Product Description

Product Description

Classic Swingball is a perennial family favourtie, which is great fun for players of all ages and ideal for use in the garden or on the beach. Swingball is a great way to develop hand-eye co-ordination in younger players and is also ideal to play as a family. Teenagers and adults will enjoy hitting a real tennis ball at full whack in truly competitive matches. You don't even have to worry about the ball disappearing over the neighbours fence, with the tennis ball tethered to the Swingball spiral these problems are long gone!

Height adjustable up to 1.6 metres (5' 3") the pole can be broken down into 3 sections for easy transport and storage. Classic Swingball comes complete with 2 durable Checkerbats (265 g approx) which are able to resist the demands of even the most enthusiastic players.

How do you play?

A game starts with the tether in the middle of the Swingball spiral. With two players each player takes turns to hit the ball, one players hitting the ball clockwise, the other anti-clockwise. The ball flies around the pole and the tether moves up and down the spiral. The winner is the player to reach the top, or the bottom, of the spiral first.

The Benefits. Younger players can learn valuable social skills by interacting with friends and family while helping to promote self-expression through play. It can also fuel an interest in sport, which they take with them as they grow and we all know that any exercise will build strong and healthy bodies. The benefits of active sports are well documented and are known to have positive effects on learning, social and physical development. Teens benefit from being competitive, learning fair play and sportsmanship.

Amazon has certified this product's packaging is Frustration-Free. A Frustration-Free Package is easy-to-open and comes without excess packaging materials such as wire ties, hard plastic "clamshell" casings, and plastic bindings. It is exactly the same as a traditionally packaged product--we've just streamlined the packaging to be opened without the use of a box cutter or knife and will protect your product just as well as traditional packaging during shipping. Products with Frustration-Free packaging can frequently be shipped in their own boxes, without the need for an additional shipping box.

3.0 out of 5 stars Swingball 4 Sep 2011

Durability: 2.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
What a great invention played this forever as a kid and now I have the joy of watching my own kids! Great fun product for all the family and no tv to be seen just plenty of fresh air! Only negative on this product is that like most things these days the build quality is not as good, already the spike that goes into the ground has bent after only a couple of weeks use. Still works fine though and good value for money from amazon.

3.0 out of 5 stars Swing ball 18 Aug 2011
By Fran
Durability: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 3.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 3.0 out of 5 stars   
Swing ball seems strong enough to be pushed into the ground. However the section which should end up in the ground bent. This section needs to made from much better quality metal. Also I wasn't impressed with how the string attatches and rotates around the pole. Tended to slip down which meant game over for the same player regardless who hit the ball the most.

A proper swingball with a real tennis ball, just like the old days before health and safety went haywire! Excellant game can be played by children and adults and tolerates the most vigorous of players, excellant value for money.
