TCB balls for BB or training?

[SBDadSanDiego]

I can't see using them w/o a net. They still fly 20 feet and then roll. And I would never toss them from the front, without something in front of me. I mean 16 ounces is a lot of weight to get hit with.

I watched the man in the video pitching them in a gym and he wasn't even wearing a glove. I expected something a lot softer than these turn out to be.

I just bought these a few weeks ago, love em!
I bought them because I hated dragging the net out, Have you ever tried them Amy?
I throw to my DD from about 15 feet, when you hit these things flush, they almost completely pancake... I am yet to have one come back at me that put even a tiny amount of fear into me.. they just don't move fast enough, even when coming from a big hitter.

I have not used them but found these videos, they sorta remind me of heavy duty water balloons, or jelly donuts lol

Large balls

I use them and tested them for hitter-Howard. The small 15 Oz balls work great. The larger balls stay away from. They are way to heavy for 90% of the kids. What the above poster stated is why I like them.

I have a 3 1/2 year old son that hits 12 to 24 of the ATOMIC balls and 24 TCB balls off a T every time my daughter does hitting practice and he love hitting them. These are much better than hitting basketballs and do not impact the weist and elbows like basketballs.
