Overview

Franklin Sports packs a steel pole, ground sleeve, cotton core rope and tetherball into one starter set with a carry bag. A pump and needle are included to inflate the ball.

Everything for a first setup is in the box, which removes the need to buy a pole or sleeve separately. The weight is low for a pole system, and the listing gives no clear pole height or base fill details.

Who it's for

A lawn with room to set a ground sleeve works well for two players. Anyone needing a permanent, full-height installation or a documented height should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Pole, sleeve, rope and ball included
  • Pump and needle included
  • Carry bag for beach trips
  • Steel pole construction
Cons
  • Pole height not clearly listed
  • Ground sleeve needs digging
  • Short limited warranty
  • Fill and anchoring not described

Performance notes

The ground sleeve anchors the steel pole in the lawn and the cotton core rope carries the ball around the pole. Ball firmness depends on the pump, and rope length and pole height set how the ball swings.
