That's a good point, we'll see what the Walmart ones are like and I'll post again next week probably

How about these? I found them from a Google search. They look slightly different from the GopherSport balls, but they're pretty close. They are on sale right now!

Everyone be warned that we purchased a six pack of fuel-colored wiffle balls on Amazon listed as 5 inches, and they came golf ball sized. As far as shape and compressibility though, they were the exact same, just shrunk down. I believe they were Rawlings brand.

My impression is the all the Easton 5" balls are golf ball sized, they're using the same image as the Amazon items that are golf ball sized by the same name

Yep. I just checked the description(should have checked before I posted it). The 5" title is misleading. It might be possible to make them, but I don't think it would be worth the time and effort.

Yup, like everyone else, I was fooled. Maybe I'll incorporate them into my off-season team bonding competition "LAST Robotics".
