“It’s Just An Easy Way Of Looking As If You Can Play Football” | Dragons’ Den

Tony is hoping that his idea for a football game based on traditional tennis favourite swingball will attract the Dragons. Will he achieve his goal of investment or be sent off with nothing?
An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

straight away you can see the issue is that it doesnt mimic gravity, so it's like a low speed football and cant replace the real thing

[@WobblesandBean]

Right? It'd be like me putting a wiffle ball on a stick attached to the ceiling, and calling it a tennis training aid.

[@B_Bodziak]

Well, actually, he explained the reason for that. He has the springs adjusted tightly for the presentation. The problem is that the ball isn't going out of its 4-5 feet parameter. A kicker can't even practice on it because there's no correlation between kicking this ball and the direction, projection, arc, etc it will take when compared to a loose ball. Even putting those issues aside, it looks like something even 5 year olds would quickly become bored. I don't know who told him this would sell, but they're obviously not in the toy industry. Having said that, I do hate when their dreams and the entire futures are wiped away in less than 8 minutes.

[@gaaraxnaru]

@@B_Bodziak Even if you keep adjusting the springs, the fact that it's attached to that pole makes it less of a soccer aid in general.

Could have put an elastic rope inside the ball and tied the end of the rope to a stump/nail mounted on the ground. That way, it is a portable solution. It is much cheaper.

If I gave that to my nieces and nephews they’d laugh in my face

It would have been better if he'd put the spring pressure down so the ball moved a bit more like a football instead of like in an action replay.

My salad came out of my mouth from laughing too hard when I saw the big reveal

[@rhiannonkulmayer4352]

I think it would be good product if the ball had more movement of dropping instead of it floating down

[@brotherlestat305]

He said you could ad just the springs. It would be fun to jump over the ball and stuff

Gotta love Duncan when he's decided that the core idea is 'silly'.

[@i_bleed_makeup1187]

I don't think I've ever been so underwhelmed in my life

[@MrMasterJones]

These are the perfect length to watch when eating

[@jonkarelester3529]

It's just a ball on the end of a stick! 😂🤣

I LOVE how uninterested the kids looked

This product is genius for public parks. There are only 27,000 Parks in the UK.

[@SeriviusR]

The only use I could really see it having is if you can belt the living daylights out of the ball, to practice really hard striking in a small area; but just hanging a big net is probably still a better option even in very confined yards; especially if this thing costs a fair bit too...

[@L.C.Sweeney]

Imagine taking this to the beach.

[@khl2445]

he actually had fun with it and realized it lmao

[@rabiukabir3368]

The joy is taken out. Crazy idea😂😂😂
