The 5 Best Tetherball strings (2023 reviews)

The latest tachikara tetherball string is an absolute beast in terms of its features, and rightfully takes the top spot with ease. If you are of a more tender sort with your tetherballs, play nice, and bring them inside after each game, then this ball may serve you well. This is a great tetherball, it doesn’t deflate and has a soft cushioned outside that is great for the smaller kids to hit. The softness of the rubber seems just right, looks and feels like high quality, and is durably constructed.

The tetherball comes pre-inflated (this is a good thing), and the string is tied to it, but there is no pole. The ball is soft enough for little hands. The cord it comes with is very sturdy as well to withstand being bitten by a horse and not fraying at all.

Why We Like This:

Well made, soft and solid rope
Awesome ball highly recommended for humans and animals
Good investment for long term

Best For adult: Lifetime Tetherball string

Buy on Amazon

The lifetime tetherball string is suitable and reliable and fits well with your daily usage. This tether ball is fun and a great workout. It takes a long time to fill the base with sand. The object is to hit the ball towards but past your opponent and continue until the ball/rope are wrapped around the pole. It's very heavy when filled with water so it is stable but can still be moved by rolling the round base to the desired location. It comes in three pieces that you fit together.

The base has two outlets to drain the water at the top. The ball does not hit the dogs even if they are directly underneath the court. It does not lean, and the swaying is subtle and doesn't affect gameplay.

Why We Like This:

Very sturdy holds up to the punches
Easy to assemble and fun to play
New and hot release
