Very fun for the whole family.

Everyone in my household has enjoyed playing with the tetherball, both adults and children. Even some of our guests have enjoyed playing as well. It has definitely made us more competitive when playing.

Easy Assembly

Just assembled, so this review is not considering the longevity of the product. Easy and quick to assemble. Good design. Seems quality.

Grandchildren love it.

Product arrived on time. Packaging was not damaged. Item is not moving when it's being used due to the sand in the base which is large enough to keep it stable but not be in the way of playing.

Great product

It was delivered quickly. The assembly was quick. There is an oprion to put water or sands in the base, we put water, but i think it will hold uo better with sand. Great product my kids love it.

Wish there was a lil more height adjustment

Only issue is I stand at 5'2" and spouce a foot and some taller, so it is too high for me if I dont stop the ball after 2 winds. I have ti stand close to the pole to even reach before that point. But if we remive a pole its way too low for bith of us. Otherwise it is durable and strong from stand to ball

Quality product for the price.

I love this thing. Won't even let the kids play with it. This is MY toy") Goes together fairly quickly. No wobble. Solid post. Ball is not too hard and not too soft. Sort of like Goldilocks. I did change out the carabiner clip to detach the ball each night and put it away. If I could get my hands on a second one I absolutely would but they appear sold out everywhere. I'm not the only one who likes them. Also changed out the ball with a makeshift racquet ball so I can paddle ball with the pole. The only downfall I see is the attachment at the top does need readjusting one in a while due to hard play. They should maybe supply two with this unit.

Fun backyard game

Bought a few weeks ago, gave to our son for his 8th birthday, assembled easily enough. Only issue is the metal locking assembly for attaching the ball will not stay closed!!! It seems to have a defect because after every game you have to retighten it closed. It continues to open despite trying different positions and having to screw it closed every 10 minutes or so! Happy with rest of set up but something isn’t right in this important detail!
