The 12" Safe-T-Soft with Durahide Cover is the top of Champro's Safe-T-Soft size range — designed for players working at full regulation 12" softball size in environments where injury reduction remains a priority. It's the right ball for adult recreational leagues, school PE programs, indoor practice facilities, and any setting where the standard game-sized ball is needed without the full impact of a hard-core softball.

• Full Regulation 12" Size – Matches the standard circumference used in adult recreational, slowpitch, and intermediate fastpitch leagues, allowing players to train and compete with correct sizing while still benefiting from the safety-rated core construction
• RIF-Rated Solid Foam Rubber Core – Reduced Injury Factor foam core compresses on impact to lower the force transferred on contact, making it safer than conventional softballs for indoor facilities, recreational leagues with mixed skill levels, and school or PE program environments
• Optic Yellow Durahide Cover – Durable synthetic leather exterior resists scuffing, cracking, and premature wear through extended indoor and outdoor use, while the optic yellow finish keeps the ball clearly visible across all lighting conditions during fast-paced drills and games
• Flat Red Seam Construction – Flat seam profile minimizes aerodynamic drag and reduces unpredictable spin variation during flight, producing a consistent, trackable ball path that supports skill development for hitters and fielders at all experience levels
• Ideal for Indoor Training and Recreational Play – Low-compression foam core controls ball travel and reduces bounce intensity, making it safe and practical for gymnasiums, multipurpose indoor facilities, and confined practice spaces where a standard hard-core softball would present safety or property concerns

Wipe the guard clean with a damp cloth and let it air dry to keep the poly shell and straps in good shape throughout the season.
