Zim Zam was a tether ball game in which a tennis ball was attached to the end of a string on a pole. The opponents took turns paddling the ball back and forth trying to get to the top or bottom of a coil that the tether was attached to. We had this in our backyard probably in the late 70's. My kids were little, and we loved playing this game.....anyone know the whereabouts of one? Thanks for your help!
