The solid polyurethane construction delivers consistent weight and feel across the full dozen, the dimple-molded surface provides the consistent contact geometry that pitching machines require to feed and throw reliably, and the gold yellow color maintains visibility during high-velocity batting practice and machine-fed drill sessions. Sold by the dozen at SPC Sports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe dimple-molded surface is the defining design feature of the CSB-57 -- the textured dimple pattern provides the consistent, uniform surface geometry that pitching machines require to grip, feed, and release the ball reliably with consistent velocity and spin characteristics on every repetition. Standard seamed softballs can feed inconsistently through some machine wheel configurations as the seams create irregular contact points, while the smooth, uniform dimple surface of the CSB-57 delivers the consistent grip and release that keeps machine-fed batting practice sessions flowing at full speed without feed jams or inconsistent velocity between repetitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eSolid polyurethane construction makes the CSB-57 substantially more durable than leather or synthetic leather-covered softballs under the repeated machine feeding, wheel contact, and batting practice impact that a high-volume pitching machine session imposes on each ball. Standard game balls deteriorate rapidly under machine use, while the solid polyurethane CSB-57 is engineered specifically for the repetitive contact demands of machine-fed batting practice sessions across a full season of daily use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe gold yellow color maintains visibility during batting practice against varying field and facility backgrounds -- an important consideration for batters in the box who need clear visual tracking from the pitcher's mound equivalent distance through the machine's velocity range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eSold by the dozen, the CSB-57 provides a full practice set of machine-ready softballs for pitching machine sessions, team batting practice rotations, and individual hitting development work in a single purchase, giving coaches enough balls to run continuous machine-fed drill stations without constant ball retrieval interruptions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eImportant note: dimple molded balls are known to void the bat warranties of many major bat manufacturers. Always check your bat manufacturer's warranty policy before using dimple balls during batting practice with player-owned bats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThis product comes with a 1 Year Manufacturer Warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eFor more fastpitch softballs and training accessories, browse the full \u003ca class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/spcsports.com\/collections\/spc-sports-fastpitch\"\u003efastpitch collection at SPC Sports\u003c\/a\u003e.

The uniform dimple surface provides consistent grip and release geometry for pitching machine wheels, delivering reliable velocity and consistent feeding on every repetition. Standard seamed softballs can feed inconsistently through some machine wheel configurations as the seams create irregular contact points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eWill dimple balls void my bat warranty? Many major bat manufacturers explicitly state that using dimple molded balls voids their bat warranty. Always check your specific bat manufacturer's warranty policy before using dimple balls with player-owned bats during batting practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eHow many balls come in a purchase? The CSB-57 is sold by the dozen -- 12 balls per purchase -- providing a full set of machine-ready softballs for pitching machine sessions and team batting practice rotations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Champro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44546951053354,"sku":"CSB-57","price":101.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/4000\/6186\/files\/CSB-57_1.jpg?v=1783548740","url":"https:\/\/spcsports.com\/products\/champro-11-dimple-molded-softball-csb-57","provider":"SPC Sports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
