Great for the price!

I ordered this because my boyfriend and I had a lot of fun playing tetherball at a corn maze and pumpkin patch once. It was pretty much just a solid, sturdy metal pole in the ground - as genuine as tetherball can get. For some reason, these more sturdy, permanent versions of tetherball are very hard to find at a reasonable price (Playground ones, which are basically one big rod that you have to cement into the ground, are 300 - 600$ on other sites). I settled on this one, and I think it ended up being perfect for my needs. Pros: - VERY easy to assemble and disassemble. Comes with a nice carrying case, so you can take it to a park or your parents' house for Thanksgiving. - It wobbles a little, but well within reason ESPECIALLY comparing it to the water-based ones or ones with only one spike. If you don't want it to wobble at all, then you'll probably be looking at the 300$+ playground-grade permanent ones. - Your high-energy dog could love to play with it! Mine's a little too timid. - Based on other reviews, the company will replace the ball if it breaks! Cons: - I'm afraid to leave it out when it will rain or snow. It is very easy to take it down, but if you may not get to it or forget, then the parts may suffer. - I assume reckless energetic kids will destroy it relatively easy, but it's holding up just fine for two 22-year-olds. - Though it is good for the price, and the material is metal rather than cheap plastic, it doesn't feel as satisfying as a big solid pole on a playground.

Broken within minutes.

When we received this item I wanted to return it based on the quality alone, but I let myself be convinced that we should give it a try. Within minutes the ball flew off the tether (whacked by a 5 year old) and one of the support braces was bent. Definitely do not recommend.
