They look like baseball sized golf balls. They have to be specially designed for the machine or they wont come out right. The machine needs to properly grip them by the dimples. You cant just stick any old balls in there. I think it could also be a little dangerous.<br><b>References : </b><br> They are special dimpled rubber balls. They look like baseball sized golf balls.

For use with any machine that can throw competition grade baseballs (except the Hitting Streak® series of machines) Tuffy® balls are recommended when maximizing machine speed is the primary goal Polyurethane So my guess is the softcore balls may be too soft and light.....but at the worst it would just shred a ball. EDIT********** No they are not hollow. They are close to the same as a baseball.<br><b>References : </b><br> It uses 73mm dimpled balls, and it includes six balls.

Polyurethane

So my guess is the softcore balls may be too soft and light…..but at the worst it would just shred a ball.
