Selected User Reviews For Franklin Sports 8.5" Rubber Tetherball
I have had teatherballs in the past and have never encountered this problem. Usually, they are made of string and last for a few years. It was just ripped out, as you can see. Despite being brand new, the ball is still in its original packaging.
There is a great deal to dislike about My initial impression of it was that it was well built, however, the rope it uses did not suit me. Although the rope is the same length as the old one, it has a stiffness that means it gets about half as many winds around the pole as the old one. The length of games is much shorter, but it is a big deal nonetheless. Having sat out in the sun for 8 months, the ball is sun bleached and is full of cracks everywhere. A great deal of the air has been sucked out of it as well. It is clear that the rubber it is made of is not UV-resistant, which is surprising considering these are typically tied to a pole and left out in the sunshine.
I was able to deliver on time. This ball was attached by a rope with an unsatisfying result. This game lasted 1 hour and 5 minutes. Every time a game is played, it has to be reconnected. There is a loss of interest among kids.
It was initially liked by me, and the kids enjoy it as well. It was kind of annoying that the rope attachment broke off so quickly after being used for a month. The durability was not what I was expecting, and I would not recommend it.
It turned white within 2 months after it was purchased. While playing, the dried white paint is like a powder that you pick up on your hands. There's no one who wants to play anymore. Spending money on something that is a waste. Although it was an old tetherball, it still worked well over 10 years ago.
I have found that the ball itself has stood up very well, but I can't say the same for the rope that is included. As the rope has broken off so many times, I have been forced to use my creativity to reattach Additionally, this particular product did not come with the hook that is required to attach it to a The purchase of those items had to be made separately. My hope is that the manufacturer will send more rope that lasts longer than the 2 months they have been used for. Each of my two purchased items has broken more than once.
It broke down within a few weeks after being exposed to the sun. I am very disappointed. If you touch it your hands get coated in a white film, and when you put it down, it also breaks down. A name-brand product would have been expected to be better!.
There is no tying of the string Frequently, it comes off to the point where we have to buy additional hardware to fix.
