A player hitting a wiffle ball gets a false sense of success. They can swing any way they want and the ball flies. Not true feedback. Especially before a game. Before a game if wiffles is the only thing you can do then you may have to use them. I don't let my players take to many swings with them. I usually tell them 5 to 8 swings and then a few check swings.

Through the years I have found the Jugs Bulldogs to hold up the best. I have TCB Hole balls as well, but they are expensive and tend to fly much farther than you would think for a TCB type ball. Diamond brand wiffle balls are more durable than most, and will get you through a year or more. The Diamonds will eventually crack as well, but are usually a little less expensive than Jugs and last much longer than 'cheapos'.

A few years ago we were going through wiffle balls like crazy. I decided to pay more for wiffle brand. We have broken just a few in 3 years.

Thanks for the feedback on this. Finally received the TCB Hole balls and DD loves them! Still haven't received the Jugs balls...
Yes... TCB wiffle balls. More expensive but worth it...plus they're guaranteed for a year. I think I ordered a dozen for about $50
