We bought this ball to be used for quick pickup games. The large size makes it both fun and competitive for a wider range of players. The ball is big, but heavy; this makes it easier to hit than a regular baseball or softball, while simultaneously making it harder to hit incredibly far, thus evening out the playing field. The fact that you don't play with gloves also cuts down on the amount of equipment you need to play. For an easy pickup game that evens things out a bit while maintaining a good amount of competition, this is the ticket. The ball itself is large, well constructed, these were the ones we used when I played in a city adult league a few years back.

My family has always played softball with one of these at family gatherings. My daughter recently had a graduation open house and had many of her friends over. Everyone jumped in and played the game using this ball. No one could hit it a mile and the game was fun as no one had to use a glove. We really enjoyed having a new one of these balls since our last one finally gave up the ghost. Highly recommended!

When I was a kid I had a ball just like this one which we called a mush ball. It's not mushy but it is softer and bigger than a regular softball making it easier to catch without mitts. I bought this one for my daughter who is learning to hit the ball so I thought also for that reason this would be a perfect fit. To be honest, we haven't yet started using this new ball, been too cold, but from what I remember in childhood, the more we used the ball the softer it became hence earning it's name Mush Ball.

These are a ton of fun! I've used them before if you play with them for awhile they will soften up and you can use them without gloves easier.

Not quite the "mushball" I was used to from high school. Pretty firm. A few good bats and it softened up a little bit. It'll have to do.

I bought this ball just for my young son to play with because he had never seen a 16" softball. Quality is good and my son loves it.

We bought this as a gift, so can not personally testify for it. But, it came quicker than it was suppose to, which is always a bonus. Plus, it looked like it was very good quality. We have also heard good things from the friend we gave it too. Would reccommend it.

THIS WAS AWESOME... WE USED THEM ON A MISSION TRIP WHERE THE KIDS DID NOT HAVE GLOVES AND THE BALL IS SOFT ENOUGH TO CATCH BARE HANDED BUT STILL HITS LIKE A REGULAR SOFTBALL

The MacGregor 16" softballs are nothing at all like the "mushballs" we played with when I was a kid. These things are rock hard. There's no way I would try to catch one of these bare-handed, much less let my kids play with them. As soon as I received them I ordered 2 Easton Incrediball 16" softballs instead. These are much mushier, and much more like the balls we played mushball with in school. I suppose serious Chicago-style softball players may prefer the MacGregor version, but for casual games with players of various skill levels definitely go with the Easton version.

My husband wanted to replace a 30+ year old softball that his family had used in Chicago. He didn't think they still made them, but they do. This is nice for working with children who are just learning the game.

A 16" softball makes it easier to play with a family reunion. No one needs a glove, especially after the ball softens up. It's easier to hit. The balldoes not fly as far allowing you to use a smaller field.
