How far can a nine-year-old throw the NIKE Backyard GEM Practice Baseball?”
NIKE Backyard GEM Practice Baseballs feature: Ultra-soft sponge-rubber core for recreational play High-gloss, durable synthetic cover Official size and weight Available in single ball quantity Customer Review: Perfect ball to play catch with! This ball feels, weighs, and throws like a true official hardball. However, it is soft enough to reduce impact and force you to catch the ball correctly. It’s softness enables it to bounce out of your glove if you don’t squeeze your glove correctly. This is a good thing in my perspective because it teaches my kids good fundamentals while playing catch, yet it isn’t so extreme that it frustrates you or makes catching it difficult. It also has a glittery effect in light and looks really cool in the air.
