This set is very good. Its very easy to throw it very far. Its easy to throw long distance. I love that I didn't get my hands dirty with slobber. The ball released easily. I almost threw it over the fence when I first threw it because it was so easy to throw. The ball is pretty bouncy but not too bouncy. The tennis ball is destroyed pretty easily by my dog who is a pitbull. I really like that the stick is interchangeable with other large balls.  I like that the stick is longer which makes it easier to pick up and throw the ball without reaching or bending more. Disclosure I paid for this at full price.
