Legal WIFFLE® Ball Bats
You must check with them if a particular bat is legal in your WIFFLE® ball league. And before you guffaw, we are not kidding about the fact that there are big-time WIFFLE® ball leagues. Each has its own set of standards regarding the diameter, length, and material that can make up a WIFFLE® ball bat. Some are very lax, others not so much.
Where to Plastic Baseball Bats?
WIFFLE® ball bats are ubiquitous. Check Wal-Mart. Check your local grocery store, and they likely carry that product, or something close to it, in their toy aisle. In terms of pure price savings, Wal-Mart is likely the best place. You can also go the Amazon route if you do not want to leave your house. You probably intended to gather from an article titled this as the best plastic bat for hitting a dinger with a plastic baseball. And that said, baseball also has some holes in it. (Note, too, that a WIFFLE® ball only has holes on one side. That ball is also a patented design, which can only be a WIFFLE®). Below is our list of best WIFFLE® ball bats in order of how much we, and others, liked them.
