Does not work at all. We purchased as a fun game to use around the pool. if the paddles get wet they don't work at all. Definitely not a good choice. The ball barely bounces. Unfortunately, only used once.Cute toy for pool. Ball smaller than I thpughtpretty flimsyDon’t waste your time or money. The paddles don’t have the proper material. It is impossible to use.The Franklin Sports Aquatic paddleboard set does work when wet, a plus where I live, which is more or less the rainforest, but I have a couple of issues.. One may or may not effect a lot of people and the other surely will. The ball is fairly small, in my situation, a choking hazard for my dog., who is there whether we are playing out in our back yard or at the beach. While has has not actually swallowed it, yet... he has made a pretty good go of it..The other issue kind of goes with the first. There is only one ball. How big an issue that is depends on where you play. The beaches here are on the pacific. If it lands in the water there is a 99% chance that it is gone. That said we have to be cautious when we play. At the beach we have twin hazards. In the yard it is just the dog.The material it is covered in means the paddles do not respond quite the same way and also feel like they will get shabby pretty quickly (though I have not had it long yet). I can update the review over time to report on how they hold up. It is still early in the season, so after a coupole of uses it is just a concern. I guess the real question is which goes first, the ball or one of the paddles?Designed to be played in the water, but can be used on land as well. You get two paddles and one ball. The ball is quite light, think more like a ping pong ball (and about the same size). You bounce the ball back and forth, which can lead to a lot of fun diving for it and other tricks trying to hit it back. Wish it can with more than one ball.Got these for pool fun. They are lightweight, even when wet, making it easy to volley without wearing out your arm. I'm not sure they will last an entire season, but with proper care (rinsing in fresh water, storing in shade), they may live to see another summer. Recommended, with some reservation.This is a great game for the pool (it would be a bit harder to play outside the pool). The paddles are about 8 inches and the entire thing is made of cloth which dries pretty quickly once outside of the pool. The game is very similar to ping pong (with the ball about the same size) and is lots of fun and easy to pick up once in the pool My daughter and I loved playing this game in the pool, and with summer coming up I'm sure that we will be playing this a lot over the next few months.The ball and set is quite light so it can be difficult in the wind, but normally when we are in the pool the wind is not that bad so it was always fun to play. We have a couple of games like this for pool play and we are always using them so it is a lot of fun. I recommend this product for anyone who spends a good bit of time in the pool (like I do), always adds some excitement.
