Swingball Tournament

This item looks like a toddler toy. The plastic base is very thin and flimsy. We have tried to play a few times and the pole constantly comes dislodged and leans to the side. Have to take it apart and fix it but it happens again and again.

I bought this so that my family and I could have something active to do outside while social distancing ourselves and no where to go. The kids that have played with it so far are 7 and 9. They haven't gotten the hang of it yet so aren't hitting the ball as hard as the kids in the video and it will not stay upright through out a whole game. The enjoy themselves when they play but I'm not sure how long this will hold their attention span considering it falls over. It was over priced for what it actually is.

The grandkids enjoyed playing with this but as anticipated, being only plastic, it became very unstable with any forceful hits as the plastic pole would dislodge on the hole in the bottom of the base, especially for the older kids and adults. Be sure kids stand a safe distance from the swing of the ball, we had a few close ones where a few of us nearly got hit in the face or head. Interested to find a sturdier and stronger pole/base for a permanent arrangement.

I think the design is great, everything can come apart and fit inside the "box" including the paddles. You can set it up in a minute. Fill the box, which becomes the foundation, with sand or water to give it some weight. BUT getting the pole to stick in through the box was troublesome, Probably imperfect plastic shape and then when I did have it setup. It didn't hold for very long. The pole was able to bend the foundation it went into and it never recovered. Either the box need to be sturdier or it needs like one piece of metal where the pole anchors into and maybe a metal ring it goes through at the top.

Good exercise in a small space! I' m. 72 years old and I play with my grandson. Good for both of us. If only it weren't so everloving hot in Cali.! Play evenings.

Awesome game. Bought for Easter. Adults liked it more than kids but that was because kids are quitters and so we adults dominated. Haha- seriously. Fun. Ordering my MIL one for her and grandpa to practice their tennis strokes at home.

Got this for my baseball/softball playing granddaughter (age 7). Batting balls in my small back yard usually ended with the balls going over the fence, caught in the gutters on the roof or in my small pond, not anymore. She can play it by herself or with a friend. Even I have played with her and I have no sporting ability. We have had loads of fun making up our own rules or no rules at all. So glad we got this!

This thing wobbles way too much to even get a game in. I even tried putting the pole directly into the ground 7" deep and it still wobbled. Probably needs concrete but pretty sure the ones we had growing up didnt :s one to avoid
