My kids love this. We set it up during the summer not far from the basketball hoop. They go back and forth between the two and come up with fun games. Ah the imagination of kids! I do wish the base were just a bit larger. When the adults hop in and play we can get a little crazy and I think a heavier base would help. Other than that this is the perfect pairing for a swing set, dome climber, or basketball hoop.

We purchased this pole and ball compilation one year ago. It has provided many hours of pole and ball fun. The kids do just looove to hit the ball, which connected by an included rope, will go around the pole. It is educational. Physics concepts like centripetal force and collisions are demonstrated with this ball and pole combination, but that is not the reason to buy it. The reason to buy it is to add more pole and ball fun to your life.

We had this set up on the driveway and would come home to find any kids walking by stopping to play! It's a great product and provides hours of fun for everyone. Our only issue was that the seams on the ball eventually came apart. We have since replaced it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have left this tetherball up year round for 2 years and no signs of wear. Quality product, nice soft ball, provides for lots of hours of fun for the kids outside in all ages yet. Easy to move to mow around by rolling it on edge yet super sturdy and unable to dump over- has withstood 60 mph winds without difficulty during storms.

I bought this for my teen-age son. I have had such a great time watching him and his friends play (very aggressively I might add). These guys are all about 6 feet tall, but the game held up extremely well and provided hours of fun. We've also had substantially smaller kids play and they had a great time as well. I highly recommend it.

My daughter got this as a Christmas present a few years ago and just loves it. It has stayed outside and endured much rain, wind, and snow. There has been no signs of aging or rust, which Is wonderful. It's such a great quality of material. Our family loves a good competition and this tetherball has allowed us to make many happy and laughable memories.

We bought this teatherball set 2 years ago. The top cap broke after 3 months but we neglected to fix it . I just called customer service to buy a new cap and they are sending it to me, free of charge! I realize the part is inexpensive but there aren't many companies that would be willing to do that. Thank you Lifetime!!!

We got the portable tetherball but didn't get a chance to open the box for 6 months. When we assembled it 6 months later the pole was wobbly. Their customer service was amazing and they absolutely took care of our issue. The tetherball assembly is awesome! The kids love it!! Good fun while getting good exercise!!

Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. Tons of fun. We've played on this for hours. Especially love the soft ball...better than the ones on the playground. Might want to update the photo on here though. It shows a white area whereas mine is yellow.

I purchased this about 2 months ago for something to keep the kids busy and active outdoors during the summer. I was surprised with how study the base is when playing and don't notice any wobble of the pole, even with the hardest hits on the ball. I just hope I can keep my undefeated status as the kids grow up. I expect years of reliable use from the tetherball set.
