5.0 out of 5 stars Get it with the heavy duty replacement ball, March 22, 2010

This is a fun game that plays like the original Zimm Zamm of the 70's & 80's. However, the manufacturer's ball does break right away. If you want to buy this product make sure that the seller you purchase it from offers a free heavy duty replacement ball. If you purchase the game with the free replacement ball you will get a lot of great play out of this game. Without the replacement ball the game is not worth purchasing.

The only reason I didn't return the item was because my son played with the parts independently after the ball went flying off the string within minutes of being set up, and the pole was filled with dirt. Oh well. I had the first versions of this game when it was called "Zim Zam" and was sold at Montgomery Wards a looong time ago. It quite literally lasted about 20 years. When it finally pooped out, I started trying to find alternative versions for my kids to enjoy. We simply count on them lasting no more than one year. How sad is that? This was the most disappointing. We will not make a repeat purchase.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor imitation!!!, May 7, 2011

I absoulutely loved zim-zam and was looking for another. This was a poor imitation! First trying to put the pole in the ground. There is a start formation on the bottom of the pole. This does not make it east to go into the ground. We ended up bending the flimsy thing! We ended up finding something to make a smaller hole first then putting the pole in. After finally getting the flimsy pole in the ground we started playing. After literally the 5th hit the ball broke in two. Yep split right in half it did. the only thing holding it together was the fabric on the outside. After another five hits it totally separated. I don't think the pole will hold much longer if we do get a replacement ball or drill into a tennis ball!!! Such a shame since the game is so much fun!
