We set the net up on the kitchen table after dinner and nobody left. My teenager, my dad, and the six year old all played the same round. It is the first thing we reach for when people come over now, and the games get competitive fast.

Pulled it out of the bag, popped the net open, and we were rallying almost immediately. No fuss, no pieces to hunt for. The kids had a match going before I finished clearing the plates.

Kitchen counter, picnic table, garage floor, we have played on all of them. Any flat firm surface and we are in a game. It travels with us everywhere now and never lets us down.
