I have a 7-pound toy poodle that loves to play fetch. The only two balls she can get in her little mouth are these Air Kong balls and the smallest soccer ball. Anything bigger and she drops it 50 times before bringing it back. These are perfect for the small little mouths of dogs who love to play fetch. Every once in a while she will stop just to make it squeak and it just squeaks and squeaks and then we do the fetch thing once again. When our miniature poodle gets ahold of it he ruins the squeaker almost immediately.

We have a tiny Shi tsu puppy, she loves this ball it's just her size.

I am furious this is advertized as made in the USA but when they came I noticed a sickening smell so I read the back of the label. The company address is in Colorado, it says designed and tested in the USA but it is made in China. Every dog I've had has died of cancer and we know multiple products have had dangerous ingrediants or materials coming from China. These have caused death and illness. Do not buy these. Cadimium in childrens jewelry, melamine in pet food, lead in paint & childrens toys and books, some unknown chemical in Heparin (blood thinner) it almost killed my daughter. I will not buy anything or use anything coming from China. Return manufacturing to America, they own us and are killing us with poisons.

My five year old chihuahua mix absolutely loves these extra small tennis balls. She will chomp on it until they lose their squeek, then decides which ones she will continue to play with once silenced. We have a large collection of them for playing fetch and catch with (she runs out to a spot and wants you to bounce them for her). The biggest problem is that few stores stock the smallest ones.

Very small. I thought it would be tennis ball size. It gets very fuzzy quickly and the dog gets choked on the fuzz. I wouldn't recommend it.

I got these for my 18lb terrier mix. My sister had some squeaker balls for her german shepard and pit bull puppies and brought them down one day. My dog loved them and wasn't able to destroy them. I saw them here and thought this is great. However, after 1.5 hours the first one was ripped apart, and my little girl isn't a power chewer, she can barely get treats out of a small puppy kong. The second squeaker was gone in about an hour and I had to take it away because I didn't want her rip apart or eat any of it while I was gone for a bit. I love the idea, these just aren't made well. The size was good though just a little smaller than a regular tennis ball.

My dog loved these squeaky balls. The sound may be a little annoying sometimes though. However, I was mistaken in assuming that because these are balls made from the Kong brand, that they'd be pretty tough. My dog punctured holes in 2 of them within 15-20 minutes, and then it was no longer squeaky. Then he ripped the fuzzy fabric covering the ball off of it and tried to pull it off. My dog is 35 pounds and a 9 month old puppy. He is pretty destructive, so within the context, this probably wasn't a good buy for him. This is a great squeaky fetch ball for dogs, but not durable like the other kong toys.

Ever since they were puppies our two English bulldogs Popcorn and MERLE go crazy for Kong Squeaker tennis balls. It is as if they can smell them the minute the UPS man arrives at the front door. It is nothing but squeaky fun for hours! I have read previous reviews that say that the squeaker does not last long and if you have a serious chewer this can be true as the ball is not solid. However, for the price that Amazon offers these compared to the "chain" stores out there the couple of hours we get with the squeaker equals two tired puppies and quiet time for me later on. Thanks for offering these at such a great price Amazon! Popcorn and MERLE thank you!

My two German Shorthair Pointer Pups were able to totally destroy all three of these balls within minutes. NOT recommended for chewers!

These are great little balls. The colors are bright and the dogs can see them when you throw them and they land on grass or plant cover. My dogs love the squeaker. Good toy, would recommend

My experience matches the others about not lasting. All three balls stopped squeeking after a few seconds of simple compressions by my Aussie. Basically, you end up with a tennis ball with a little slit in it so air can be squeezed out, making it easier for dogs to compress the ball. I can make that with an old ball and a knife for free!

Repeat buyer of this product. The dog still loves chasing them and making the squeaks once he catches the ball!

If these balls were, say, maybe 20 cents a ball they would be wonderful but at their current price they are so overpriced. My dog is not an aggressive chewer and loves to play with this play but.. after maybe 20 times playing with it and the chuck-it it no longer squeaks it can still be played with but.. it's not the same. Other dogs who chew and or slobber a lot the toy gets filled with saliva and if you play with it in the water it will get filled and start to sink: you can squeeze the liquid out but it's gross especially if it is saliva- EW!

Our Wheaten Terrier has been addicted to these since he was a puppy - and takes great satisfaction from chasing them and squeaking them. However they don't last very long - I think about one week is about average. However, they're pretty cheap and so we just resign ourselves to a regular re-order.

