Official NFHS Diamond DOL-1 Baseballs - High-Performance Leather Game Balls for League Play, Practice & Training | Perfect for High School, College & Youth Baseball Games

I have been buying dozens of these DOL-1 baseballs for years now. I have coached and paid the price with lost equipment including baseballs. Four dozen in one season so I have always needed to replenish my supply. When I do, I buy these baseballs because the threads are higher on them than on many other brands. This includes lesser cost Diamond baseballs. The raised threads help my pitchers pick up new pitches easier and see results sooner. I have never had any of these balls warp, even if left in rain then pounded after they dry from batting practice. Trust these balls. I plan to buy a dozen every year just for own son's development.After a month of hitting these baseballs for batting cage work they seem to be durable very close to game balls.These balls were purchased for batting practise and infield drills and so far they have held up very well. They come off the bat nicely and consistently and they keep their shape well too. My only complaint is if the grass is wet they can pick up the water rather easily, but they soon dry out and it doesn't affect the ball. Having purchased many other baseballs that were not up to standard these are a perfect buy. I recommend looking for the NTHS approval!Seems like a good value compared to other brands. Purchased as practice balls for my aspiring Major Leaguer, and so far, so good. Have only had them for a couple of weeks, so I can't speak about their longevity, but as I said, seems like a good combination of quality and price. The NFHS approval is worth paying a few dollars more for.....Diamond DOL-1 are high quality. We (18U team) use for practice and games. These hard balls last and last.Good for practice that’s it!Based on previous reviews, I went with this ball. They are fine. When my son throws them on the concrete the exterior tears. When we play on dirt, they tear, but they are still good practice balls based on price.Very very nice baseball for a junior high team
