5.0 out of 5 stars Chuckit!, July 26, 2008

By	S. Ansman "The White Shepherd" (Oklahoma) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This thing is the BOMB! Takes no effort at all to toss a tennis ball twice as far as you normally throw. I abuse mine a lot and it still works like the day i got it. Highly recommended for those that cant throw far. Get the ultra the rubber grip feels better on your hands.

5.0 out of 5 stars Haven't had this much fun throwing the ball in years!, April 16, 2009

By	Paul Peterson (Minnesota, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have only had this product one day now, so I can't attest to its longevity.

When I first opened it, I was a little clunky with it and wasn't sure if I would enjoy it. It seemed hard to snap the ball in and I was kind of smashing the ball against the ground to fully lodge it in. Gladly, after about 2 minutes, I was getting the hang of that part and came to find that I could fully snap the ball in place in about half a second by grabbing first with the back and pushing forward.

Let me put it to you this way, my dog and I lost the first ball I threw. I had no idea how far it would go and didn't anticipate it. Lets just say it went over my garage and somewhere into oblivion, goodbye chuckit ball :) Good thing the ball that came with it was nothing more than a regular tennis ball and I had plenty of those lying around.

The second time around was smoother, went to an open area and tested it at different speeds. There seems to be a sweet spot you hit, where throwing any harder doesn't add distance, but you get a feel for that pretty quick. The ball went far, imagine you putting your shoulder full into every normal throw and then adding a lot of feet, that was the average throw. It was great fun.

I bought this in anticipation of the summer, because last year I had thrown my arm out one day (I have an English Springer Spaniel) because my dog would literally rather have a heart attack than ever stop playing fetch. This year, I could see it in his eyes, whenever I would grab a ball he would give me the stare of, you are going to throw this ball so long your arm is going to fall off, lets go have fun!

Needless to say, I threw the ball farther, faster and for more time yesterday than I did any day of the summer last year. I don't have so much as a sore muscle early this morning and am ready to do it again. My dog on the other hand has turned into a sleep deprived teenager from all the exercise and probably loathes the thought of the mid day sun waking him up from his sleep today :P He was beat!

My one complaint isn't with the item, its with the season. Spring stinks. By the time we were done playing my dog looked like a chocolate lab and I haven't turned on the water to the hose yet. So, its some major baths. Normally my dog hates the idea of the bath and makes it sound like I'm throwing him in some Roman arena to fight to the death. But he was so tired after playing, he actually laid down in the tub. I could have swore he muttered, just wash me, I want some sleep...NOW!

5.0 out of 5 stars My Dog's Favorite Toy!, July 13, 2009

By	Erileigh - See all my reviews

My Chocolate Lab LOVES this toy! It's great because I can really launch it far and he can burn all that energy chasing after it and returning it to me. Once the Chuckit! comes out he wants to play forever. And for some reason he only likes the Chuckit! balls that come with it. I put a regular tennis ball in, but he would only fetch the Chuckit! ball. Fine with me, I bought extra of those! Highly recommended for active dogs who love fetch.
