The Nine Hole Flying Disc Golf Game.
at Hammacher.com
With nine configurable "holes" that simply stake into the ground, this flying disc golf game allows you to turn your backyard into an aerial back nine. The 18"-diameter netted targets present a stern challenge to reach the clubhouse under par, even for scratch disc golfers. The four 8" discs have pronounced rims that promote a firm grip for deft tosses into the net.
The targets can be staked at 36" and 55" above the ground and they have numbered flags (1 to 9), allowing you to customize the course. The ground stakes ensure the targets remain true in sand, soil, or lawn. Ages 6 and up.

The 189 MPH Speedminton®.
at Hammacher Schlemmler
This is Speedminton®, a faster and more powerful version of a classic racket sport that doesn't require a net, and uses heavier, aerodynamic shuttlecocks that can travel up to 189 mph, allowing for use on any outdoor surface in calm or windy conditions. The shuttlecocks have a streamlined plastic skirt and a heavier cork, resulting in less drag during flight, while the lightweight aluminum rackets have a string tension of 26 lbs. and a more expansive sweet spot than traditional badminton rackets, ensuring optimal control and velocity when striking the shuttlecock.
The set includes two rackets, three different shuttlecocks, two shuttlecock lights for night games, a ring for stabilizing the shuttlecock in light winds, eight cones for mar king court boundaries, a racket case, and speedminton instruction booklet. 24" L x 9 1/2" W x 2 1/2" H. (2 lbs.)

Tournament Volleyball Set
at Hammacher Schlemmler
This is the volleyball set used in youth tournaments nationwide by the United States Youth Volleyball Association.

Adjustable 3/16" guylines with tension rings allow you to set the desired tautness of the net. Guylines are held to the ground by 8" steel ground stakes. A 3/16" pre-measured boundary line sets your 30' x 60' playing area and is secured by included corner anchors. Includes one 18-panel 26" diam. youth volleyball, air pump, and equipment bag. Sets up in five minutes. Ages 10 and up. (13 lbs.)
