Anyone here hit these yet? They seem to be a new Worth ball made to compete with Dudley's Hard Core. The fields at Viera were nice enough to donate 9 of them to me.
The Super Duper has a soft, multilayer cover, just like the Hard Core.
I had 2 Super Dupers to try in BP. 1 Protac GSL Pro M, and 1 pro comp USSSA Pro M. The GSL ball has a better look to it, with way flatter seams. The pro comp ball has higher seams.
Long story short, the Super Duper Pro M is a fairly pale, weak-performing imitation of the Hard Core. They're nowhere near as hard, and don't have a whole lot of zip off the bat. Even in 45 degree weather they felt a hair on the mushy side. The pro comp USSSA ball performed better than the Protac model.
I won't call the performance totally abysmal, but it was still lacking considerably compared to the Hard Core. I think in really hot weather this ball won't perform well at all.
Top distance with the Super Duper Pro M was roughly 360', and I had to earn it. Hard Cores were going 30' past that with less effort. The two balls don't feel or fly the same. Hard Cores have a way crisper feel, and come off the bat noticeably faster.
Now, I won't call the Super Duper Pro M completely useless. It travels OK, and seems like an acceptable product. However, considering it's a multilayer ball designed to compete with Hard Cores I don't think it's quite up to snuff. Honestly, this ball performed like a regular single-cover Pro M. Just very average.
Anyone wanting max batted ball speed and distance out of a Pro M should probably stick with Hard Cores. Those wanting a softer option to keep the ball in the park might want to look at Super Dupers. Both balls cost the same. From a pure performance standpoint the Hard Core is a FAR better ball.
