I've had a rubber coated softball since I was a kid. Decades. A wound core, with a rubber cover. Great for throwing against a wall to keep an aging arm in shape. But it finally bit the dust, so I ordered this ball as a replacement. But when they say sponge center, they mean it. Bounces like crazy, think super ball crazy. This ball will work, but it comes back fast off of the wall and I'll need to work on reaction time, and on being prepared, to keep it from getting past me.
