wiffle ball
Perforated plastic sphere
Wiffle ball is a backyard variation of baseball played with a lightweight plastic ball full of holes and a narrow plastic bat.
The perforated ball curves dramatically and travels shorter distances than a regular baseball, making it safer for small spaces.
The name comes from the Wiffle Ball brand, though it's used generically: We played wiffle ball in the driveway until dark.
