Playground Classics Metall-Jax-Set

The metal jacks have that satisfying weight when you toss them, and the two-toned ball bounces high enough to keep the game moving fast. I grew up on plastic sets, but these feel sturdier and actually stay put when you scoop them up.

My kids have been playing with these every day since they arrived, and the metal jacks have a nice satisfying weight to them that the plastic ones just lack. The two-toned ball also bounces high enough on our driveway that it works great on its own for a quick game of handball.

The hi-bounce ball is so bright and springy that my kids grabbed it before we even opened the jacks, and the metal pieces feel sturdy enough to survive a few drops on the driveway. We've played three rounds already and the set shows zero signs of bending or chipping.
