They were a hit!

August 30, 2024 - By Roger Lawsonfrom Brimfield, IL

I brought these comet balls to a large family gathering and they were a huge hit! Everyone from 2 years old to adults enjoyed playing with them in the large back yard. I was very impressed with the quality of these balls. They were played with a lot and they were in perfect shape at the end of the day. The ball is a good weight for throwing and the colors are just beautiful and vibrant. I highly recommend this product.

Yes, I would recommend this product.

So Much Fun!!!

April 01, 2023 - By PC in Surf Cityfrom Huntington Beach, CA

These are great for any age! Easy to throw and catch, they can soar high and far, and look so pretty as they fly. They're especially good for children who are just learning to catch because there's such a l-o-n-g margin of error. Plus, the softball-sized balls on the end are soft, so accidental hits do not cause any harm. We like to plays various learning games as we throw and catch with kids: here comes a lemon, catch the grape; or Mars, the red planet is on its way. Kids love this, and it's entertaining for the adults, too. I have both hand washed these and machine washed on the gentle cycle, then line dried. Highly recommended!

Yes, I would recommend this product.

Activity for Alzheimer’s!

June 15, 2022 - By Mindy Hagenfrom San Diego

As my husband’s Alzheimer’s progresses he’s not able to engage in hobbies (building model planes, bicycling, wood working, reading, jigsaw puzzles, etc.) that he previously enjoyed. These Comet Balls came to our rescue! They’re easy to catch and fun to throw! Their long tails make it a cinch to grab if you miss the ball. The bright colors as they’re flying through the air add to the excitement! They’re a great activity for children and adults of all ages. The big smiles on my husband’s face as we’re throwing and catching the Comet Balls make it one of the best purchases I’ve made!

Yes, I would recommend this product.
