Product Description

We love this unique and portable All Surface Swingball game. Empty the case and fill with water, gravel or other ballast. Close lid, insert game poles and you're ready to play on any surface- grass, concrete, even sand. For two-person play, use the large checker bat paddles to hit the tethered tennis ball back and forth. Or bat the ball around the pole for one person or practice play. Pole stands approximately 6' tall assembled. All components store in game case. Paddle colors may get vary.

4.0 out of 5 stars Really fun toy encourges exercise, April 28, 2008

We bought this toy a couple years ago and is fun for ages 3-adult. It teaches kids how to hit a ball without having to worry about the ball breaking a window or going over the fence. It can be played two a time too and it will help teach them hand eye coordination too.
I gave it four stars though as the only thing not great is that after some time the ball does come off the top spiral, it will not go far and break anything but a slight inconvienance to have to get and put back on.
Completely worth the fun but if they could prevent this on a future model it would be awesome.
Also the way the bottom opens it is very easy to fill with water or sand and refill or clean it as needed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, June 19, 2007

We LOVED this toy back in the day, but this new version is a cheap disappointment. The pole does not stay in its positioner in the base very well. It pops out frequently. The "old school" zim zam that has a pole that you drive into the ground is MUCH better.

We loved it as a kid in the 80's and now our children love it too! I love the 'play anywhere' base which, as long as it is filled with water (or sand) never tips over. Lots of fun for kids of ALL ages!
