Review on πŸ” Discover the Ultimate Tachikara STBR Rubber Tetherball for Endless Fun! by Ryan Brunson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not quite up to the task. A matter of durability under pressure

This cable hasn't held up like some others in the past. Two caveats. First, my family doesn't clean the ball after use as recommended, and the Texas summer sun is unmerciful. We hardly walk past this thing (it's between the door and the car) without stopping to play a quick impromptu game. There's no time to put the ball down or get it out of a musty closet. Other balloons withstood this procedure for several months, but this one turned white in the top half and lost air after a month. Second caveat: My teens (and I) take our frustrations out on these unfortunate rich people. We don't have room for a punching bag, so this thing gets roundhouse kicks and punches and runs around the bar like a scared cat. Everyone has learned to duck and hide as well as Ali does when he rushes by. This ball was a lot harder and harder on the knuckles than the previous ones, but as said, it lost air after a short period of this violence. I don't think rope has any UV protection either. It just went bad and withered in the Texas sun. Well, if you're gentler with your balls, play well, and bring them inside after every game, then this ball can serve you well. Given the terrible circumstances, I give 3 stars.
