Review on ๐ŸŽฏ Franklin Sports Ladder Ball Set - 2 Targets with Weighted Bases and 6 Bolas - Ladder Golf Toss Outdoor Game for Beach or Backyard Fun - Professional, American, and Family Set Options by Kyle Robinson

But it is metal. fits ladder ball

I bought the Professional model because plastic kits always crack and break. This one is made of steel. The first time I tried to assemble it I couldn't, the parts were too tight to fit even with my full body weight, the problem was the seams/welds on the pipe. The welding that holds the bagpipes together is of course very crude at beginner level. After putting the kit together my niece and I played a game or two. The metal tubes bend very easily. Since then I've been looking for a replacement for the rubber ball. Then I disassembled the kit and sanded down the metal seams on the tubes to fit without a gym membership or hammer. It helped a bunch. I'm still looking for rubber golf balls to avoid denting on set. I personally thought it was a good idea but after opening it and using it for 4 games I regretted my purchase. Perhaps Franklin can revise this setup and provide me with a new version without errors. It's still fun to play, but it's depressing to know that after a year or more of playing, you'll end up with a crumpled rig. Avoid metal kids and get a plastic kit, at least one to replace the plastic parts with.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Minor issues
