I brought out my old Trac Ball at a picnic and I was surprised that no one had seen it before. Everyone loved it and had so much fun I bought another set so more people could play at one time. The adults and the kids were amazed by the ability to throw curve balls. I searched every store in the city looking for the game (even Toy's R Us), but no one carried it. I was really happy to find it available on Amazon.
The new game is the same design as it was years ago, but he rackets are now a cool multi-color blue - nicer than the old black ones. However, I wasn't the only one who noticed that you could not get quite as much arch on the ball with the new ones for some reason. Instead of a hard ball and a foam ball, you just get two hard balls now. They don't curve as much, but go much farther and are better suited to the game overall.
A caveat for those who have never tried it before, there is a "trick" to throwing the ball that takes a little bit of time to develop. Instead of using your whole arm, it's more of a wrist flick type of action. There used to be instructions that came with the game giving pointers, but this latest set I purchased didn't have anything at all. That could be discouraging for someone who picked the game up for the first time and didn't know how to use it.
