This ball launcher is built from durable plastic with an ergonomic grip designed to firmly hold a ball and release it with a swing motion. The 18-inch length gives extra reach compared to a standard arm throw, letting owners send a ball a greater distance with less effort. A scoop-style end lets the ball be picked up off the ground without bending down or touching it by hand. The launcher is compatible with any medium 2.5-inch ball in the Chuckit line and ships with one tennis ball included. It ships in assorted colors, so the exact shade received varies by unit. The launcher is manufactured in the United States and requires no assembly before use.
