description Swingball Overview
Swingball is a recreational tether-tennis game in which players hit a ball attached to a vertical pole with racquets. The ball travels around the pole as the players take turns striking it, creating a simple contest that can be played without a full tennis court. It became established as a British garden game sold commercially under the Swingball name from 1974 and is intended for casual outdoor play.
help Swingball FAQ
How do you play Swingball?
Players hit a ball attached to a vertical pole with racquets. Each hit sends the ball around the pole, and players take turns trying to control the rally.
Do you need a tennis court to play Swingball?
No. Swingball uses a freestanding pole and tethered ball, so it can be played in a garden or other suitable outdoor space without a full tennis court.
Is Swingball suitable for two players?
Yes. The basic game is designed for two people, with each player striking the tethered ball from opposite sides. Its simple setup also makes it accessible to casual players.
How is Swingball different from tennis?
Swingball uses a ball attached to a pole, so the ball follows a circular path instead of crossing a net. That makes the equipment and playing area much simpler than standard tennis.
