Rukket Pure Power Weighted Baseball/Softball Heavy Training Balls (1 Pound, 2 7/8-inch), Practice Hitting, Batting and Pitching with Complete Control, Choose 15-Pack, 9-Pack, 3-Pack, OR Bucket Holder

Order was received quickly and was exactly as described. The bucket is heavy duty enough and has a handle for carrying. All 15 weighted balls were round and not flat as described by another reviewer. Using these weighted baseballs for pre-game hitting has greatly improved our hitters statistics. You can quickly tell which hitters are driving the bat through the entire swing and which ones are stopping the bat at ball contact. Also, the hitters know when they have made solid contact with the bat barrel vice hitting top or bottom of ball based on sound and flight of weighted ball. Just a great tool to help your hitters gain memory muscle for proper swinging. We also use them when warming up young throwing arms and when ensuring proper catching techniques. Once they have used them to warm up and start throwing regular weight baseballs they are amazed how much better and further they can throw. These weighted balls are definitely a worthwhile purchase and its great to see the smile on the face of our players as they get better and better.

Great warm-up balls that really gives you a sense of how well your ball players are hitting the ball. I have each ball player first goes through a heavy ball station before heading into the cage for BP. The weighted balls allow me to help tweak the mechanics and get a good sense of how well the ball player is connecting. The red color also helps to best see where the ball player is hitting the ball on the barrel. Twelve to 15 balls seems about right when cycling through a couple of stations (e.g., heavy bat, weighted balls) as each ball player is heading into the cage. The 15pk bucket was the better buy of the options.A word of caution - keep other ball players clear of the area and don't use these in the backyard thinking they will not go far. When a good ball player connects bat to these balls, they can go sailing and can certainly hurt someone or go easily through a window.I would have preferred a heavy duty sack than the bucket. If you are carrying a bucket of baseballs, having this additional bucket takes both hands away. It would be easier to just string a heavy duty sack around the shoulder. Not a deal breaker though.

Great for indoor or outdoor BP use. Soft toss, tee work, arm plyometrics, warmups… etc

Have worked great. We've used these during batting practice with college level hitters for two seasons and have not had a single ball burst, crack, or open. A prior purchase of heavy hitting balls is down to about 1 ball still functioning, while the rest have been thrown out due to the sand/dust spilling out of the hole. My opinion is that the best thing about these types of balls is the immediate feedback players get when their swing does not square up the ball. The only way for a player to get this ball to travel, is by hitting it squarely. No matter what type of swing you teach, these balls will help players understand their timing and focus on hitting the ball flush.

Very durable balls. I play in an adult men's baseball league and these withstand pregame hitting drills from grown men. They enforce your ability to drive thru the ball and even when you square one up they don't go so far that they get list. Great balls I would definitely buy them again. Would recommend them to anyone coaching a high school team or even a pre-high school level group.

Very durable

Great product I have owned several brands in the past some at double the price per ball and these hold up to high school size players with very powerful swings with no problem at all and the kids love them. No cage to warm up in no problem with these balls. Since I have been using them the kids on average have gained 15 to 20 feet in distance off a tee swing. Great training tool and an even better price

Great tool to help young batters understand swing snap and acceleration through the hitting zone. I used these balls with my 8U and 10U teams. The young hitters were provided with real time feedback which helped coaches explain good technique. Very durable product.
