Wiffle Ball is a miniature version of baseball. It can be played indoors, outside, or in small spaces. To throw the ball, players need a pitcher and a bat. The ball is made out of a rubbery, plastic-like material. Typically, it comes packaged with a hollow, hard plastic yellow bat that measures 1.25" in diameter.
The game can be played by two players, or a team of up to ten. A complete team includes a catcher, a batter, and three fielders in double and home runs areas.
Some of the rules have been standardized by American Wiffle Ball Association. This allows teams the opportunity to play in different tournaments. In an inning, there are usually three outs. In some leagues, however, each team gets to play an additional inning.
Wiffleballs can also be used for throwing different types of pitches. These include curve balls and risers. Wiffle Ball cannot be thrown too far unlike other sports. It is best to try different releases before you find the right pitch.
Wiffle ball is the ideal indoor game. The ball can also be thrown with different curves or risers to allow for all angles of hitting it. Players can use either one or two fingers depending on the speed. Batting gloves can be used by ADA-qualified players. But, in order to be safe, all players must have the proper equipment.
A Wiffle Ball field can be constructed in a "V" shape, or in an irregularly shaped field. Some fields are recreations famous stadiums. You can mark them for singles, doubles or triples. Others include a regulation sized corn hole court.
Wiffleball can be very simple to learn. The batter can use a "BattersBox", batting gloves, or just swing it nakedfoot. Unlike regular baseball, rubber or metal cleats are not allowed. Similarly, no paint or tape is permitted on the bat or ball.
The Wiffle(r), in addition to eight slots on each side, has a perforated ha. This makes it easy for pitchers to drive the ball far. It's easy to throw a ball with curves, because it is so light. A fairly level pitch is acceptable for a slow player.
Another type of Wiffle Ball is called Slow Pitch. Strikes are not permitted in this type of game. Instead, the hitter tries to hit as far as possible. After the third strike, the batter cannot advance to the next base. The batter will be declared out.
Another way to be out is by hitting the ball through a "foul line" on the ground. To catch the foul ball, it must rise above the hitter's heads. To be legal for play, the ball must pass within a radius of 1/4 inch from the head of the hitter.
Wiffle Ball was created originally to make baseball more accessible to kids. David Mullany developed it after seeing his son play baseball using a plastic golfball. He is now inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame. The company remains in the family of his parents.
