Wiffle Ball

[Fallen Jedii]

I'm sure most, if not all of you, know what Wiffle Ball is. It's one of the best backyard sports of all time.

I really love playing, but I just can't seem to pitch consistently well. One day, I do well. The next, you might as well put Stevie Wonder on the mound and he'll do a better job. I'm pretty sure I'm throwing properly. I just have no control. Is there something I'm not doing right? Or are there tips you guys could give me?

It drives me crazy when I get humiliated and then have to deal with my friend's trash talking! I'd really like to be on the other end.

Look, I know this isn't exactly a sports forum, but you have to be able to tell me something!

I love the game and still play it a lot, but doubt that I can teach you how to pitch better over the internet. So the next best thing is :

Video tutorial. Amateurish, but you can link to other good tutorials from it.

Mostly, just get out and practice. And from personal experience, I will say that scuffing the ball is at the top of the important things to do. It's legal and will give you better control of the ball.

Good luck!
