Enough weight to really throw. Enough give that it lands without a sting.

Bigger than a baseball. Smaller than a softball.
A little lighter than a baseball. Heavy enough to throw like one, light enough that a missed catch isn't a big deal.
Wool and cotton inside, harness leather outside. Broken in from the first throw, and it looks better the more you beat it up.

I was young once, and
"I was young once, and a baseball player. Crashed my motorcycle and broke my neck. Now I am a quad enjoying a cheerful life. Yardball is a poignant therapy, for twisted hands and fingers. Thank you."
Quality craftsmanship
"This ball is a home run! I was so impressed with my first one that I bought a second one. Well made in the USA! It’s heavy enough to throw quite a distance but soft enough so that if my grandson misses the catch, it won’t break his nose. 🤗"
My family loves it! No
"My family loves it! No game, no rules, just a ball to toss around."
Man my kiddos and I
"Man my kiddos and I can’t get enough. We’ve had our Yardball less than an a week and we’re already buying 2 more 😂 We’re fans for life. Really wish we could get our hands on some of the sold out limited editions though!"
Love it…. It’s awesome.

Love this product
"Love this product so much. Brings me back to my childhood. Can’t remember a time I didn’t play catch with my Dad. Now playing it with my Grandkids. I bought 2 I love them so much. The only small complaint is the leather doesn’t have the grain like in the pictures. Really wish it did. Just the look and texture would take it over the top and make it flawless. Still Top quality product otherwise."
Having a lot of fun
"Having a lot of fun with it! My son and I play catch all the time!"
It's great! High Quality with
"It's great! High Quality with really nice stitching! Most importantly, my grandson LOVES it! He is just learning how to catch at 3. 5-years old."
Perfect for young and older players alike!
"I appreciate the fact that it is softer than a hardball but not as soft as a foam made ball. The leather cover is very robust and durable. Feeling and looking both?And I think this will last for many, many years, if properly. Take care of not left outside and rain and snow and also, you remember to knock to use baseball bats sticks or throw the ball against the brick walls or the sidewalks and it should last and last and last. By having a some give to it, it is also a lot safer than a regular hardball. And if you're using it around other children or in the, you know, around houses and cars, you don't have to worry as much about damages, cause I don't believe it would damage cars. You know at just normal pitches and catches speeds. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase. And I believe my grandkids and myself will all get a lot of use and a love enjoyment out of this yard ball. I recommend it to anybody at wants to play ball, but don't want to use a hard ball and the nacos injuries or damages. Even though you still have to be careful using the yard ball, I recommend it."

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.
