Pros:
1. Good weight. I thought these might be too mushy or soft, but the were not. They have a nice feel and throw well. When caught they feel almost like catching a hard ball.
2. They seem to be holding up well. We have only been working on how to catch so I am not sure how they would hold up when you hit them.
3. My sons have been hit in the head, chest, leg and everywhere else. The padding worked. They felt it but did not get hurt, bruised or (most importantly) cry.
4. I can catch the wild through backs with my bare hand with out the sting
Cons:
Can't think of any.
If you are learning to catch and don't want to get hit with a hard ball then these are the ones to start with. I really like them
I did a little searching and found that they made softer baseballs and decided to give them a try. These are really good. They are the correct size but much softer so they are easier to hold while throwing and easier to catch because if you get hit it doesn't hurt.
While they seem to be good quality I probably wouldn't use them for hitting. They are soft so I think they would probably not stand up well to being hit repeatedly.
