Swingball Reviews

My cousin has this game in her back garden and it basically consists of a metal pole with a ball attached to a string.

The up sides to this game is that ...  Read the complete review

The basic premise is simple - Swingball is a tennis ball on a string that moves up and down a spiral to determine the winner (being the person who gets it to the top or bottom depending on which hand they're hitting with).

Swingball is a great fun game with a lot of versatility. First off, this is a good game because you can play it with one or two players. If you're on your own you can still play, taking it in turns to practice your backstroke and forehand. However, if you've got someone to play with it takes on a whole new level of fun as you get ...  Read the complete review

In between the showers today it was a sunny day so my 9 year old grandaughter pulled the Swingball set out of the shed. I brought it in the sales just before Christmas so this is the first time it has been used. The set is packed into the blue box that will eventually become the base of the Swingball.

We initially bought this set a couple of years ago. The previous reviewer has not mentioned that in order for the base to remain stable during vigorous play by older children, we have had to fill it with concrete. It rocked around wildly and the game was unplayable even when filled with damp sand or water. Also we have got through ...  Read the complete review

This is where Swingball comes into it's own. It is a game that can be played with great enjoyment on your own just as much as with other players. So this made an ideal ...  Read the complete review

I was a teenager when swingball first come out, and since then there have been many imitations, but the original swingball has been all conquering. However, in the 20 years (is it really that long), since it first appeared the swingball has undergone something of a makeover, and has spawned a few new varieties, including the one I'm going to tell ...  Read the complete review
