Pacific Sports Smashball Set

Verified Purchase
I don’t understand all the complaints about this product. It’s 10 bucks and it’s a great product for the price. So, it hasn’t been cut to precision roundness? Seriously??? My family and I went beach-camping in early July and my wife wanted this and I was concerned because of the negative reviews. Handles falling off, not water-proof, the paddles aren’t perfectly rounded, etc. I took a chance (a whopping $10 chance) and these were great! So, here’s the solution to the almost-valid complaints:
1. If the handles are loose (ours weren’t and still aren’t after two days at the beach and a lot of play), pry them off and gorilla-glue them.
2. Sand the edges of the handles so they match up with the plastic pieces. It’s easy to do and could be fun!
3. Spray the paddles with clear gloss lacquer spray paint. They’ll last for years and you might even enjoy customizing your $10 smashball paddles.If you’re looking at this, just go for it and enjoy yourself. Try not to take a $10 smashball game too seriously! 🙂

UNO Splash Card Game
Verified Purchase
We are again in the midst of an Uno craze at our house – I purchased a couple different sets of cards and this was one. I thought they would be perfect for my daughter to take to camp with her. They are thin and plastic, but seem to be sturdy enough – she thinks its cool that they can be on a hook and attached to her bag and they can play at the pool. Will update after we actually use them outside.
GoSports Slammo Game Set (Includes 3 Balls, Carrying Case and Rules)

After seeing the Spikeball game on Shark Tank I started to do research and came across SLAMMO. I read all the reviews and many customers loved SLAMMO, and being it was $20 cheaper than Spikeball I purchased it on Amazon. Amazingly it reached my door in about 30 hrs! The set is very easy to assemble, just make sure you hook on part of the net on each side first then go back and forth to finish. If you start on one side and work around you will not be able to attach the net completely. As for the game it is a lot of fun. I along with my kids, ages 17 through 11 all played and everyone loved it. This game is going to be a huge hit when we go to the beach this summer! I would definitely recommend the game to others. As for the drawbacks, there are some but very few and they do not distract from overall performance. First, I think there should be an extra hook on each ring for a total of 6 instead of 5, this would pull the net tighter and give it a better hold on the ring. I have found myself tightening the net a lot. Second I think the large ball is useless. It is really too big and too heavy to play the game efficiently, my youngest did just fine with the smaller ball so we will never use the large ball for this set, I’m sure the kids will find another use for it! Lastly one ball has a hole, it came partially deflated and I realized it had a hole after inflation, so now I only have one useful game ball. I will contact GoSports tomorrow and hopefully the will rectify the situation. I plan on getting an extra net and leg just in case of damage while on vacation because I know this game is definitely going to get heavy usage from the kids and ADULTS! UPDATE: E-mailed the company and they responded this morning, they are going to replace the ball immediately. Great customer service along with a fun game. Buy this product!!!! As a side note this review is 100% real I have NO affiliation with this company.
SandHole! Corn Hole for the Beach
Verified Purchase
Just brought this to the beach and had so much fun! Some folks next to us lugged their huge cornhole boards with them from home and were super jealous of how easy and transportable the game is. We had some tears in the seams of the bags, which slowly leaked, but nothing major. Great for any age group too.
Toy CubbyVelcro ball Paddle Catch and Toss Game Set- 7″ Handheld Stick Disc – 1 Set
By Lexi
I have two boys, ages 3 and 6 and they haven’t stopped playing with it since we got it! It is a great game for the two of them to play together without needing help from us. The paddles have an adjustable hand strap on back that will fit any hand size perfectly. The ball sticks to the velcro really well but is also easy enough for my youngest to take off himself. They’ve asked to play it every day when they get home from daycare/school. So much fun! Even my husband and I have enjoyed playing catch with them. Great product and a great price also! I received this product at a discounted rate for an honest and unbiased review.
GoSports Portable PVC Framed CornHole Game Set with 8 Bean Bags and Carrying Case
By tara musser
We absolutely love this set, it is perfect for our backyard bbqs and even great to take along tailgating at sporting events! I really like that this comes in a storage bag, the bag easily fits all of the pieces to the cornhole boards, as well as the bean bags, it also has convenient carrying handles. The cornhole boards require some assembly, they are very simple to put together and also stay together wonderfully, you just slip the PVC pieces in to each other and they stay securely in place, no hardware or tools necessary. The material that makes up the face of the boards is nice and sturdy, it does not stretch out or rip/tear with regular use, my three year old has been playing with this non stop for days and she is not easy on anything, the material has a nice thickness, it does cause a slight bounce affect to the bean bags, but I don’t think it effects your game play at all. There is one red board and one blue board. I like that the material can easily be cleaned with soapy water. These boards are nice and lightweight so moving or carrying them is very easy to do, they can be hung in a shed or taken apart and packed up in the storage bag after each use. This came with eight bean bags total, four red and four blue, the bean bags are well sewn and durable. I’m really pleased with this set, I love that it is easy to take along, sturdy, and well made. It is perfect for traveling and using on camping trips, at graduation parties, concerts, sporting events, anywhere really the possibilities are endless, this is much more convenient then your typical big bulky wooden cornhole sets! I recieved this product for free in return for my honest review.
Djubi Classic – the Coolest New Twist on the Game of Catch!
By kwaisun
I picked up the Djubi as a toy to leave in the van for those times when we are out at the park or go to a friends house and need to entertain the kids. Everyone LOVES this! I have 4 kids (11, 9, 7, 7) they all enjoy this along with their friends. The surprising thing is how many adults grab it and can’t put it down, my husband and I included. I was really surprised at how far you can launch the ball. The ball is foam so it doesn’t hurt too bad and doesn’t dent my van (which apparently my family thinks is a giant target). I picked up several extra balls but I haven’t had any break. I expect they will eventually because of the amount of use this thing gets. And like I said you can launch this thing so far it is unbelievable so the bands will eventually wear out. I can see rooftops being a bit of a problem that may require an extra ball or two also.

