Great example that if people think the home run fence is too close here in the states, and an adjustment needs to be on the field, they don't actually have to move the fences back, they can just alter the ball again. Less expensive adjustment. Which can be made on the next purchase of softballs.From the details, I was able to come up with the Cor (Coefficient of Restitution) value for the Japan Softball Association is .40 to .44 compared to .47 for the National Fastpitch Collegiate Association. From my minimal research based on these Cor values, this would result in a 6% to 14% reduction in distance.
Aka~ the difference between the old white ball and the yellow rocketball that changed the game.
Can reflect on the percentage of advantage given or taken away from batters by doing an adjustment in the Flight of the ball.
