The league will soon be deciding on new balls... so have your say!
White or yellow?
Worth or Combat?
High stitches or low stitches?
Batter-friendly or pitcher-friendly?

worth, low seems, non restricted flight balls, color doesn't matter yellow does make it a bit easier to see for the night games. The K masters were good last year, they just ripped easily.

I like the K-Masters except for the fact that they rip easily. I prefer the yellow ones as a batter and it makes no difference as a pitcher. I prefer low stitches, but I think the main thing is consistency. We can adjust to using a new ball at the beginning of the year but trying K-Master and then switching to a Dream Seam (high stitches) will affect pitchers. I prefer batter-friendly...it teaches me a lesson not to leave pitches in the wrong spots.
P.S. Nice subject line

So far this year we've had 2 brand new balls not make it past the first inning. Last year it happened probably close to 10 to 12 times in games we were involved in.

exit has had good luck with the balls, we lost one early last year and one or 2 halfway though a game. for the most part they see to be good. I find it helps to urinate on the ball in the parking lot just before the game, it seeps in and hardens up the yellow cover making it last. Thats just "my"pre-game routine.
I don't think the type of ball makes a difference, just the one that is the cheepest is more important to me. this year we have not lost a new ball yet. And they have all seemed to have held up well. We have also given up the most runs and probably the most hits, so it has more to due with pure luck than any other factor. Props to Exits catchers maybe the fast foul tips are caught or blocked instead of ripping off the backstop?
