Incredible!
Awesome ball, quality material. Looks freakin awesome when we go to practice at night. Got two, one red and one blue for my kids and they love it. Their friends think its super cool the way the ball lights up bright and flys through the air.

Great Lights, Clumsy to Operate
Overall I like this ball a lot. In Fall, baseball practice usually ends at sunset. But my boy and his teammates often want to hang around and still play catch. This ball is perfect for that – it lets them play past sunset, and it’s fun to just see the lights fly through the air. I’m inclined to buy more for other teammates as gifts just to see a bunch of these flying through the air at the same time.My one complaint, and this is what stops it from being a five-star product, is the battery/switch situation. I bought the “switch” version which does allow it to be turned on and off without taking the battery out. From what I gather from the reviews, that’s a big improvement over the previous model that didn’t have a switch at all. But it’s still difficult to do – the coin-twist unlocking is easy enough, but the switch is so tiny and awkwardly placed, it’s hard to turn on. And replacing the battery (which is A23 btw) is also a little hard. Because of those things, I feel like it’s not something you can just give to a kid and expect them to be able to do themselves, which is unfortunate because this is a device that I think kids would otherwise love.This product would be so much better if there were a way to turn it on and off without having to open it up, and if were rechargeable instead of needing replacement batteries. I feel like both of those things would be easy enough to do – a simple recessed switch and a USB charging port on the outside of the ball would solve everything wrong with this device, and make it easier for younger kids to use without adult assistance.TLDR: I like it a lot, but make sure you buy the “switch” version, and know that even that one still is clumsy to operate, especially for young kids.

Pretty cool
This is a really cool idea. Different feel than a normal baseball when you are throwing and catching it. The lights work well, but the switch on the battery location is really terrible and difficult to turn on and off. I didn’t even see it at first and thought you had to remove the batteries each time. It’s still difficult because even with the switch you still need to use the coin provided to open the light and turn it off, not as simple as it should be. As for durability. Time will tell. But it seems more like a novelty than someone meant to last.

The New Impact-Activated Version is a Game Changer!
My friends and I loved the old version of this baseball, but we always wished it had an easier way to turn the lights on and off. Guess what? They actually listened! I was so pumped to see this new Impact-Activated version when I was shopping for a baseball gift. It lights up with just a firm tap and then shuts off on its own after like a minute of inactivity. So much easier! Seriously, if you’re looking for a cool baseball gift, you need to try this. Highly recommend!!

It’s made for « soft pitches » on soft surfaces (grass). We tested it out without being careful at all and we really enjoyed it at night, it truly glows bright but hardly resisted the laser pitches we missed on gravel roads at the cabin between us 3 drunk brothers-in-law 😂!A bit pricy, but if you’re careful, it’s a cool gadget!
