Homemade outdoor Sports Tetherball from scratch

What is it?

[InvaderCrissy]

Hey man.Just wondering i got a tether ball not a ball like you have but i was just wanted to know can you used a tether ball with a long thick wood pole?

[Homemadegameguru]

@InvaderCrissy A real tetherball is heavier than the ball I used. It should work as long as you place the wood pole deep into the ground - I'm taking about a foot in. An oak or pine 2x4 should be thick enough to take the punishment without breaking.

I loved to play tether ball when I was a kid!

[Homemadegameguru]

@tjw1963 It is such a fun and simple game to play.

@Dragonoid67 Its all good - buy one if you can find it at a good price. This is for people who like to make things themselves. This design costs like $4 to make and will last. It is also easy to take down and put up - verses a metal pole

[Dragonoid67]

Just buy one at academy for 20.00$ Carbon steel pole tetherball with string and hook this is low quality I'm no hater good idea but I wanted normal tetherball

cool man !

[jsgg95]

you can also use a water ski buoy instead of the ball cause ut has a ring from wich you can tie it

[Homemadegameguru]

@jsgg95 did not know that. Thanks for sharing the suggestion

Hi. I really like the concept especially for younger players. But i will make one with a metal poll and a real tetherball. Neverless, your idea has helped me with the general procedures. Thanks

I made this and it was really fun, the only problem is that I'm an aggressive tetherball player and got a face full of splinters, not a problem though because I'm proud of my tetherball battle scars.

[Homemadegameguru]

glad to hear you enjoyed yourself. Tetherball is a fun game.

[Thepiratejoe]

Nifty idea. The pole seems kinda shaky, mate, might want to secure it down a bit more. Cheers. :)

I agree - I put it in the ground quickly for the sake of finishing the video. That is why I mentioned to dig a deep hole and fortify with rocks. Thanks for the insight. Cheers

[Homemadegameguru]

ah, the good ol days. I do miss them

[lunacatz]

you may want to of suggested sanding out the edges of the wood so that the string wouldn't get caught at the top to allow fair play.

[Homemadegameguru]
