Tether Tennis
Remember Zimm Zamm
from the 1970s - 1980s. It was a favorite game of my family when I was a
child. This game is not made by Mattel like the
original, but plays the same way. It is a great game and I hope you will enjoy
it. You can purchase these directly from this web page just select the buy
it now option below. I also have replacement balls and other parts that
can be used with this game set or to replace parts for the original game.

Brand New
Whack the tennis ball to wind the cord completely up the metal
coil to win a match. A high-quality version of this 1970s
classic, with a two-piece easy-to-set-up steel pole, is completely portable
(comes with its own easy-to-carry travel case)—take it to the beach, a
barbecue, or anywhere you plan to have outdoor fun, even your own backyard.
For 1-2 players. Comes with game rules and instructions. This game
stands just under 5 ft tall when inserted in the ground..

New Deluxe Game
This is the same great game as above except it includes an extra
length of pole which makes the game over 6 ft tall when inserted in the

original height and the 6 ft + height. Perfect for everyone in the
family. This set also includes 2 replacement balls instead of the
one replacement ball included with the standard set.

used with many different brands, including the original Zimm Zamm. It is a
heavy duty ball and will last much longer than the ball included from the
manufacturer.

Ball Swivel

The original Zimm Zamm sets had a swivel built into the ball that kept the
string from twisting as the ball was spun. This prevented the string from
knotting up as the game was played. The sportcraft version of the game
uses a swivel at the end of string where it connects to the pole. If you
are purchasing these balls to use with an original Zimm Zamm game you will want
to purchase a swivel. You may also need to replace the one which came with
your set if it is lost or damaged. I have looked for swivels in my local
hardware stores that would work with this game. However, I have not been
able to find the correct size. They are either to large and heavy,
preventing the ball from turning on the pole correctly, or they are to small.
These swivels are supplied from sportcraft and are the correct size and weight
for the sets.
Price per ball swivel is $4.00.
Postage included.

These replacement paddles are made from heavy duty plastic and are almost
indestructible. They can be used with the original Zimm Zamm game or with
any other Tether Tennis set.

Price for two paddles is $15.00 + $5.50 Postage = Total
