We only used these outdoors on dry, grass only fields and dry, half grass/half dirt fields. We use a mechanical Louisville Slugger "Blue Flame" pitching machine, coach pitch, tee, and soft toss with these baseballs.
After two sessions, seams were starting to fray on 5 or so baseballs. The holes the red stitching goes through all stretched out considerably. I think this has to do with the suppleness of the leather, but attribute the red seams fraying more to the "grip" on the pitching machine than the baseball quality. The thread isn't nylon, so, that factors into it.
However, many of the balls warped really fast and most of them have soft spots. The leather appears to have stretched or loosened as well. To be fair, I'm not sure how much endurance baseballs in this price range are supposed to handle. I was a little bit disappointed and am not sure if I would use these for batting practice again. I might go with a cheaper baseball or ones specifically for BP. For pitching & infield, they're terrific.
But, the baseballs were all very "lively"off the bat and when grounders bounce off bad parts of the grass. This was one of my primary considerations for this baseball purchase. They have a real rubber encased cork center, medium grade wool, yarn, & leather. I don't like using the composite cork & rubber center (sometimes called "cork & rubber pill" - an extremely misleading name) because they are specifically designed to not be as lively, albeit for safety and skill level of the younger aged players.
Don't expect "game balls", but a decent practice ball in the mid price range...which is what I expected and received.
The April ones are in the usual crinkly, very clear plastic wrap (see picture). The May ones are in a soft, slightly opaque plastic. The May ones are much softer and have much narrower seams (see picture for seam difference). The April leather is tighter and of a higher quality. April was made in China, May was made in Mexico.

Molto dura, NON è adatta alle mazze in alluminio, e soprattutto NON ai bambini. Evitate di usarla in grandi spazi non controllati, dove potreste colpire qualcuno senza accorgervene.
Per iniziare, però, può bastare anche una palla più morbida, tipo quelle che vengono usate nel softball.
Se non siete bravi lanciatori, fate molta attenzione a non colpire il battitore: è come ricevere un sasso addosso.
