Excellent bats. Harder plastic than the C271 Louisville bat means more distance. The elite is worth the extra six bucks for sure. Go get one and enjoy! Here's the video!
Have you been trying to find our pitching tutorial videos, but hate scrubbing YouTube? Well...fear not, they're all in one place now.
Well, I've done it...officially. I have gone a full year without playing a game of Blitzball or Wiffleball. I'm officially a pile. I've had tons of projects around the new house and have set out space in the pasture for a ball field, however, it's simply not been built yet. Hoping that next summer will bring the first season to "the farm" (that's what we call the new place). I'm now accepting ideas for the new field. My thought is that it'll face Southeast to avoid the evening glare in the batter's eyes. Who am I kidding though, it doesn't get dark in NW Montana until 11pm in the summer, so we should be good to go for just about any game during that time. I've gotta kill some pasture grass and begin the transfer to turf grass so I'll need to install irrigation on the fence, which should be able to cover most of the short field. Maybe 120 foot fences to accommodate both Blitzball and Wiffleball. You may have noticed that I'm leaning Blitzball nowadays, and here's why. With kids learning to throw baseballs in practice, I gravitate toward giving them a toy ball that allows for the same mechanics to yield similar results as a baseball. Wiffle is all about alignment of the spinning axis of the ball, but Blitzball is so similar to throwing a baseball I think it can actually be almost a training tool for kids and adults. If you're competitive and have any number of adults that think they're still 18, Blitzball translates incredibly well for them too. It's a win-win, so that's the deal. I hope that the past year brought you more plastic bat and ball sports than it brought me, but rest assured, I haven't forgotten about you, I merely needed to finish the chicken coop...the eggs don't lay themselves!
I've been out of the game for too long. I bought a new house with plenty of space for a ball field, I have some friends all over the country doing amazing things with the backyard game, and I'm ready to get this mess going again. I've completely re-built the site, and I still just want to help you all find what you need for backyard bat and ball sports. Message me, comment on stuff, make suggestions, and I'm more excited to get this thing back than ever. Let's have it, kids, it's SAHDwiffle time! It isn't going to be perfect right out of the gate. Re-building this thing is no joke for amount of work necessary, but I'll add things as I get to them from the old site. Have particular interest in something, let me know. Just an FYI though, I now live in Montana where we won't see the grass again until about April. Keep me entertained over the Winter!
Upgrade! Just moved from Colorado to Montana. With the change comes a small farm, which includes enough space to get creative with the building of a new plastic bat/ball sports field. What are your thoughts? Ideas? Shoot them this way! I’d love to hear about them!
John has been doing this. He has nearly completed his hand built repertoire of “small baseball” gloves. Each of which is purpose built for the person wearing it. Different sizes, different webs, different materials to ensure that each glove serves its purpose perfectly. Folks, we are talking wizardry here. The man is a genius. As a curiosity, would any one be willing to pay for one of these? Is there interest out there for playing “small baseball?”
My mind just got blown. John is a user with a history of providing neat things for us. He’s given us a formula devised to create wiffle sized fields out of big league dimensions, a bunch of stadium draw ups for people curious on how large to build replicas, a hand made child’s wiffle glove, and now this.
FINALLY!!! Sorry team, this was one hell of a summer for not getting much wiffling done!
