Worth Super Gray Dots

[Lynn]

Our league has recently started providing balls. They are using a Worth Optic Super Gray Dot 40/400. Our games have turned into low scoring defensive games. My question is what style player or league are these type of balls geared toward?

This was the official SPN (Canadian org.) ball up until a few years ago, and what we used locally. Absolutely terrible. Bat/skull breaker in the spring and fall, bag of socks in the dead of summer.

We didn't get the usual complaints from batters here when we switched to 52/275's. They're actually better to hit during a hot, humid summer.

On a cool Michigan evening, there's a lot of fun to be had hitting 40/400's.

When it's 30*C with 100% relative humidity, they're worse than Hot Dots.

maybe you're thinking of a 44/400

Thanks Hiltz.

40 or 44/400 I assumed at all times they would be better then the 52s. Learn something new everyday.

I hit a some old beat up grey dots yesterday in 85* weather and they flew just fine...

I've always found Grey Dots in the cold will go egg shaped really fast. Not the most durable ball.

Using grey dots in a co-ed single wall league. They jump off the bat but don't carry. I'll blame that on the junk bat though
