Thanks I have carved a couple of baseballs, but find the cork is a little too dark to really show detail well. So I stay away from the cork baseballs and cork softballs.

[Hooked on Carving]

Is there a particular brand that has a nice inside to carve?

[Reb]

Was wondering that myself. Are the insides made up of different material, depending upon brand.

[golfballcarver]

terry , there is a poly core baseball they use it in pitching machines try one.

I list the various brands I've carved, in the full article. I've probably carved more Worth than any other. I got my balls from a couple of friends who play softball, so brands are dependent on what they prefer to play with. Insides do vary, but not necessarily by brands. Colors vary, too.
GBC... I prefer the leather covers... don't the pitching machine balls have a harder cover?
