whiffers
Those who miss
Whiffers are people who whiff—who miss what they're swinging at, especially in baseball.
A batter who strikes out is a whiffer; a pitcher who racks up strikeouts is also a whiffer, from the other side.
The term extends to anyone who fails to connect: The golf course was full of whiffers today.
