4.0 out of 5 stars "Catch" Gets an Upgrade March 10, 2009

By TIMOTHY W. Walsh

Durability: 4.0 out of 5 stars    Educational: 2.0 out of 5 stars    Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   

A DJUBI is a dense foam ball with an elastic rubber band running through it.

THE RACQUET is a cross between a launcher, a net and a scoop.

THE GAME OF DJUBI is a game of catch but with more fun and action than the typical throw/catch model. You loop the elastic band on the hook of the racquet, pull back and then let the djubi fly. The launching of a djubi is a very satisfying action. TIP: A slight flick of the wrist upon release really sets it sailing. A djubi can easily go over a 100 feet!

My 10 and 12 year old daughters took to it immediately and could easily catch with the generous basket. They really liked it when I launched a djubi straight up and they had to settle under it and catch it with their racquet. My older nephew quickly took to making behind the back catches and launches from different angles.

Djubi is good because it's totally original, yet familiar. Is it a slingshot? Is it lacrosse? Is it a Nerf-like launcher? The answer is yes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great toy, Great customer service June 4, 2009

I strongly recommend djubi. This game is phenominal for outdoor play. Easy to launch (and it actually goes as far as they say... even farther!), easy to catch. It couldn't get any better.

There's a compalaint here about the band breaking. While the rubber bands (launch loop as they call it) break even under normal use, I would say this is completely reasonable. Of course they won't last forever. Just like a tennis ball, ping pong ball, etc. And the replacement packs are reasonably priced at djubi.com.store.html if you can't find them at a store.

That said, I have had great success contacting djubi through their website. If you do have any problems, I strongly recommend contacting them. Their customer support is superb. Give it a shot. Their support is good enough to ease any frustrations over a broken djubi!

5.0 out of 5 stars Djubi family time! July 9, 2010

Djubi is a great game. Our family enjoys our family game time and this is a great addition. It is a fun twist on "catch". Our entire family likes it. It is a game where you can use it in small areas or large areas (beach). You regulate how far you need/want the ball to go. It has given us lots of fun times. I have read reviews where people are not happy with the ball band breaking. Ours did break....but....I emailed the company. THAT DAY, I received a phone call and replacement balls came immediately to me at no charge. The new ones are still going strong after alot of play. They were very accommodating on satisfying the customer! Every game has glitches....not just this one.....the key is customer service.....and this company will and did stand behind their product! I highly recommend this game!
