5.0 out of 5 stars A great book about an up and coming sport; foxtail!, September 17, 1997

By A Customer

A great book for young and old alike! The book tells you how to use a foxtail, as well as great games to play with it. Everyone in the family will enjoy this book! The game is a interesting twist on catch. The only catch is that you can only catch it by the tail (The material trailing the ball). The capabilites of this little ball are endless! I'm still coming up with different ways to use it!

As soon as I opened the book, I was captured by the simplicity of the game. Even my little sister, who is 8, figured how to throw it. After a while, the whole family joined in on a game of Stay Put 21, a game featured in the book. Amazingly enough, my little sister won it! We all had a blast, though. I think Klutz has done an excellent job on this unique, yet fun toy and I would recommend it to anyone

5.0 out of 5 stars Too Much Fun, November 28, 2000

By A Customer

The Foxtail is a really fun toy. The book was helpful on ideas for games, but just playing "catch" with it is great. Even dogs will love to retreive this toy - just don't let them chew!

5.0 out of 5 stars best toy ever, December 12, 2008

By	Rachel Eckert (Detroit, MI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The foxtail is right up there with the Frisbee. I can't imagine why it never caught on. Everywhere I play it, people want to join in, or at least know what it is. I've given many of these as gifts. To me, the book is useless. It's just fun to throw and catch it. Trust me on this; It's so fun, and people of all ages love it.
