Is he made of soft batting or is it kind of hard?

He is stuffed like a Teddy Bear, not too soft or hard. My grandson just loves him.

They are in between. Not the hard regular balls but not fluffy soft either. I hope that helps.

Have to agree with John, it feels almost like a heavy cotten, not foam or batting. But heavier cotten filling to me. I have had my desk now for going on two years, and it is in nearly PERFECT shape!! It's used nightly by three boys to do homework and has been dropped more then once!! hehe And is still in excellent condition! It is rather light and VERY convient shaped and sized. I can slide it into nearly any space for storage. I have also taken off the padding back (it's velcroed on with heavy duty velcro) and washed it on gentle cycle (alone) in my washing machine and then let it air out.I'm so thankful that I bought it. It has really held up well!! Have to agree with John, it feels almost like a heavy cotten, not foam or batting. But heavier cotten filling to me.

Hard. I love it! Play for hours. Mine is a big German Shepherd. Prefer the Jolly Ball but it is twice as much.

The machine is well designed for the intended "lite" ball; I do not believe this machine is designed for "hard" baseball use; I would invest in a machine specifically designed to throw a hard baseball.

The cocking mechanism might be too hard for him. They do include a tool to make it easier (it acts kind of like a pully so it multiplies your force) but it depends upon how strong he is. If he's on the small side it might be a problem.

No it's not 'soft' and it's not "plush" it's hard bouncy rubber. It's almost like a "super ball" My son bounced it on the ground and it went pretty high up in the air.

According to my son-in-law, for whom I bought the baseballs, they may be a little softer than what you're looking for.

Yes hes really durable, but hes meant more for display, Diamond Select Action figures don't really have much articulation, but they look really good. But yeah if you were to play with it, it be fine. Very heavy.

He goes fairly well on our oriental rug but if your capet is extra plush he'll probably struggle. Hard floors are best.

There are bolts and nuts holding him together. I would not try to take him apart. He is too cool all together. I move him around the house and it never stops surprising me. "He" or "She" is a lot of fun.

It's a thin layer of padding (maybe 1/2") but doesn't feel springy like foam. I would guess it is cotton batting.

The fabric the baby will rest on is a cotton/poly blend. The quilted batting is 100% poly.

It's stuffed with a soft cottony stuff, not just a foam pad. though I'm pretty sure it's not an all cotton batting. I haven't popped a seam to see what it's stuffed with but it's too light to be a packed pure cotton or wool batting and too heavy and firm to be simply polyfil. Definatley NOT a foam pad or chopped foam pieces though.

the one for my grandson is not very firm. he had to get used to the softness as he is big and sunk into it quite a bit.

It is soft but stiff. I guess it just needs to get broken in. But my son still prefers his original snack cups from Nuby (I think that's the brand).

It uses soft balls and it is good for getting timing down... You can adjust the "apparent speed" by adjusting the distance between the machine and the batter. It really helped my son (and his teammates) consistently getting the bat on the ball, but the light weight of the ball prevents the development of a powerful swing. We found the utility maxes out at 12-13 years old and a "real ball" machine is needed.
