1. A weighted ball for hitting comprising:
- a resilient, flexible, nonburstable outer shell;
a hollow inner chamber;
a filler hole;
a weighted filler material inserted into said hollow inner chamber through said filler hole;
air inside said hollow inner chamber that displaces the remaining space inside said hollow inner chamber such that said inside air pressure equals an outside air pressure;

Abstract
The invention is for a weighted ball designed to be hit or struck where the ball has a resilient, flexible, nonburstable outer shell, a hollow inner chamber and a filler hole where a weighted filler material is inserted into the hollow inner chamber through the filler hole and where the air inside the hollow inner chamber that displaces the remaining space inside the hollow inner chamber and where the inside air pressure is equal to the outside air pressure, and where a hole plug seals the filler hole after filling the hollow inner chamber with the weighted filler material, and where a hole plug sealant is used to fill the vacant hole plug space and to reinforce and strengthen the hole plug.

10. A weighted ball for hitting comprising:
-
a resilient, flexible, durable outer shell; a hollow inner chamber; a filler hole that includes a self-sealing, flexible end flap that is at rest in an initial, closed position; a weighted filler material is inserted into said hollow inner chamber through said filler hole, pushing back said end flap, and where said end flap returns to said initial closed position after filling, thus sealing said weighted material inside of said ball; air inside said hollow inner chamber displaces any remaining space inside said hollow inner chamber such that said inside air pressure equals an outside air pressure; and a sealing material that seals said filler hole to reinforce and seal said filler hole. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 19)

17. A method of training and evaluating a hitter using a weighted ball comprising:
-
hitter hitting said weighted ball with a bat; said weighted ball wrapping around said bat and said weighted ball absorbing energy from said hitter; said weighted ball leaving said bat in a substantially horizontal plane if hit correctly; said weighted ball donuting substantially vertical to ground if hit incorrectly and lifting up if hit too low or diving downward if hit to high or; donating horizontally if hit in an inside out manner with said bat.
