Champion Sports SBSET Swing Ball Set, Price/set

Since this was a gift and I have not heard from the recipient or her parents, I can only express that the packaging was intact and all looked in order. It arrived on time for Christmas for my seven-year-old godchild, and that was good enough for me. She asked for this, and I'm sure she was pleased.

I purchased these for the kids to use on the playground at the Elementary school where I work. Other brands I had purchased broke quickly. These only cost a tiny more but have lasted nicely through 6 weeks of use by 1st through 6th graders, and will go back with me when school starts in August. (I kept one for my own use as an exercise tool.) I also think the rainbow of colors makes them very fun.

I bought this set in order to vary my exercise routines. I loved the old Skip-It, and I figured that this wouldn't be too different from it. I was a little wary of buying it at first, because some of the reviews were not very good, but I have had a very positive experience with this product. So far, I have used only three of the six skippers in the set, and they have all held up just fine(even when I have accidently "skipped" the ball into my solid oak coffee table). They are also great for travel--I took one with me during a recent vacation to squeeze in some quick workouts in my hotel room. My only complaint (and the reason I gave it four stars)is that they are a little difficult to get started, especially if you are used to the Skip-It, which was a ball connected to a hard plastic rod. However, if you are patient, you'll figure it out in no time.

This was exactly what I was looking for! Such a huge hit! None are broken, and I have a rainbow of colors! yay!

This set is great! I searched and searched for a "skip ball" that wasn't too heavy. My 8-yr old daughter had one that broke within 15 mins of figuring out how to use it because the woven ball was too heavy and it flew right off. These are more like wiffle balls, so they are a good weight. The price/value is great, too. I figured even if one broke, we would have 5 more. As it turns out, friends love to join in! Even my 5-yr old can do it! This would be a good set for schools for P.E. class.

I bought this set knowing the durability of the product was low. It was only about $2 a swing ball so you can't really expect much out of them. It's no where near the quality of a real skip-it but it served it purpose for the weekend party I bought it for. And surprisingly none have broken yet.
