They are actually very different balls. There is a definite technique to the real wiffleball. The other one is more solid, and can actually break things if it is hit hard enough. No movement there too.

I know some people prefer to use "blown-out" Wiffle balls instead of new ones. After a period of use, the wiffle ball holes seem to expand, and the ball loses its spherical shape at that area. There are definately pitches that can only be thrown with blown-out balls, same with new balls. I think that after too much use, wiffle balls have too much curve and become unpredictable. But sometimes all there is is an old ball. So if Blown out is the case, I plan on dropping the Reverse Hammer and Sickle. But if new, you might see the Cannonball coming.

i tipped it, you're all out $30.

Interesting stuff, especially the wiffle ball controversy! Such a devisive issue.

Hey! Leave the cricket alone!

Oof! That ball would no doubt give your rosy cheeks a terrible sting if it were to hit you in the face! Best wear some kind of helmet!


Ok, I jest badly, it does sound like fun. And it does have a great name. Wiffle well, EA forumites!

See if there is some other way to do it. Email the site.

I emailed the site Mr. Norman and to no avail. Their response was to ask a PRFer to double pay and then just pay them. Can I just mail you a damn letter with well conceled greenbacks or something? Thanks.

The game is on!!!!
You Can Still Play If You Want To
If anyone wants to play, show up with $30. We'll put the extra money towards a cash prize for the winning team, or dilute the individual costs.
Start practicing. This will be fun.

Unfortunately, no tornado has touched down in Freeport since 1963.
