How is the ball attached to the rope and is it a real ball?

The golf ball appears to be made of a hard plastic and weighs approximately 35g (when placed on a kitchen scale) compared to the approximate 45g weight of a Titleist Pro V1 golf ball weighed on the same kitchen scale. The ball is attached to the stand by a 3/16" cord which is protected by a 6" inch long thick plastic tube that can slide the length of the 8" cord (only 1 1/2" of the cord is exposed). There is a plastic connector at the top that holds the bound cord together after it loops over the top of the stand which accounts for the remaining 1/2" difference. There is a small hole drilled into the top of the ball where the cord is inserted. Without causing damage to the ball or the cord, it is not possible to determine how the cord is secured inside the ball. I did apply consistent pressure to the try to remove the ball from the cord and did not notice any warping or flexing at the point where the cord is inserted into the ball.

It is composite (synthetic) leather, which means it isn't real leather. I think technically it is some sort of micro-fiber. It has a feel to it that is more similar to a leather ball than say a traditional outdoor rubber ball, and tends to be more stronger than a true leather ball, so it works fine in both an indoor and outdoor setting.

The entire unite is made of metal. There is a solid, rigid stiffness. This is by far the best ladder ball game on the market!! I highly recommend it!!!! The balls are a stiff rubber compound with actual rope that hold them together. This is very well built!

The rope is one long piece that runs up one side and loops down the other (which gives you a loop at the top of the ladder). You put the top of the ladder over the limb and thread the bottom of the ladder through the top loop and pull it tight. Did I explain that well enough? There are no other attachments. Note: I added a picture to the product page that shows how it attaches to the tree.

It comes with some rope, but you will need to get your own hardware which is understandable considering the many different ways you can attach them

It is neither a ball or a loop. You attach it by making a loop around the roller.

It looks and feels like a real volleyball but I can't tell you if its a regulation ball.

Hi,It's not a ball. There is no loop at the end either. I'm not sure what you mean by loop, but classical guitar strings are tied off at the bridge. Hope this helps. Phil

It's a nylon rope. My kids absolutely love this swing. We've had as many as 6 kids on it at one time.

Adjusting the tether: You don't really have to adjust it, as once the string/ball reaches the top or bottom of the spiral, it stays there unless you move it. The top part of the pole is a spiral. The string/ball travel up or down the spiral depending on which way you hit the ball. Our son hits it all the way to the top, then leaves it there, and hits the crap out of it.

Mine came with a rope. This toy has been a regular favorite of the puppy for 3 months!

It comes with two long pieces of thin black rope that you thread through the bottom of the net and the trampoline spring attachments. It seemed like it was going to be a pain, but went pretty quickly. And when we took it down for the season, we left it attached for storage. Overall, very happy with the purchase. It was easy to set up (we had two adults and one 13 year old). So far it has held up well with two boys and lots of friends in and out and lots of jumping.

As I recall - and it's been awhile since I purchased it - the ball was partially/mostly inflated. I'm virtually certain it wasn't flat. You'll need to pump in some air from time to time to keep it up to snuff.

There is nylon rope wound tightly around the tube- not sure what the "tube" is made of but it's rigid. After the first week of play the tightly wound rope began to come loose, but it still seems to be hiding together. My grandkids really enjoy it

the ball holds it's shape but because it is hollow I found it to be flimsy. I would highly recommend the 8 inch jolly on a rope. although my dog went through the rope in about 15 seconds, the ball has lasted a year and believe me my dog has had his way with it!

Put something similar to a smooth rock or bouncy ball in the netting, at the point you wish to anchor, and wrap the netting around the ball. Tie the string around the netting at the "bottom" of the ball and suspend.
