    Swingball For Jacks birthday this year I wanted to steer away from getting him a ton more Lego and inside games. Seeing as his birthday is at the end of June it seemed a far better time than Christmas to get him a lot of games for our new garden. This Swingball was one of a few outdoor games that Jack's Nana bought for him and it is certainly one of his most used games since his birthday. There was a few types of the Swingball to choose from and Jacks Nana phoned me up from the toy shop to see which one I thought best. There is a My First Swingball set which I believe just has a lighter foam ... more

    Advantages Advantages Good old fashioned fun

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None

    Our old house had a long and narrow garden, which meant that Swingball wasn’t an option for us as it simply wasn’t wide enough, however, we moved in the summer and now have a much larger garden and one of the first things that I did was to purchase a Swingball for my two sons, just because I could and now we play with wild abandon having been restricted for so long! I cannot imagine that there are many people who have never played/heard of Swingball. It is a classic garden game that has been around since the late seventies and has changed very little in its time. Quite basically it is a tennis ... more

    Advantages Advantages great fun,

    Disadvantages Disadvantages possible risk of a smack in the face!

    As far back as I can really remember we always seem to have had a swingball set in the family which we used to take with us on our holidays. Over the years it certainly had a great deal of use before the time came when it really was time to throw it out. With the warm weather we have recently been having I decided that I should buy some toys that my daughter could play outside with other than her slide and sand pit. The first thing I thought of was a swingball set so off we went to Argos! The swingball set comes in a large box and you are required to put it together when you are ready to use ... more

    Advantages Advantages Can be Played Individually as well as in Pairs

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Really quite Boring & the Pole keep moving out of the Ground

    I bought this for the garden at my mum's house about a year ago as we were planning a BBQ where a lot of the kids in the family were going to be attending so we wanted gamese etc. to keep them amused. I remember playing with a similar garden toy when I was a child and finding it mildly enjoyable which is why I opted for a Mookie Swingball toy. I bought it online for £19.99 which wasn't exactly what I would call cheap so I expected this toy to be very good quality and I hoped it would grab the attention of the kids when they came over. The toy consists of a long blue pole which you stand in the ... more

    About:We had this classic swingball many years ago, it was one of the only games me and my sister played together. We would play it every summer day in, day out. This was until we had the whole garden changed into a patio and were no longer able to use it. The all surface swingball has since been brought out.Set-Up:It is decent to set up if you have grass and soil outside. It was hard for me as a child to set up as the 3 poles you stack up together to make it into one long pole in the end was too tall for me but back then I had my parents sort it. The only other thing to do was use the bottom ... more

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Prefer to have a base

    You can get a basic swingball set on Amazon for £15.97 and it is made by Mookie. Once set up it is 1.6m in height so is ideal for children and adults alioke although this particular model is mainly aimed at children, it is not the sort of design for aduklts who want to smash lumps out of the ball. Included in the set are two plastic bats that are quite chunky and when you hit the ball it has a solid sort of whacking sound to it. It is suitable for children from five and up I reckon although the box says it is suitable for those who are younger, I'm not so convinced that it is suitable for ... more
