Subject: Toy/Game based on tetherball???!!!???
Please help me. I'm trying desparately to remember the name of a game my sister and I used to play in the backyard. It was a green metal pole that you stuck in the ground and it had a tennis ball attatched to it which you were supposed to hit with a racket. I'm sure it came out in the early to mid 80's, but none of us can remember what it was called, and it's driving me insane. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Zimm Zamm. Blue pole topped by a spiral of metal. Solid black plastic racquets. Would that be it? Ha-ha! I still have it! Peace brothers and sisters!
