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.

For 1-2 players. Comes with game rules and instructions. This game stands 5 ft tall when inserted in the ground..

Indoor/Outdoor Tether Tennis Set
This version of the game is the same as the regular set except that it comes with a base that you fill with sand or water. It is heavy enough to hold the game in place, but also is very portable. It is also 5 ft tall and has the same type of ball and paddles. The base provides the opportunity to use it in a gym or large room and also to use it where the ground is to hard to insert the pole in the earth.
Price per set is $32.00 + $13.00 Postage = Total $45.00 (Continental US only)
New Deluxe Game (Very Limited Supply)
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 ground. Easy assembly allows the game to adjust between the original height and the 6 ft + height. Perfect for everyone in the family.
Price per ball is $57.00 + $13.00 Postage = Total $70.00 (Continental US only)
Purchase a deluxe set and add an extra pair of paddles for only $5.00.
With the extra height and longer circumference of the deluxe set it makes a four
player game a fun option. Note: These paddles are from a
different version of Tether Tennis and will be a different color and slightly
smaller paddle.
Extra replacement balls.
This is a tennis ball on a string designed for tether tennis sets, and can be 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. Note: These balls to not have a built in swivel, you will want a swivel if your version of the game did not come with a swivel connected to the pole.
Price per ball is $6.00 + $2.50 Postage = Total $8.50 (Continental US only)
Price for 3 balls is $16.00 + $4.50 Postage = Total $20.50 (Continental US only)
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. Many newer versions of the game, including the sportcraft and Champion Sports version of the game, use 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 or the version I sell above, 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 $4.50. Postage included. (Continental US only)
Replacement Paddles.
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. Note: These paddles are from a different version of Tether Tennis and will be a different color and slightly smaller paddle.
Price per paddle is $6.00 + $3.75 Postage = Total 9.75 (Continental US only)
Price for two paddles is $11.00 + $4.25 Postage = Total $15.25 (Continental US only)
