Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
Phlat Ball is the cool, new award winning sports toy that you throw a disc and catch a ball. Its unique time delay feature ads an element of surprise to game play or even just having a catch.

The Phlat Ball is the perfect outdoor toy for both adults and children. The Phlat ball is thrown like a disc by squeezing down the middle to set the time delay, then in the air it transforms into a ball. The Phlat Ball has a waterproof, foam exterior, which makes its ideal for the beach or pool. And as it can be squeezed into a flat object it is easily stored or packed for summer holidays and day trips.

Phlat Ball is a great outdoor toy wherever you are such as playing in the park, playground or simply in the garden at home.

Product Description
Now do pay attention. Here's a nifty device that will really fox your chums on holiday. It's a frisbee-like disc that transforms itself into a beach ball-like ball while it's in mid-air. Incredible but true. Put simply, here's how it works: Due to a sudden and dynamic internal pressure shift, the device randomly expands from a 9" disc into a 6" ball during its parabolic flight trajectory. In other words, it pops open when you least expect it, making it simply perfect for frolicking beach games of all sorts. Of course the sudden change in air resistance brought about by the ball's transformation means that it instantly alters course, embarking on a new trajectory that makes it extremely difficult to predict. Your challenge, ofcourse, is to catch it before it touches down, otherwise you will appear to be a complete spanner. An accompanying manual details all manner of games to play and gaiety to have. The latest laminated fabric reinforcement technology lends the Phlat Ball XT much greater durability than your average beach ball, guaranteeing years of phenomenal and phantastic phun phrom Phrinton to Phaliraki. There. That feels much better.

2.0 out of 5 stars Large Phlatball, 8 Jul 2005
By Rich Milligan (Thatcham, Berkshire) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:2.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 
I'd really like to review this product and say how much it's changed the lives of my children as I love the idea of a back to basics toys and could just imagine us playing hour after of hour of catch with this, but with the added bonus of it being a ball with a twist.

Basically it just doesn't work. As soon as it's thrown it pops open so the surprise element is taken away. Add to that fact that when it is popped as a ball, the construction prevents it from being thrown, kicked, bounced or easily caught by smaller children, so the limitations of play when it is a ball are quite restricted.

After some initial interest from the kids, it no longer gets much of a look in and at the rather high price for what it is, it just doesn't represent a good value purchase.

My dog likes it though!

1.0 out of 5 stars terrible!! , 2 Jun 2006
By *mela* (U.K.) - See all my reviews
What a complete waste of money! The Phlat Ball simply doesn't do what it's supposed to do.
There is no randomness to it popping into a ball so you simply can't play any of the games with it. Only stays flat for a second or so. You are therefore left with it in a ball shape and it is too fragile to be kicked, doesn't bounce... Absolute rubbish. Don't buy!!!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't do exactly what it says on the tin!!, 7 Jun 2005
Durability:2.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:2.0 out of 5 stars 
Very, very disappointed with this one. A great idea, and looks well constructed. The trouble is, the ball stays flat for no more than about 3 or 4 seconds. The game suggestions on the packaging, such as throwing the flat ball around a circle of friends, and the one left holding the round ball is "out" is, quite simply, laughable because it pops open almost as it's released EVERY time.

Sorry, but this was a complete and utter waste of money.

3.0 out of 5 stars It does stay flat, but only if...
The ball will stay flat if you wet the suction cups. It's quite tricky to do, but once they are damp, and the cups are aligned, it stays flat for some time.
