Editorial Review:

Product 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 can be filled with water or sand to anchor the pole during play and afterwards transforms into a sturdy carry case for maximum convenience. All Surface Swingball is 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 All Surface Swingball!




Rating: - Not suitable for adults
The "all-surface" swingball has proved a great hit with our 5 year old, who'll play for hours, but is not up to adult use. Ours does not have the extra poles mentioned by a previous reviewer and is too low down even for me at 5' 4". Also it doesn't take much of a whack before it tips over even with the base filled to the brim with water. Ours does not have the pole coming out of the base - the whole thing goes. The ball attachment is not up to the standards of the 1980s one I remember as a child ... Read More

Rating: - Not durable
This toy looks good the way it's packaged as a 'carry anywhere' toy. We were looking forward to playing it in the garden, at the beach, camping etc.
BUT....the thing can not stand up! A couple of not even very hard whacks and the pole dislodges from it's holder in the stand and falls over.
I didn't buy this from Amazon, but I'm taking it back to the 'never knowingly undersold' retailer and asking for my money back.

Rating: - 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.

Rating: - Falling apart
This is advertised as suitable for children and adults and that the ball can be hit strongly. However, we found the pole kept coming out of the slot every few (not particularly hard) hits making a proper game impossible. It was also a nuisance having to fill up the base with sand or water and clean it out after. The carrying case is a good idea, but the lack of stability made the game frustrating for everyone. I sent mine back for a refund as not fit for the purpose and will try the stake in ... Read More

Rating: - 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 ... Read More
