Debeer Clincher Slowpitch Softball

Yes, this is a 16-inch softball, which is the official size used in many traditional slowpitch leagues, particularly those that play without gloves.

The steam-welded kapok core provides a softer, more cushioned feel compared to solid polyurethane cores. This makes the ball easier to catch barehanded, which is a key requirement for many 16-inch slowpitch leagues.

The Clincher-stitch is a signature construction method that helps the ball maintain its round shape and structural integrity even after repeated hits. It is designed to prevent the seams from unraveling during intense gameplay.

The TruTech leather is designed for durability and consistent grip, but like all leather softballs, it will perform best when kept dry. If it gets wet, allow it to air dry naturally to maintain the integrity of the cover.

This 16-inch ball is significantly larger and softer than a standard 12-inch softball. It is specifically engineered for a different style of play where the ball's size and composition allow for fielding without a glove.
