For the most part, I don’t review alot unless I find a real reason to either leave a positive or, negative review (and hopefully answer some questions I may have had before purchasing myself)... In either instance, it’s always with the intention of helping the next person(s) with their purchase of the same item... The following review is for the MacGregor 11” X100 softballs... *NOTE: I’ve given 5 stars however, I’ve not had these for any length of time, so I do not know about their durability*<br /><br />Anyway, I’ve coached, Dixie Youth, USSSA & ASA travelball/tournament ball, for a few years now (yes, a baseball guy before my youngest daughter found her passion for fastpitch, I then became a student of the game, and have been coaching with my wife, for some time now)... I don’t think I know everything about fastpitch, or believe I ever will but; I do know the market price for good leather covered balls... As many people who are involved with tournament, or year round league play, know; there never seems to be enough balls at practice, games, etc... So, when I found these; I had to at least take a look... I admit, I was a little uneasy about these balls, mainly because of the price ($43, for a dozen of leather balls is a good buy, anywhere in my opinion)... I only purchased two dozen and figured worst case, I’d have a couple dozen for the cages; at least for a little while... Well, they were delivered today... What I found definitely exceeded my expectation... They seem to be legit, good quality leather cover, and nice raised seams... Are they “Dream Seam”, quality?... To me, not quite, but I could definitely see these balls keeping pace with other leather covered, tournament sanctioned balls (I.E. Wilson, AD Star, Champro, Etc.)... Just marked them, and put them in a bucket... We’ll see how they hold up throughout this spring, summer and fall... I’m definitely impressed with the feel and quality of materials used to manufacture these balls... If they only last through this year, for the price; I’d purchase again... Hopefully this helps clarify anything that the listing doesn’t address...
