Manufacturer's Description
The Good Toy Awards Winner, 2003, this design has much in common with the Super Swingball but with the added advantage of the all surface base.
The base is filled with water or sand, or another available ballast to anchor the pole during play and afterwards transforms into a sturdy carry case for maximum convenience.
All the components fit easily into the base, you really can take and use this Swingball set anywhere, even indoors.
All surface means it can stand on just about anything except water and thin air, but who would want to when you can have this much fun on dry land?
All surface Swingball is a high-energy game that will keep you on your toes wherever you choose to play it. Exciting, tough and versatile, looks like it's game, set and match to Swingball.

SO0o0o0o Much FUN!
I was worried about purchasing this Swingball, as it only shows kids in the picture...and I am 5'7". I imagined myself having to bend in half to hit the ball...but no! It comes with extra poles to make the height as tall as you want...and was even great for my 6'4" partner.
I filled it with water, and it stayed put however hard we hit the ball.
Not only did we have a great time with it, the dogs also thought it was amazing and tried to join in.
One question...what happens when/if you break the tennis ball? The ball already attached is specially made. That needs looking into.
I'd give it a 9/10 for fun factor and a 10/10 for durability.
Swing ball fun and energetic
A great toy bought for my kids. Aged 9 and 6 they both love it. They like to play against each other against their parents, grandparents friends anyone really.
We played for a while and then the pole started falling at an angle but it is just the pole coming out of hole in bottom of the base. Simply push back in. Easy! We have the base filled with water in milk containers as we have it indoors at the moment until weather better.
All-surface base NOT an advantage
The write-up above mentions the 'advantage' of the sand / water filled base, but for us it has just become an annoyance.
The metal pole repreatedly slips out of its mountnig point in the plastic base - causing the pole to lean at 45 degrees - usually midgame - and bringing it to a premature end.
I'm wondering why I just didn't buy a traditional 'stake it into the grass' model.
If you do not have a lawn then it's inevitable you'll prefer this model - but be prepared for some frustration or self-administered modifcation to how it is assembled.
