3 out of 5 stars tennis gift   December 31, 2007
This is a great way to keep a 7yr old busy in the driveway on a sunny day. My girls, 7 & 3 have figured out how to play together. No more climbing under the house for the ball!


1 out of 5 stars SKLZ PowerBase Tennis Trainer   September 24, 2007
Purchasing experience is great overall. But I wouldn't recommend this product because it's not working for me. The ball just doesn't bounce back. So frustrating. Rather find a wall to hit the ball against.


4 out of 5 stars The best dog toy there is!   September 11, 2007

This is a fun, fun way for both you and your high strung dog to get exercise at the same time. I hit it, he chases it, spins around, and barks like a maniac. Occasionally, I let him "win" by hitting one at him soft and low.

In terms of a tennis TRAINER, I would say that's where this product fails. Unless you're really concentrating, its really easy to break proper form for the sake of getting to the ball. As someone who can hit a ton, it's hard to gauge how far and how hard you are hitting the ball when it keeps coming back to you.

In terms of quality, the base has a nice heft that won't move no matter how hard you hit the ball, the rubber string is strong and well-made, and and the fact that this comes with an extra ball is a plus.

One thing: Why doesn't Amazon offer replacement balls? If you play with this a lot, you go through balls pretty quickly. Two doesn't cut it!
