> > I am just curious about something. My son and I like to play wiffle ball in the back yard quite often. Would swinging a wiffle bat adversely affect one's hardball swing? Is it a good alternative to batting cage practice or is it more likely to introduce bad habits? The reason I ask is because getting my son out to practice is hardball swing at a batting cage is time consuming and expensive. Since the backyard is free and easy I thought maybe this would be a good way to get in some practice and still have fun at the same time.
