Definitely give it a try!! I have a 100 pound (all muscle) Labrador that is ball-crazy! This lets you throw the ball really far! You don't even have to touch the slobbery ball, pick it up with the launcher. This lets you throw the ball further than the product the canine cannon, but they are both the same idea. After using it for awhile, I got a kink in my shoulder. Nothing bad to say about this. If your dog likes balls, it is a great thing to add to your doggie toy box.
