The optic yellow durahide cover wipes clean easily and resists weather-related deterioration, the solid polyurethane core maintains consistent compression and feel across the full dozen, and the raised red seams provide realistic pitch grip and seam feel through every practice repetition.

COR measures how much a ball rebounds after impact. The .44 COR delivers a slightly reduced rebound coefficient compared to the .47 standard used in most certified game balls, making the CSB17 a controlled-flight practice option where a slightly less lively ball response may be preferred for youth player development programs where a softer, more manageable feel creates a better training environment for developing players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eHow does the CSB17 11-inch differ from the CSB18 12-inch? Both are GFP-44 durahide-covered practice softballs with .44 COR, 375 compression, solid polyurethane cores, and raised red seams. The CSB17 is the 11-inch version for youth fastpitch programs at 5.24 lbs per dozen, while the CSB18 is the 12-inch version for adult fastpitch and slowpitch programs at 6.06 lbs per dozen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eHow does the durahide cover perform for outdoor youth practice? The durahide cover wipes clean easily after dirt and mud accumulation on youth fields, and resists moisture absorption and surface degradation from outdoor weather exposure better than leather -- giving the CSB17 a longer useful life under the same daily outdoor youth practice conditions that would deteriorate a leather cover more quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Champro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44699382251562,"sku":"CSB17","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/4000\/6186\/files\/CSB17_1.jpg?v=1786931774","url":"https:\/\/spcsports.com\/products\/champro-gfp-44-11-fastpitch-softball-csb17","provider":"SPC Sports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
