Is anybody else reading this thread in Marissa Tomei's voice?
I can’t answer that cuz it’s a BS question!Is anybody else reading this thread in Marissa Tomei's voice?
Looking for clarification on the new softball compression rules that go into effect for the 2025 season.
The rules state that the ball will now have a compression of 325 pounds with a plus-minutes of 50 (275-375).
Does that mean that my stockpile of balls with 375 printed on them are still usable? Or does that mean the balls have to have 325 printed, but they could be +/- 50 pounds in either direction?
Almost all the NFHS-stamped balls I can find still say Max 375 on them.
How about just enjoy watching your daughter play.The PGF balls have stunk for the last three years. "Sounds like a sock when you hit it" is a good description. Thud instead of crack. College coaches are aware of this fact and wonder why PGF doesn't use the Wilson ball used in college so they can better evaluate players.
Come on PGF, be better. Oh, and how about adding 20 feet of fencing in each corner outfield and bring the triple back. Maybe go crazy and buy all new 7 or 8 foot fencing instead of the falling down 3 foot fence.

So the PGF balls have nothing to do with a change in balls coming at the college level? I'm very uninformed on all this. I have heard some comments from my kid this week at PGF Nationals that "it's like hitting a pillow."I truly believe PGF is about to take a backseat to Alliance very soon if it has not already happened. The ball is one of the reason no one wants to play in PGF events. Yes, the ball has been junk for a few years now. PGF must be getting them balls dirt cheap to use such a garbage product. Not only is the ball garbage, PGF insists on using these balls for multiple games. I am fine if you want to use a ball in multiple games but it has to be a quality ball.
Back in the day, I use to go to Play it Again Sports on Beach Blvd. in HB during and right after PGF and pick up 30 or 40 of those (found?) Diamond PGF balls for $2 a piece because they were a steal. I wouldn't buy them today.So the PGF balls have nothing to do with a change in balls coming at the college level? I'm very uninformed on all this.

Perhaps training with the old pgf pillows would be good preparationBack in the day, I use to go to Play it Again Sports on Beach Blvd. in HB during and right after PGF and pick up 30 or 40 of those (found?) Diamond PGF balls for $2 a piece because they were a steal. I wouldn't buy them today.