My dogs love these, I have a shepherd mix and a westie. The shepherd mix is able to tear up regular tennis balls in minutes, these last a little longer, plus have a squeaker which = more fun for them. The shepherd mix was able to tear one of these up like he does with normal tennis balls, but we still have several of these littered around the house. They really like them. I will definitely buy more.

Bought this for my son who is a soccer coach. He loved it. Quality is good, price was right and delivery was fast.

Replaced my standard mesh bags with this one this season, had issues with other bags tearing, not so with this one. Very durable.

This is a great ball bag for a coach! I carry 8 soccer balls, 16 practice jerseys, and cones in this bag with room to spare. The zipper pouch will hold your keys and wallet as well. Worth the money. I have 3 other inexpensive bags that get left at home and am thinking of buying another one of these for football and basketball season!

Got this to replace a previous bag that was developing a lot of holes. The nylon bottom is pretty good at resisting abrasions from my son dragging it across the parking lot, and the little pocket is extremely handy for keeping car keys, phone, and other stuff I don't need in my pockets while I am coaching. Shoulder straps and a grab handle make it easy to carry too. All in all, a very good bag, for a very reasonable price.

A fun CD which will appeal to the sports lover, music lover and history lover in equal measure. The idea is simple. "Play The Game" contains 17 American and British songs, each one about a different sport. The songs were written between 1862 and 1913. Listeners are likely to be drawn to the songs which illustrate their favourite sports. Many golfers will recognise the plight of the player in "Caddie", written in 1900, who pleads with his caddie, ever more desperately, to 'get me right out of this mess'. Enthusiasts of British heritage will enjoy "The Eton Boating Song", the song of Eton College, the elite British school where Lady Diana's children, Princes William and Harry, were educated. The CD also includes a real historical curiosity : "A Hunting Morning" is a setting of a rare poem by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes. The liner notes contain an article on the history of sport, a background note on each song plus short biographies of the composers and lyricists. The CD would make an unusual Christmas or birthday gift for a sports-loving friend. Strongly recommended! Tom Dawson, Pimlico, London, UK.

Typical stupid comedy. If you are expecting a diamond in the rough you are looking in the wrong place. If you want a movie to pass the time, then this could be a choice.

This was a very funny movie about a janitor named Gary Houseman who helps coach a Tennis team who haven't won a game in a long time. Gary has very funny and unorthodox ways of helping his team. There were some hilarious secondary characters like the laughing grandpa, and the 8-year-old named Amy who is pregnant and needs money for an abortion. Will Gary lead the team to victory? I highly recommend BALLS OUT: GARY THE TENNIS COACH!!!

This film was really 2.5 stars, to be fair. I feel that a better script could have helped here, and the pacing was quite clunky. Stiffler was as ever Stiffler and I found his character rather endearing, I actually cared what happended to the team. And to be fair, he wasnt a bad coach, he knew the game and had a fair understanding of what makes people tick, but a rather unconventional way of realising that dream. The acting really was ok, just let down by a poor script and direction. I wouldnt NOT recommend this film, I would just recommend better gross out comedies than this. If you have see all the usual ones, and have 90 mins to kill, you could do worse than this. Alternatively you could spend the time cleaning your guttering, its your choice.

but this movie is bad. Acting - good Plot - clichéd Script - horrid

OK. If you like stupid humor and enjoy movies like Kingpin, Something About Mary, Along Came Polly, Super Troopers, Waiting, Role Models, 40 Year Old Virgin, etc. I think you will appreciate this movie. You probably need to play or at least understand the game of tennis to appreciate some of the humor, but Stiffler is simply hilarious to me. Randy Quaid is also great in this. Unfortunately he has a minor part.

So my uncle Michael Lanahan wrote this movie back in the 80's. He originally titled it "Road Trip" but the distributor titled it "Jocks" something he hates. He said to me the film was meant to portray what colege life was back in the 80's. There is an interesting cast my uncles favorite being Christopher Lee (evil wizard from Lord of the Rings) whom he got to know well. So there is a little background. So here is my opinion of the movie, I like the character of Ripper and the Black guy, there the funniest in my opinion. The story is good but I mean it was almost to easy, I wish things got a little more complicated before they manage to win the Tennis Championship. I laughed some but I never was cracking up, like with "Old School" or Animal House". So all in all I give the movie a "C".

A college tennis team on a road trip to Vegas gets into a great deal of trouble, but must win the conference title or all their scholarships are lost. Comedic mayhem ensues as the guys scam their way to the title.

