wiffle bat

Hollow plastic bat

A wiffle bat is a lightweight plastic bat with a hollow barrel, designed for use with wiffle balls in casual backyard games.

The thin walls and perforated or solid construction make it safe for indoor play and incapable of driving a ball any real distance.

The term sometimes describes any flimsy plastic bat: He swung the wiffle bat at the piñata.
