JM,

Have you tried the Nutty Buddy? I took one 90+ direct to the upper center of the cup. The ball rebounded to the mound. I heard "Oh my God" from one of the dugouts. I called the catcher back before he got to the mound and kept the game going. No problem at all. It was like being hit by one of those plastic beach balls with very little mass.

I still don't know how well it dissipates the energy in a ball from down under. It would be ok with me if that remained a mystery.
