The Chuckit! Classic Ball Launcher is a molded plastic throwing wand built to extend the arc and distance of a thrown ball well beyond a standard arm throw. The cupped claw at the end grips a ball firmly enough to scoop it up off the ground without hand contact, then releases it with a forward swing. Construction is a durable, lightweight, flexible plastic with a contoured, ergonomic handle meant to reduce strain on the thrower's arm and shoulder during repeated throws. It is sized to hold medium 2.5-inch balls, including standard tennis balls, and one Chuckit tennis ball is included with purchase. The launcher requires no assembly or batteries and is intended for outdoor fetch play with a dog under an owner's direct supervision. Care consists of rinsing off dirt or slobber after use and inspecting periodically for cracks or wear.