From Crown International Pictures, who describe themselves as a `leading force in independent film production and distribution', which is just a fancy way of saying purveyors of schlock, comes Jocks (1987), another in a slew of dumb teenage comedies released throughout the 1980s. Directed by Steve Carver (Big Bad Mama, Lone Wolf McQuade), the film stars Scott Strader (The Karate Kid), Mariska Hargitay (Ghoulies, "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit"), and Perry Lang (1941, Alligator). Also appearing is Richard Roundtree (Shaft), R.G. Armstrong (Children of the Corn), Stoney Jackson (Angels in the Outfield), Adam Mills (Snowballing), Don `Ogre' Gibb (Revenge of the Nerds), Trinidad Silva (UHF), Christopher Murphy (Valley Girl), Christopher Lee (The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring), and Tom Shadyac, whose since gone on to directing such films as Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994), The Nutty Professor (1996), and Bruce Almighty (2003). As the movie begins we learn the men's tennis program at L.A. College is in jeopardy, even though they've been winning under their coach Chip Williams (Roundtree). Why? Well, it seems the head of the athletic department and coach of the football team named Bettlebom (Armstrong), a creepy, tracksuit wearing jackhole with a ridiculous hairpiece, wants to take the scholarship monies for the tennis team and use it for his football program (oh yeah, he also believes tennis is for pansies). But here's the thing...since the men's tennis team are the only sports program with a chance of winning a national title, the president of the school, played by Christopher Lee, won't allow Bettlebom to discontinue the program. We soon meet the members of the tennis team, a group of misfits lead by a prodigy of sorts called `The Kid' (Strader), whose somewhat of a loose cannon who'd trade his rackets for a six-pack specifically because `you can't drink tennis rackets'. Other members include the nerdy goody goody Jeff (Lang), Andy (Jackson), who's fancies himself a ladies man and looks a lot like singer James DeBarge, jerry curls and all, a BS artist named Tex (Mills), a psychotic named Ripper (Gibb), and Chito (Silva), `the human backboard'. As the team arrives in Las Vegas to compete in some sort of tournament they engage in all sorts of antics, some of which endanger their chances of winning while going up against a couple of evil jocks from Dallas Tech, who also happen to be their main competition. Eventually evil forces conspire against the team, The Kid specifically, as the competition wrangles him into a blackmail scheme involving a bet against L.A. College. Will The Kid throw the match under the pressure and cost his teammates their scholarships, or will he risk his own reputation and come through thereby saving the program? I'll never tell... Jocks is pretty typical of the type of innocuous, slightly sleazy teenage type comedies produced throughout the 1980s, although I sort of wondered if the well was running dry at the time it was made given the backdrop of the story, that being a men's college tennis team. I suppose if the dumb teen comedy genre had remained strong, we may have seen films featuring such activities as curling, badminton, and competitive unicycling. Ah well...I thought this film no better or no worse than any number of other similar movies release throughout the decade, as while it did feature some amusing bits, I didn't find myself outright laughing at anything in particular. The main gist of the comedy seemed to stem from the characters and their unusual methods of style in terms of playing. For example, if Andy found himself losing during a match, he'd turn around and act all ridiculously effeminate towards the other player, which, in turn, would tend to throw the competition's game off. Ripper, on the other hand, would just bash the ball, make threatening noises, and appearing menacing in general. Tex would mess with his opponent's head by engaging him in a large wager based on the outcome of the match (the player then would become preoccupied with the money instead of playing), while Chito would go through an elaborate Catholic, somewhat comical prayer ritual on the court, prior to his match. Jeff had no tricks, and was pretty much the dead weight in the group who tended to lose (mainly because he was the nerdy goody goody type), while The Kid, on the surface, wouldn't seem much in terms of talent until he stepped up, which usually occurred during the match. As far as the performances they were all pretty standard for this type of film, although I'm unsure how Roundtree or Lee got roped into a movie like this, other than perhaps the desire to pick up a check and the fact they had nothing better to do at the time. As far as Ms. Hargitay, she plays a character named Nicole who's a possible love interest for The Kid, but seems to be involved with his competition, one of the evil jocks from Dallas Tech. The writing isn't very good, in my opinion, even for a film like this, as I was hoping for a few more chuckles than it actually produced. There is some nekkidness in the film, typical of the genre, but it wasn't as prevalent as in some of the other films in the genre (there were a couple of brief topless scenes, neither of which included Hargitay). One bit I thought odd was somewhere in the middle, we see the boys hitting a bar, one that appeared to be engaging in a wet t-shirt contest. Only thing was, I never saw any of the s-shirt clad females actually get wet. Ah well, another missed opportunity. The picture on this BCI DVD release, presented in widescreen anamorphic (1.78:1), looks better than expected and the audio comes through clearly, although I'm unsure the actual format. There aren't really any extras provided except for a handful of trailers for other Crown International/BCI DVD releases like The Beach Girls (1982), Weekend Pass (1984), Tomboy (1985), and My Chauffeur (1986). Cookieman108 In case you're wondering, someone at some point during the film does get crotched with a tennis ball...it seemed inevitable, to me, at least, given the caliber of comedy present throughout the movie.