POOF Jarts Lawn Darts
By Ken Lorimer
I was a little anxious about purchasing these after enjoying the original Jarts for years. I purchased this product due to concerns of the children getting hurt by a thrown Jart. While I was confident the product would be safe I was anxious the product wouldn’t perform any where near as well as the original Jarts product. My anxiety was cleared away when they arrived and I found they performed well and gave the level of safety of using them while having back yard picnics. Of course for the “competitive” player this is a bit of a step down, but for the typical back yard picnic these are simply wonderful.
US Games Fun-Air Scoop Ball
By A reader
Verified Purchase
We really enjoyed playing with these. I am not terribly coordinated but even after a bit of practice I could do it too. I’d say it is easier than playing catch with traditional ball and glove. As I wrote that I felt a bit of a traitor–favoring petroleum based products (almost certainly imported but I haven’t verified that) to good old-fashioned baseball. Check out my reviews of apple pies and Chevrolet!
Aqua Leisure-Domestic Toys Hydro Disc Jam Game
Squap Paddles & Ball Outdoor and Beach Game by Simba – coolest new toy for Boys, Girls, Kids & Family
Let me just say that this game is an absolute blast and I strongly recommend it especially now that it’s summer. Squap arrives packaged in a nice box and is great for gifting. The set includes 2 paddles and 4 orange balls. The paddles each had a small slide locking mechanism on the top side of the paddle which is great for storing the game. Each paddle has slots where 2 balls can be stored in each while not using. The paddles have special grooved spots for finger and thumb placement. There are also velcro straps to help hold your fingers in place.Squap is very easy game concept and great for all ages. It does take a few tries to learn how to catch the ball but launching it in the air is pretty easy. I have a 7, 5, and 3 year old who all love to play this game. The spent hours playing after we opened it. This game is great because you can play with a partner or alone which is just as fun. Since the set is compact it makes is great for taking on trip, to picnics, or wherever else.I received this product at a discount in exchange for my 100% honest and unbiased review. All opinions are solely my own and based on my own personal experience with the product.
