I have nothing but great things to say about Chuckit in general.  It works great for throwing balls, and using the launcher means I don't have to touch that disgusting ball.  Of all of the Chuckits I prefer this size.  With the larger Chuckits it seems like I can throw the ball a mile, at which point my dog looks at me and says, "you go get it."  I can better control the distance I throw with this size, and, of course, with the smaller size it stores much more easily.
