Big League Whiffleball Awesome Show Great Job!

 Ill pitching, check out the video on ESPN. Far more impressive is their strike zone. Imagine if we had one of those for sticks! It would open up a plethora of new fields to play on. Sadly, they don't offer one for sale on their web site, Big League Whiffleball, offering instead some ugly t-shirts. I suppose we could build one ourselves, but we are far removed from our physics days, what thickness and what material would be needed to stand up to the abuse of a steady diet of bizman fastballs?

I have NO confidence in my ability to throw whiffle-fastballs, but I would gladly throw my arm out attempting to do so.

can't second-guess the pros, but isn't batting one-handed the only way to go in whiffle-ball?

foon-ball is better.

I prefer the balance of a 2 handed swing- you can do a hella follow thru with a wiffle bat.

dunno if these are engineered well enough to take the pounding from the relative heft of a tennis ball.

Maybe a heavier base, but still, mobile stickball would rule. think of the parks!

al k. miz you my brotha, and I throw myself under the bus here too, but pitchers like you and me with our flutterballs don't have to worry about those strike zones bearing the heft of our pitches.
