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. Approximately 2 dozen are around 2 lbs.

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. We still do order red and yellow for coaches who order by the case but unless they are in stock, the coach needs to wait for the next shipment

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 after using smushballs. Also, bigger softball size balls are more expensive and tend to rip with heavy usage. So we decided to have one size.

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.

Do you accept Purchase Orders?

Absolutely. However, we do not need the actual purchase sent...rather, just send up the billing and shipping address, the quantity and the PO number. We then send an invoice with the shipment.

I don't want to order online, can you just accept a credit card by phone?

Because we are a small company, google checkout was the most secure way for people to order online. The connection is secure and we then see no account information from the buyer. This is for the buyers protection as well. So the only way we can accept a credit card is through google checkout.

Sometimes I have a hard time using google checkout as it does not work right?

The marvels of technology do occur and if there is a problem ordering online, please let us still help you. We are old fashioned and actually trust people so if you email us the quantity you would like, with a billing and shipping adddress, we will send out the order with an invoice...yes it is crazy we would do that but only twice has a person cheated and it does not seem fair to penalize everyone because of a couple of cheaterfaces (my son's description).
