 Great toy, for what it is! July 26, 2008
K. Evangelista (Batavia, IL USA)
My 4 yr old and my 2 year old love this toy! We've been using it frequently for about 4 months now and every portion of this stand and arm has been hit numerous times (hard) and it is still going strong! True, the arm has been hit off (it snaps back on without a problem) and sometimes the ball attaches to the arm and is difficult to hit off (then I just remove the ball by hand and re-attach it with a lighter touch), but overall this is great. I would buy this again and I would buy this as a gift for kids ages 2-5. At this point, ours is out of commission due to the fact that the three balls it came with have been lost (not destroyed). My kids are looking forward to when the replacement balls arrive in the mail so they can "Batter up!"
This toy ROCKS! June 29, 2008

This toy is worth every penny. It is hours of enjoyment for all ages. Better batter baseball is durable and works as advertised.
 Not worth the money, dont know how this got by QA testing June 25, 2008
M. Fitzpatrick (Waukesha, WI United States)
I was very excited to buy this for my 4 year old son since he is in a t-ball league. We put it together, took it outside and started to play with it. After two swings from him and the velco ball that holds the baseball broke into two pieces. This is exactly what happened to another person that wrote on this product in these reviews. I normally do not write reviews but I was so upset with my sons disapointment to this awful product that I wanted to make sure no one else buys it. I am returning tomorrow and am rethinking about buying anything from this toy maker again due to this quality issue. Just plain horrible...I think I could make a more durable product out of grey tape, some sticks, a baseball and a tape recorder.
Just too hard to hit the ball off the tether June 24, 2008
Lynn M. Hamsen (Illinois)
My two grandchildren ages 5 and 4 years really liked the sounds effects from this toy but it was just too hard to hit the ball off of the tether. More often they hit other parts and often the plastic tether would come loose and fall to the ground. They did not balk when I said I was returning it. Who approved this toy for the market?
Great TOY!!!! June 12, 2008

This toy is doing great for us and both of my sons LOVE it! They love the sounds and getting to have it load a ball for you they think that is awesome. Well I have a 18 mos old and a 4 year old and they have missed the ball numerous times (especially my 18 mos old) he hits the whole entire toy every inch I would say has been hit and we have had it indoors and brought outside in use, and had it for about 2 mos and has been a great toy for us!
