The core rating on a softball refers to the bounce. For example, hold a core .44 in one hand a .47 in the other and drop-em. The core .47 will bounce higher. The major difference in the balls is the compression rating. The higher the compression, the harder the ball. Hard ball = more distance. Standard fastpitch is core .47, compression 375.
A softball consists of a core, typically made of cork or rubber, which is surrounded by layers of yarn or synthetic materials. The entire ball is then covered with a leather or synthetic cover to protect it during play.
