(More customer reviews)Horrible product. I bought two of these for my 8 year old daughter, who had asked Santa for one to replace her lost one (from a different manufacturer, purchased elsewhere). When she tried to bounce it, she noted that the elastic string was "really long". The strings are about four feet long (much longer than depicted in photos), making it nearly impossible to use as an indoor toy, since it stretches beyond four feet with the elastic.
She tried to bounce it lightly, as to not make use of the string. After a few (less than five) bounces, the string detached from the rubber ball.
I noted that we must have gotten a dud, thanking my lucky stars that I'd had the foresight to purchase a backup paddle, and she started playing with the second one.
This time I counted. Five light bounces later, the string came detached from the ball.
There is no way to fix this, since the string is inserted into a tiny pinhole into the rubber ball.
I DO NOT recommend this toy. I understand children break toys, but I expect a toy's durability to hold up beyond a minute of playtime.

Go back in toy history through the wooden bounce-back paddle ball! A classic toy that will provide hours of fun for both children and adults. The goal is to try and hit the ball in the bull's eye painted onto the wooden paddle. Looks easier than it is! Have a contest with your kids to see who can make it hit the bull's eye the most times in a row, or even try and break the world record!Paddle is 11in (27.9cm) long. Recommended for ages 5 and older.
