Eccentric types, strange bouncers (8)

I believe the answer is:

oddballs

'eccentric types' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'strange bouncers' is the wordplay.
'strange' becomes 'odd' (I've seen this before).
'bouncers' becomes 'balls' (things that bounce).
'odd'+'balls'='ODDBALLS'

(Other definitions for oddballs that I've seen before include "nuts" , "Bold lads? (anag)" , "screwballs" , "Eccentric types" , "Strange or eccentric people" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
