I really like these for kids who are 8-10. Hard balls are really hard, and the RIF 5 balls (which are much more common) are fine to throw with, but terrible to hit with. Kids really whack a level 5 ball, and it still goes nowhere. This ball comes off the bat a little harder, but not as hard as a real ball. At under $40 a dozen, the price is right. Rawlings makes a similar ball that is close to $100 a dozen.
