Review on ⚾ SKLZ Impact Limited-Flight Practice Ball Set: Perfect for Baseball, Softball, and Mini Balls Practice by Bryan Turner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

They are great for improving hand-eye coordination in a young child.

They are great for improving hand-eye coordination in young children so they can make contact and avoid outs. These mini balls work great in a Louisville Slugger UPM 45 Blue Flame ball machine (I set the machine to 5 for slugger, 4 for grip and 8 for speed and set the machine up about 43 feet from home court). I have 96 of these and can fire them up quickly for a long workout with my 8 year old son. He uses a skinny Skillz racquet (both the heavy 30oz black version and the white 12oz version - start with a heavy racquet, then switch to a lighter racquet as he tires). It really improves hand-eye coordination. If you can hit miniballs with a flimsy bat, you can hit full-size baseballs with a real bat all day without hitting the ball. At first it will be very difficult, the baby can only contact 5-10% of the balls, but he will quickly get used to it and even make contact with 40-50%.
