Really not his brand though the original creator was a cartoonist and toy maker. Spike ball is very successful now but it was created as a toy and is a toy. No matter how many middle aged men want to say the are pro athletes now playing it.

They play this at my Crossfit gym. It is very popular. What a smart guy to pick up an old game and re-establish it and get the legal rights all in order (trademark and utility patent) etc. And, again smart guy as Ruder (the CEO) wanted this thing to be seen as a sport not a toy. This guy is smart and stuck to his guns This guy deserves all his success. He inspires me. This is an easy, not expensive, set up game, that can be taken practically anywhere and played by many.
