1.0 out of 5 stars Not realistic -- in fact, not usable, January 14, 2010

I ordered this product along with Grand Slam Tennis for the Wii, based largely in part on the 5 star review by "J. M. Manson". After receiving the item, I realized that the aforementioned review is so inaccurate that it must have been written deliberately to mislead buyers. Probably by someone with some financial stake in this product.

1. Let's start with the most important issue first: the product doesn't work as described. When you play tennis on the Wii, the controller is held so that the buttons face the ceiling and the left and right edges represent the forehand and backhand. Well when you do that with this device, guess what? The racquet faces the ceiling also. Anyone play real tennis with the racquet facing the sky? Didn't think so.

2. It is not the same size or weight as a real tennis racquet, unless you play tennis with a racquet 16" long that weighs 4 ounces.

3. You can't use the Wii jacket with it at all.

4. It holds the remote very loosely, using only a few flimsy plastic tabs.

5. The product is made of cheap, thin plastic that I have no doubt would have cracked within a month had I bothered to use it more than once or twice.

Take the money you were going to spend on this and use it to light a fire in your fireplace and it would be a better use of the funds.

This racket is very cool. It has the weight of a real tennis racket and really makes you feel that you are playing tennis. I have played hours of Wii Tennis and have had no problems. Buy it! I just bought a second one for when I playing doubles with a "real" person.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works well - but not for 8 foot ceilings, January 23, 2010

These rackets look good and work well. The only problem is that all the adult males, like over 5' 8' or so end up hitting the ceiling with them on accident. My girls, who are both 5' 4' come close, but don't hit it. My father, my husband, etc can not use these though because they always hit the ceiling with them. This of course is not a product problem, but if you have 8 foot ceilings where you play Wii you might want to reconsider this purchase.
