The invention relates to a tether cord and ball arrangement for a tether
ball-type game apparatus. The arrangement comprises a cord, a ball engaged
with the cord at one end thereof and a tail assembly. The tail assembly
includes an elongate anchor element that defines an eye formation near one
end thereof whereby the element can be rotatably located on the cord,
particularly adjacent the location where the ball is engaged with the
cord. The anchor element has a plurality of streamers attached thereto
near its end opposite to the end where the eye formation is defined, the
streamers, during play of a tether ball-type game which involves striking
the ball with a bat, providing a pleasant visual and audible effect, while
also providing for desired ball flight qualities.
