While still on the subject on wiffle ball as you can view on this site, I have decided to add a review on an accessory 
that is needed to have more of a complete set. The wiffle ball set that I reviewed only contained a bat and three balls. However, it didn’t contain the necessary bases to go along with it. So, what I will do in this post is go over a high quality set of bases that you can use to have the best possible experience when playing the game.
I am introducing the Orange Throw Down Bases (5 Piece) by BSN. I found this on Amazon that’s retailed at $14.32 and was received by mostly favorable reviews from more than 600 customers who purchased this product. Now, I would like to state that I haven’t used this product before, but since it’s from over 600 customers, I’ll go with my gut and would recommend this product.

Reviews
This product received a rating of 4.6 stars out of 5 from 649 customers who purchased this product. As I have stated earlier, I would recommend this to people who are interested in playing the game of wiffle ball or who are curious in starting out to play.
One reviewer stated, “Great family fun on the go.”
Another reviewer stated, “These are heavy and seem very sturdy.”
As for the drawbacks about this product, the critical reviews were mostly based on how it looks and smells. One of the comments was stated as, “Awful smelling rubber mats.” Another reviewer thought that the orange color faded quickly. However, the negative comments didn’t state how the performance was affected. So, I hope that those critical reviews doesn’t hinder into possibly investing in this product.

Armand, great review of this product. I use to play whiffle ball all the time in the backyard when I was little and we would use things laying around the yard as placement bases so I definitely would have loved having this growing up as I am sure many kids and families will enjoy

Thanks Kyle! Hopefully, people won’t have to use substitute bases anymore when playing the game of wiffle ball. Instead, these would be ideal where you can actually step on a base as like in the game of baseball or softball. It is also better as it has that authentic feel to it.

Hey Armand, excellent review and looks to be a great product. We sometimes get bored doing the same things over and over as a family, but this sounds and looks to be great fun. The price of this product also is very affordable, so I am sure there will be a lot of families purchasing this great product. 🙂
