Cor is the center of the softball. And there are different size cor's in softballs. (.40,.44,.47) The cor is the sweet spot on the ball....much like a bat has a sweet spot a ball does too. The bigger the cor (.47) the bigger the sweet spot. If a ball has a big sweet spot it is easier to make solid contact with that ball. With a smaller cor (.40) the sweet spot is smaller and harder to make solid contact.

Compression (or lbs) is used to show how tight a softball is. Meaning that a ball that has been hit a lot has kind of become "Mushy" or it sounds kind of dead. Well a ball that has a high compression (ex. 500lb) is very tight and very alive and will pop off the bat instead of sounding dead. There are a variety of compressions (375lb - 500lb) and it depends on what type of ball you are looking for in your league.

A high cor (.47) and high compression (500 lb) should travel farther and faster than smaller cor and compression softballs.
