SAHD Wiffle Reviews Blitzball

As you may remember, we did an interview with Aaron Kim, the founder of Blitzball, for our first issue of the magazine. For many of you this was your first introduction to this product and it has since faded from the minds of most of our readers...but not all. The new and exciting website, Stay-At-Home-Dad Wiffle has been reviewing wiffle products left and right but I noticed that they had not reviewed the Blitzball. I gave them a link to the article in our first issue and soon enough they were ordering some of Kim's products. It had been a couple of weeks since I heard anything about them testing the product and they finally put something up on the website. The wait was well worth it because they put a video up reviewing not only the ball, but the bat as well (which can be ordered in a combo pack for $20). Click HERE to see the review on their site. They seem to be convinced that Blitzball is not an inferior product to Wiffle and, in time, will "built itself into a longtime player in the backyard[s] of America." SAHD Wiffle also thinks that the two products can "co-exist peacefully in the world of backyard bat and ball sports."

FT Wiffle Reunion Game

The tattered remains of Caputo Complex Wiffleball and FT Wiffle have merged together to create the Monmouth County Wiffle Association. However, only FT Wiffle met at "Lancaster Field" recently. By the way it's not the same Lancaster Field in the sense that it's not in the back yard. Gethard mentions the reason for this in the update video saying the yard is too small for a bunch of 19-year-olds to play a game in. Nevertheless the new set up looks nice - a lot more room for the players. The highlights video was preceded by an update video by Gethard. He mentioned that the tournament that was to include remnants of FT Wiffle and Caputo Complex, as well as anyone else interested in playing was taking longer to organize than originally planned. He attributes this to delays in the delivery of components in which they plan to build the new field with (particularly the fence). Gethard admits that they could have had a simple set up and had a "simple game" but that just wouldn't be their style. He talks of making it "bigger and better" than anything they've ever done. That's cool. But he might not be noticing that summer is running out and all the players will be dispersing once more to their colleges and universities. Can he make this happen before it's time to head to the university book store? We'll keep you posted.

Blitz Ball

A guy has emailed me a couple of videos he's found (this video is one of them) and I'm amazed a ball with no holes can move this much. Not only am I shocked but so is the Huffington Post. What are you feelings about Blitz Ball?