This item works great. Just make sure you have EXTRA tennis balls if you use your walker on pavement as they will wear rather quickly in this manor.

It's about time someone thought of this. No more trying to cut tennis balls to fit your walker.

I had a little trouble getting these to fit to my feet at first- there is a thermal sensor on the bottom of one of the insoles that's supposed to change color after being heated in the (low temp) oven for a short while. Mine never changed color, and the instructions said to pull them out after a certain amount of time even if it didn't change. I didn't notice much of an immediate change in comfort from them. I did, however, feel like I had a "lump" under one of my heels for the first couple weeks. I stuck it out to see if it would eventually become more comfortable, and it did! I've been wearing them for about 8 months now and am quite happy with them. (I use them for "everyday" walking around, nothing too strenuous) I have a slightly higher than normal arch and I found that "normal" arch insoles didn't give enough support, but "high" arch insoles were too high. These molded to my feet perfectly. My only complaint is that they're fairly deep and won't work in some of the "fashion athletic" shoes I would like to wear because the factory insoles are so thin that there simply isn't room for a real insole in the shoes!

I am in the military and use these for my combat boots. Usually I try to find an insole for each type of shoe that I own (running, boot, casual) but this one is going to replace all of them for me. I haven't had back, knee, or feet problems in the past but instead like for my feet to be comfortable no matter what I do. These insoles do that and more! I am on my feet and moving around most of the day in combat boots and with these at the end of the day I have noticed that my feet don't hurt and are ready for whatever comes after work. Don't hesitate and buy this product!

Bought these as a replacement. My first pair i bought from a shoe store goin out of business, got'em super cheap. Only reason i bought them, at first, was they are the ONLY insole on the face of the planet that says Size 15. True to size they fit my Timberland work boots great. As a local truck driver im not only driving quite a bit i also spend more hours outside the truck and unloading into businesses. heavy lifting, heavy cart and dolly pushing up to 700+ pounds of pushing wheeled items. these insoles were absolutely amazing! my feet never felt better than when i had these insoles in my shoes. Highly Recommend them.

I have been suffering with foot pain for several years now due to plantar fasciitis. I have tried just about everything I can to help relieve this problem. It is not going away, but I must say that when I wear my tennis shoes with these inserts, my feet feel great! I can walk and exercise without any pain. These insoles give great arch support and padding. I bought these after a friend recommended them. She bought some for everyone in her family and they love them. I might get some for my husband and kids too! It is never to early to take good care of your feet!

I am VERY impressed with the SOLE brand of replacement insoles. Depending on the walking shoe or hiking boot, I use either the regular or ultra thickness. The Ultra Sole is about twice as cushioning as the "regular" SOLE insole. SOLE insoles offer terrific arch support in particular. One advantage they offer over another popular brand (Superfeet) is that they can be heated briefly in the oven, placed in your shoe or hiking boot and they mold themselves to your foot and shoe. I have suffered from plantar fasciitis for 4 months. I was on the verge of spending $400 on custom orthotics. A friend advised me to first try the SOLE insoles. He predicted that I may find I would not need the more expensive orthotics. He was right! BTW, they are impervious to water. This is relevant as I use a pair in my fly fishing wading shoes. I have tried a variety of insoles brands ranging in price from $9 to $45. Without a doubt, they are far superior to the other over-the-counter products that are out there.

We love our Jelfin Mouse!!!!! Kids in our household love the appearance and feel. Adults like its uniqueness and comfort. It is just simply fun to use!!!!!! I will buy it again soon for presents.

This is a fine mouse with a few small issues. The biggest is the mouse wheel which is very squishy and does not track evenly and smoothly. It might be the only deal breaker for me otherwise I would probably order a few more as backup/gifts. The cord is a nice length, although it is not super long, good enough if you have a small desk or a USB hub nearby. The construction is good on the device so far, but it is very light weight so I have a tendency to knock it across my desk with an accidental swat of my hand and the fact that its round helps the device to keep going. Pros: - Cord length fine (could be better) - Fits small/medium hands nicely. - Gel coating nice and comfortable. - Optical tracking smooth and jitter free. Cons: - Wheel not very responsive. - On the small side (not for those with large hands) - Very light weight (easy to knock around)
