"Great ball for playing catch with kids that are still learning. Not too hard, not too soft, perfect weight to be able to throw without causing injury or breaking things. Good quality materials. Very happy with this purchase."

A ball and a glove in one.
Our primary Yardball. Soft enough to play catch bare-handed, no glove needed. Have a catch with anybody. Your kid, your neighbor, somebody who hasn't thrown a ball since high school.
Full-grain harness leather over a wool and cotton core, 108 stitches, all sewn by hand. Broken in right out of the box, and it looks better the more you beat it up.
Keep one in the car. You'll find reasons.

How it feels
Enough weight to really throw. Enough give that it lands without a sting.
Size10" around
Bigger than a baseball. Smaller than a softball.
4 oz
A little lighter than a baseball. Heavy enough to throw like one, light enough that a missed catch isn't a big deal.
Soft, not squishy
Wool and cotton inside, harness leather outside. Broken in from the first throw, and it looks better the more you beat it up.

I love the texture and
"I love the texture and the size of the ball. I just wish it had a touch more weight. I'm 32 and would love to have a slightly heavier option"

Good questions
Do I need a glove?
No. That's the whole idea. It's soft enough to catch bare-handed and firm enough to throw like a real ball.
How big is it?
Ten inches around, about 3.2 inches across. Bigger than a baseball, smaller than a softball, softer than both.
Who is it for?
Anyone who can throw and catch. Six to sixty, give or take. Kids, grown-ups, the coworker two desks over.
Can I throw it inside?
Carefully. It's soft, but it's still a leather ball. Mind the lamps.
Can you hit it with a bat?
No. It's made for catch, not batting practice.
Can I return it?
Yes. Unused balls in their original packaging can come back within 30 days, and holiday orders placed Black Friday through December 31 have until January 31. Return shipping is a flat $8 unless the ball arrived damaged or defective. Read the full return policy.
How does shipping work?
Balls ship from Kansas City in 1–2 business days. Shipping is free on orders over $99. Learn more from our shipping policy.
