Great launcher! No more slimy hands! The launcher is great but the ball it comes with split within a few tosses. We bought the Chuckit Medium Ultra Balls to replace the ball it came with and they have survived a lot of tosses but do not have enough bounce for our high flier so we bought high bounce balls and even though they are smaller we can still scoop them up with the launcher and send them flying. The high bounce balls are the best ever for our high flying Australian Cattle/ Jack Russell mix breed and this launcher keeps our hands free of slobber and sends the ball a good distance so that we can wear his hyper self out!!! Woot WOOT!!!
