What is the name of this game?

Asked by lucillelucillelucille (34325points) June 4th, 2011

I used to play a game that had a racquetball on an elastic string attached to a heavy orange-colored base.The racquets were narrow,thin wood.
Does anyone know what this game was called?

@SavoirFaire -Nope…this game had a racquetball attached to the string that was attached to a heavy plastic base that was placed on the ground.It was usually played by two people but you could also play with yourself.

Ah, I see. Could it be tetherball, then?

@SavoirFaire -No,the base was small,heavy plastic and sat on the ground.

@lucillelucillelucille Should I be concerned? You seem a little delusional about all of this lately. Don’t be trippin’. XD

I’ve never heard of this Jokari, sounds like a variation on Swingball.

@lucillelucillelucille Now there’s an interesting challenge! Be warned however, I take no prisoners. I’d have you wrapped around the pole like a spider’s prey ;¬}
Oh & as it happens I am a big crybaby, but only if I don’t get my own way…..only sometimes!
