Ok, so I purchased this and took it out of the box today so I could set it up as a Santa gift for my son; however, there was NO BALL inside the box! After a rush job to Sport Chalet (which we were trying to avoid by ordering early from Amazon.com), and after much frustration, the situation has been corrected......but I'm still out more money.
Others have commented that there was no ball with their set either....what's the problem here??!

Overall it is not a bad product. The only fault I have with it is the plastic sleeve they send to insert the metal pole into, did not fit. I could only push it in half way, putting more concret in the hole seems to fix the problem. Other than that it works fine.Customer Review: Stinker - I want a refund.

This is a rip-off, piece of junk. And becuase I didn't get a chance to try to install this within the 30 days (my son received it as a gift while we were away), now I can't return it!! The pole is two pieces that don't fit well together, so its wobbly and unstable, plus the pole is smaller than the sleeve so that increases the wobble of the pole - it's impossible to assemble this perpendicular to the ground. Plus the people at Park & Sun need to bone up on their math skills...The poles together are 11 ft. The sleeve is only about 10 inches. If you assemble according to directions, you have 10'2" of pole height (with only 10" in the ground, that's not very stable). Regulation tetherball is supposed to be 9 ft. - it says so right in the directions. They need to improve their quality control (make pieces that really fit together) and write better directions. The quality of the rope is very poor too -- it was already frayed coming out of the box. If you go as far as buying it, keep the package, becuase without it you can't return it and you're going to want to return it.Customer Review: Make your own! It's cheaper and better quality!

I was concerned about the pole being assembled from two pieces, and that was exactly what was wrong with it. Once assembled, the pole was extremely wobbly since (1) the ground sleeve was too short to keep the lower pole piece firmly in place, and (2) the top pole section, once inserted into the bottom, is very unstable. Better solution is to just go to your local fence supplier and buy an 11 foot section of 1 5/8 inch or 1 3/4 inch fence post and matching ground sleeve (min 12 inches, or longer - just make sure to extend the pole length to accomodate the longer ground sleeve). Then just buy the rope and ball set. My local fence co charged $25, and that included a cap and eye ring at one end so I could connect a teatherball rope. FYI, I tried to contact Park and Sun for their feedback about my comments and they never bothered to reply. Don't waste your money.
