I purchased this mainly for nostalgic reasons, my grandparents used to have one and I used to love playing it when I was young (many years ago now!!). I now play this with my children in the garden on sunnier days. It is sturdy and easy to put together. Good value and great family fun.
It arrived quickly and was relatively easy to put together. The box is quite heavy when it arrives but the individual parts are quite manageable to assemble.
I like the idea that the height is adjustable as it can be used for the little ones as well as the adults.
A classic garden game for dry days and evenings. Can play alone or against another. one to keep about the house when you have children. Although this requires being staked into the ground there not a versatile or portable as the other version.
Adults have played, so far it’s withheld against their volleys.
I messaged this supplier with concerns about the product and within two days a replacement was sent, without question. Very impressed and very grateful. Excellent response and very impressed. Buy with confidence.
Delivery, packaging and packing all good. I took the box to my son’s house and he was able to assemble it without any problems in around 20 minutes. While not as sturdy as the one we had 40 years ago, it is fine for my granddaughters (primary school age) and they had great fun playing with it straight away.
Entire family enjoyed playing with it through out this summer. Value for money as it helped us engage some of our guests and their kids too when they visited us during summer holidays
Good swing ball – only problem I found – the piece to be hammered into ground wasn’t overly strong – and after a few hits with mallet – it started bending
Great fun for all the family as has been for many years, sturdy and easy to assemble.
Was disappointed there were no instructions after some trial and error got it working pretty quickly.
Every year we buy a new swing ball. Usually the one with the base that you fill with water. This year was the first time we went with the one you put in the ground and it has lasted so much longer and better! It’s sturdier, it doesn’t fly around as much and much better value for money. Hoping this will last until next year!
Great swingball. Glad you can still get the one that sticks in the ground as the other version wouldn’t last 2 minutes with my kids! Classic garden game that doesn’t involve going next door every 5 minutes to get your ball back!! Fab!
My partner and I are adults but we absolutely love our Swingball set. It’s really fun for a quick game in the garden (although a quick game usually turns into many competitive rounds…). Good quality and I love that the rackets hang onto the pole for easy storage. It is good for keeping outside in all weathers, too. Perfect for all ages!
It’s Swingball… not sure what else you need to know.
A tennis ball at the end of a string that is attached and spins round a central pole via being smacked with plastic rackets.
I’m sure you know the crack by now.
My only gripe is that I got the version with no base (due to the desire to play on grass / uneven garden ground) and you just sort of push the pole into the ground and that’s it. Which is easy and quick yes. However this makes for a not so sturdy outcome once the games start rolling and the pole inevitably wobbles under the strain. Especially in softer ground settings.
I wish they featured a simple screw in adapter that you could bore into the ground by hand to then snugly place the pole into. Similar to what rotary washing lines use.
Good family game. Just about robust enough for keenly competitive kids and ggrand adults. Would struggle with competitive adults.
But it does the job
Exactly like the one I used to have as a kid loads of fun to have with my son thank you
A little bit difficult for two 6 year olds together at first, but after playing with an adult they were able to get into a rhythm playing each other.
First time I have played this in years , nice and sturdy in the ground doesn’t move. Good fun and not a bad price . Recommended
Easy to set up and a good work out happy memories
Works well, our 6 year old grandaughter has great fun with this. However it could do with a steel tube that you insert in the lawn just below grass level as a permanent fixture. This would make setting up and taking down the swingball a lot easier.
Great product, good price, but didn’t expect this to come in plain cardboard rather than as pictured on Amazo
Great for the garden and the kids. Need a mallet to hammeer into the lawn. But once done you can remove when not used and put back in the hole when you want a game
Good value for money easy to put up, hours of fu
Very odd this didn’t come in the box as Advertised so would source elsewhere if is a gift but fine for what we need but should definitely be told won’t come in box show
Good fun for 2 or 1. Better than just sitting on computer exercise at chosen level to suite individuals.
Bought for my friends daughter as a birthday present. She loves i
Just like the original I played with ,
Sturdy metal pole, bats are are thick and quite heavy so not ideal for kids under 6yrs( there is junior swing ball version) this is for kids over 10yrs and adults.
This is the second one of these we’ve bought and we still love it. Brilliant fun for teens and adults. It’s nice to see that the new design is slightly taller. These last years and the first thing to go will be the ball but it does get the most hammer. We’ve replaced the ball ourselves a few times which was easy enough to do, but you can buy the replacement ball and string if yours is beyond repair.
I initially thought of buying the latest style of swingball, with the water filled base. However, after research from the Amazon reviews it became apparent that this wasn’t quite what I was after for my grandchildren. I opted for the original which you fix into the lawn. So glad I bought it, it’s brought lots of fun for all of us in the family. Highly recommend this version, and it doesn’t cost as much either!
Sturdy made of metal not plastic like a lot of things these days, grandchildren love it they’ve had hours of fun so far.
It’s great for the garden, me and my son enjoy playing with it. Easy to put together, no complaints!
It brought back good memories of having one when I was younge
Fun; easy to assemble; seems pretty sturdy.
Couple of comments:
1. Slightly surprised this came in an unbranded brown box. That suits us fine, but would have been disappointing if intended as gift.
2. When you reach top or bottom of the spiral the string loop comes off and just keeps spinning in place. You have to walk up to the pole and manually reset to start a new game. I imagine this is intentional design to make it clear a game has finished and there is a winner, but seems odd to me as when I have played these in the past you’ve been able to just bat it backwards and carry on if you want.
This so easy to assemble that my 10 year old grandchild did it without any help at all. We we had a great time together.it’s sturdy it’s made of metal and the bat holder is handy.
Not as good quality as the original swing ball but does the job
it was easy to assemble packed really well lots of fun and you can get really competitive ideal for children and teenagers for all year round burning of energy
Absolutely loved swingball as a kid, now a mature adult decided to get one. We have so much fun playing it and never laughed so much. It is exactly as described and can’t fault the item one bi
Present for granddaughter takes us back years. Still loads of fun.
We previously bought the one with a base didn’t last 2 weeks so we decided to buy this one which goes into the ground! So far it’s a winner. I’m hoping it lasts well.
Colourful and sturdy and fun for all the the family xx
Great for the grandchildren at home or when we are on holiday
Had a swing ball many years ago loads of fun and a good eye , hand coordination skill
Updated version of the classic Swingball that I used to have. Thoughtfully designed and easy to set up.
I would have given 5 stars however the box arrived in a but of a state Thank God the contents were all fine.Looks strong can’t wait to set it up .
well made unit which we have not used much in the short time we have had it. Only disappointment is that you have to manually move the string back to the centre of the spiral when you reach the top or bottom. I am sure our earlier version did not need that.
My children have had hours of fun, I would highly recommend this product.
Delivery was great and package arrived with no issues. Easy to assemble, well made, looks durable don’t envisage any problems. Been having hours of fun in the back garden, we have become very competitive. Nice workout, good for hand eye coordination. Good value for money.
Classic swing all made as it should be great product made for some hard hitting fu
Easy to put together, took a couple of minutes. Push into ground and away you go!!
