WILSON A1030 Champion Series Baseballs Bucket (3 Dozen)

Best practice balls available! Premium quality. Game-like grip and construction. Feel and sound off bat as accurate to game as possible.

The 1030's are the best I've ever used for batting practice. I pay my 11 year old his weekly allowance based on how many balls he hits over the fence during BP - the price was $ 5 per ball and he'd typically hit 4 or 5 out off of 100 pitches or so. The first time we used the Wilson 1030's he hit 10 out of the first 36! Pretty amazing, now he gets $ 2 per ball or I'd be broke. Great balls, more pop than any others I've tried, very durable and a super price. The bucket with the padded lid is a pretty nice plus as well.

Couldn't be happier with this purchase. The balls all came individually wrapped. The Wilson A1030s are the type of baseball my son's little league uses, which is what caught my eye. The balls are classified as blemished balls, but I have a hard time determining where the blemishes are (mainly just printing smudges). I have used them with my 11 year old son for batting practice, as well as his 12U travel team when I throw BP. So far they are holding up fantastically (probably have thrown them about 30 times); and with the raised seems they are pretty easy to throw accurately. There is a huge difference in how these balls jump off the bat compared to the old balls I have been using for BP. And for the price I paid (~$102), I have yet to find anything that comes close to the value. Highly recommend this to anyone who wants baseballs to use for practice with little league baseball players.

Great price for a large bucket with padded top - you get 3 dozen new baseballs individually wrapped. I was surprised though that they were blemished balls. I did not see that the baseballs were blem balls in the description before I bought them (not bad blems just a few with higher seams, some seams have different colors, some holes in the leather where the seams are, but nothing major like rips / tears in leather etc). Either way - they are new and 3 dozen of them with a bucket for less than the cost of 3 dozen new baseballs is a great deal to me! We are going to use them for indoor training over this winter with my 14u baseball team. I might look into another bucket soon. Would also recommend finding other baseballs if you're looking for game balls - these are just good enough for batting/ fielding practice (not game quality balls). Oh and the pad on the lid is not glued on very well... but again - an easy to deal with problem - just glued it back on with some hot glue!

Such a great purchase. I actually have a few of these buckets filled with balls for my kids baseball/softball teams. This one in particular is outstanding for many reasons. These balls come individually wrapped, so you know they’re in tip top shape when you’re getting them. They’re perfect for batting practice and tee work, on the field or in your yard. These baseballs hold their shape nicely and really do give a nice pop. These baseballs have bright seams and are soft. Now, let’s not disregard the Wilson bucket itself. The bucket is sturdy enough to sit on while doing soft toss, penciling the book from the dugout or even munching on seeds from outside the fence. You can even bounce the baseball on top of the cover and let your player hit the ball. It’s great for hand eye coordination. 5 stars all around

Great deal. The balls were all individually wrapped in great shape, have held up well to light hitting/heavy pitching practice, and the bucket is solid. These balls have nice high seams so not great for pitching machines. This save more for pitchers to practice with.

Balls arrived when they said they would be here. NICE balls to practice with. Feels good in your hands and has nice pop off the bat. We were using junk balls before for practice that hit like a sponge. As soon as I started pitching these to my 12 year old he finally put a couple over the fence. 9 to be exact. I would and more than likely buy again.

The bucket comes with the foam top so coaches can sit on it. These alone usually run about $20. So for the 36 balls you are essentially paying about $4 a ball. A1030's. This is just a little more than Rawlings OLB3 cheapies. You get full grain leather. They are made in Cambodia. Quality wise: Seams seem pretty good. Some balls can have some lumpy spots. They have a slight soft feel to them. We have been using them for pitching practice, and they work pretty good. Haven't used for batting yet.
