Best 52/300 Ball

[Pistol148]

For 2024, what do you guys feel is the top 5 best 12" 52/300 softball? Has to have the ASA/USA stamp. I feel like some of the same brands made 5 years ago aren't as good as the ones recently purchased. Maybe just some batches aren't as good. Here is my list, curious what others think.

1. Tattoo NX3
2. Thunder ZN
3. Tattoo Composite
4. Demarini Razzo+ Leather
5. Worth Hot Dot Composite

I agree with your list. Whichever brand you get, make sure it's composite. For whatever reason the cover makes a huge difference on .52 300 balls. Synthetic ones are noticeably worse than composite.

The only bad thing I notice about NX3s is that they fly funny. Lots of weird knuckling and sidespin at times.

Lots of differences between batches of balls as well. One batch will be great, and then the next (of the same brand) will suck.
