I could throw my best curve ball and sliders with those as a kid. My little brother, who was a damn good batter, never could hit them. He’d get pissed off and wouldn’t play anymore. 🤠

My younger brothers and I spent HOURS (all day) in the summer playing ball with either a whiffle ball or tennis ball. We had to transition to softer balls after several broken windows, including a big picture window in our living room. 😮

My dad played baseball as a young man and then fast pitch softball until he was nearly 40. He wasn't a pitcher, but could throw a curve that always faked me and my siblings out, and I'm not talking about batting - just catching him. He had pretty serious talent and came from a family of good players, including his dad and uncle who both did some minor league time with the Toledo Mudhens.
I had a big breaking curve in high school. Never played or even seen wiffleball like that. Looks fun, but does anybody ever hit the ball? I’d swing every pitch. The timing all looked about the same.

Yep. Been there done that.

As did we, Big Jim. But we still found time to play.

With who?
My sister wasn't much for sports.
Mine wasn’t either. My little brother was, though.

Waffle ball, with the holes in one side of the ball is a different world! Can you hit it? Hell yeah but only if you are used to it. It was NOT for baseball players

Sure it was, we did both. We finally stopped playing on game days though, wasn’t too bright tiring your arm out on game day, but we was kids!! Amazing the time you spend on that type of thing when you don’t have computer games. 😂
