I would not recommend this product. I’m really disappointed because I grew up playing this game in my neighbors yard and have been searching for over 20 years to find one with a tennis ball but all I’ve ever been able to find is with a volleyball, so I was very excited to find this.  I see a lot of reviews complaining about the ball splitting open after just one use.  I can’t speak to that because we haven’t used ours yet because we can’t figure out how to put it together!  The pieces of the pole seem like they should just fit into each other but there’s only. Hole on one side of each piece!  The other side is plugged with a Ola Ric cap so you can fit anything into it.  Also the pole is plastic not. Nice metal pole.  Very disappointed
