Works well. Bought the Classic 26M and works well but I have to hold it with two hands when throwing because the ball wouldn't release with me holding by just one hand. The grip was too strong, so by having two hands, it stops the motion abruptly, which cause the ball to fling out of the holder. But I can't complain. It does what it should do.. :) Maybe I'm just lazy by wanting to only use one hand to do the work. My dog loves playing fetch!
