What size are the Smushballs?

They are approximately the size of a baseball.  We use to have some that were slightly larger than a golf ball but coaches who tried them did not like them as well.

How heavy are they?

Thye are heavier than a nerf ball and probably similar in weight to a golf ball but softer.

Are they similar to a Jugs-type ball? 

The best way to asnwer this is to ask if a person has ever seen a promotional stress ball that usually has a business logo on them.  Sometimes they are in the shape of the earth.  Originally this is what I used, a stress ball which worked great but did split sometimes.  An importer told me he had a more durable one, a slightly harder covering which has turned out great. You can squeeze them, throw them with zip and they last and last.

Do they come in different colors?

We have special ordered yellow ones in the past but softball coaches who use the white ones have liked the white ones.  A person can always go online and find colored stressballs that can work as well.

Why do softball coaches use the same size as baseball coaches?

Coaches have said that if a player can hit these having them thrown at a relatively close range, then they can hit a softball square.  The softball seems bigger.

Can I get a sample?

This is the reason why we put together a sample pack offering.  Shipping is what kills the little profit we make and you really can not try the balls with just a single ball.  We recommend getting a sample pask of 24 balls and then throw them to a player, see how they work after throwing two dozen and the routine you can develop.  This seems like a much better way to see how they work.
