My dog loves this!  She's a dalmation/lab mix who is all about chasing frisbees and balls.  Shortly after I bought this I sprained my wrist on my dominant hand, but I can still "chuck" the ball for her using my non-dominant hand with this so she can still get her exercise (it's difficult to walk my dogs on a leash with only one hand- and I can't pooper scoop!)  I will say though, that I was hestitant about using the orange tennis ball that comes with it since it is made in China. Ultimately the orange ball is easier to see and find than a standard green tennis ball, but it fell apart after just a few weeks.
