Many of us have grown up with Swingball, and my brother and I have enjoyed playing it for years. My 7 year old son has been having tennis lessons at the local club, and one of the things they always put out for the kids at weekends are swingball sets. However, whereas the older style swingball sets were ones you could drive into the ground and have this as the support to stop it going over, whereas the more modern ones are lighter, made of plastic as opposed to the metal frame I'm used to, and rely on a base unit that you fill with water or sand to provide the base support. It's colourful and appealing, with a green and yellow combination very much fitting in ...  Read the complete review

Swing ball We have recently moved from a tiny flat in the city to a house in the country with a lovely big garden and I have been buying a few outdoor toys lately to occupy our friends and families children. We recently had a big BBQ party come house warming not that long ago and I wanted to spend a moderate amount of money on toys that would suit boys and girls and last for quite a few years. I discovered much to my glee that there are quite a few retro toys available that I used to love playing with when I was younger. --How to play-- I first played swing ball years ago when I was on a family holiday, I remember my dad erecting it in ...  Read the complete review

Me and my boyfriend were enjoying the sunshine in the garden a few weeks ago, and we always get bored sat there all day reading or just sunbathing. We decided to buy a swingball set, as we used to have one years a go which we used to take camping with us, and we loved playing with it! I ordered this mookie swingball set on amazon, and it was around £20.00. Swingball is a great game for people of all ages to play. We are in our early twenties and we love playing it!

In my family, we have had a great many outdoor toys over the years, but our swingball set has always been our favourite. The concept of swingball is that there is a pole which you push into the ground with a coil on the top. Attached the the coil is a long piece of string with a tennis ball attached.

The first player to do this wins the game. A simple concept, the game is a very fun one and one which can ...  Read the complete review

This is a toy and a half. You need to be fit and know how to move very fast. It can work out a dangerous toy for any age group. This is a ball that is attached to a piece of string that is attached to a coil on the top of a pole which is stuck deep into the ground so that it can stand up. It comes with two bats so you can have two players. The idea of the game it that one person will hit the ball to make it spin round the coil and the person who is standing on the other side will attemo pt to hit it back the other way to make it go round the coil the opposite way to the other person and so on and so forth. If the ball goes all the way down ...  Read the complete review
