Totem Tennis

Also known as Zim Zam, Tether Tennis or Swingball, this simplest of concepts was a huge seller in its day.

Basically, just a tennis ball attached to a cord connected to a vertical pole with a coil on top, the game has been known since the early 1900s.

One person or two could play at the beach, on picnics or in their own backyard.
