Softball

Softballs are a type of ball used in the sport of softball. They are specifically designed for use in the game and are larger and softer than baseballs. Softballs are typically made of a solid core, which is surrounded by layers of synthetic or natural materials, such as cork or rubber. The outer covering of a softball is usually made of leather or synthetic materials.

Softballs are used in both recreational and competitive softball games. They are designed to be easier to hit and catch compared to baseballs, making the sport more accessible to players of all ages and skill levels. Softballs come in different sizes and weights, depending on the age and gender of the players. The most common sizes are 11-inch and 12-inch softballs for women's and co-ed leagues, and 12-inch softballs for men's leagues.

Softballs are an essential piece of equipment for playing softball and can be found in the supply class Athletic And Sporting Equipment in the supply group Recreational And Athletic Equipment. They can be purchased at sporting goods stores, online retailers, and specialized softball equipment stores.
