Balls for Indoor Practice

we have used all kinds of balls for gym workouts. There is nothing better then a normal baseball..comes off the floor just fine. thge kids always found others to be strange to thorw hard to get a grip on

I understand what you're saying Three7, but that doesn't really help Style....some places don't allow you to use real baseballs indoors.

Style, I really prefer the Diamon DFX-9 (or maybe its the DFLX-9) andyway, it really feels like a real ball. Nice skin, good weight, and firm. But it will give a little bit and help out with indoor facilities.

We use Easton Incrediballs a lot indoors as well as doing a lot of stuff with whiffle balls or tennis balls on occasion. For fielders' drills we'll mainly use the Incrediballs on the gym floor. Playing catch it just varies what we use; sometimes we'll use the Incrediballs and other times we'll use regular baseballs. Pitchers always pitch, even when inside, with real baseballs; typically actual game balls that are fairly new. For the batting cage, we have a bucket of baseballs specifically for the indoor cage. They are regular baseballs (I want to say they are Diamonds, but not sure) and we're able to use them in our cage b/c it is in the old gym where the wrestling stuff is during their season so it doesnt matter if we beat up the gym floor. We do hitting drills mainly in the old gym and do defense and running in the big gym.

TCB1 hit the nail on the head. I'm asking our church for permission to use the gym for an occasional indoor practice and we need to be able to make assurances that we're not going to leave any scars.

Thanks for the input from everyone.

Incrediballs are good for hitting drills but come up short for throwing - a little too light(?). My preference was for Kenko balls, hollow rubber balls with dimples. Not too lively like a superball, may be marketed by someone other than Kenko today. I also used them outdoors when the field was wet.
