All the fun of the original Ladderball but designed for teams instead of individual play, this Double Ladderball set is great for tailgating, barbecues, family reunions, vacations, or general backyard fun. An American original, Ladderball was originally played by cowboys using split-rail fences and cow-wrangling bolas.
Ladderball players try to land bolas on a series of crossbars. |
The concept of the game is trying to land bolas--essentially foot-long pieces of rope with golf balls attached to both ends--on a series of crossbars from 25 feet away. The top blue bar is worth three points, the middle red bar is worth two points, and the bottom white bar is worth one point. The game continues until one player or team reaches 21 points. This Double Ladderball set--which is ASTM safety tested and approved for indoor or outdoor use--includes two goal uprights, three red bolas, three blue bolas, and instructions. Designed for ages 4 and older, the set also comes with a convenient carrying and storage bag.
Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
I've had a couple cheaper ladderball games. This one in nice for a couple reasons.
First, it stays together. Some come apart frequently.
Second, I like the weighted base sections. This one doesn't need to be staked down.
Lastly, the balls and cords are better made. Some have foam balls that the cord rips through.
I expect this one to last a long time and we will get a lot of use from it.
