wiffle
Perforated ball brand
Wiffle describes something with holes or perforations, most familiar from the Wiffle ball—a lightweight plastic ball with oblong cutouts that cause erratic flight paths, used in backyard baseball games.
The holes make it curve unpredictably and travel shorter distances than a solid ball.
To wiffle can mean to move with a wavering motion or to swing and miss: He wiffled at three straight pitches.
