The tee itself is fine. But the balls it comes with are covered in a felt fabric to stick to the Velcro on the hanger, and the stitching is so poor that my 3 and 5 year old broke 2 of the 4 balls in under 30 minutes of having it assembled. Still probably worth it for the $10 I spent on it. I can find a way to repair the balls.

That "guest" checkout is using another account such as google, or creating a account during the process .... you can't order without an identity

Got it when it was on sale last week. Solid deal. The ball velcros to the tee to hang.

I order from Macy's and Walmart and others without having an account. It's called 'Guest Checkout'. Please check your rudeness.

I just used the Wal-mart chat to price match. They make you pay the Walmart price then refund the difference. Mine will be here Wed.

My kids received one of these as a gift a few years ago and tore it up immediately (and yes, they're an appropriate age). The bat isn't awful and the tee isn't awful, but the balls are cheap and the ball holding arm thing is useless. It may say "ages 3 and up" but 3 is about the high end for this product. An older kid is going to break it quickly.

Just get a regular whiffle bat, balls, and an inexpensive tee.

If you're worried about privacy, resistance is futile. After you check out once as a guest thru Walmart, they create an identity in their system. Unless you're using faux identities and different payment methods, they're tracking your purchases just the same.

Yes that response was a bit rude… but seriously, you can create an account (fake or not) and order. There was also the Walmart suggestion given as well.

Honestly, your identity is all over the internet whether you like it or not. If you have EVER opened ANY type of account, applied for credit, have a rewards or bonus grocery store account, booked a hotel or plane ticket… Trust me, I am paid to know about the state of internet security.

The best advice I can give is to control the information you put out there. Use secure & obscure PASSPHRASES! (Not just a word) Also, when it's time to change your pw, don't just update one or 2 characters & do not add a "1" , "a", "A" or an "!" on the end of your old one. 😊 Change them often and don't utilize duplicate pw for accounts w/ sensitive information. Use a secure pw keeper if needed.

Have a great day!!

Enjoy your day & item. I'm in for one!

Thank you! I obviously did not make myself clear when I said I couldn't order the item because I needed an account. Yes, I am careful about how many 'accounts' I have but I'm not neurotic about it. I figure the fewer accounts I have the less chance there is that I could get caught up in a theft of information. We hear about accounts stored by big companies being hacked all the time. That said, I do have a Google account and a few others but whenever I make just a few purchases a year from a store, I generally just use the guest option or, better yet, I use PayPal. I do realize that the company still has a file on me, but I don't get spam emails from them.
Again, thanks for your insights as an internet security pro.
