You Launch It, You Catch It — Back and Forth, in One Smooth Motion. Yard Time Just Got a Whole Lot More Interesting.
This isn't your typical game of catch. With this slingshot-style set, you pull the ball back in the net and release — it flies, your partner catches it in their racket, and launches it right back. No mitts, no gloves, just pure back-and-forth action that hooks you in minutes.
Reviewed by the Velloraco team • Updated July 2026
You know the scene. Kids are bored. You're trying to get everyone outside. The usual stuff — catch, frisbee, maybe a game of corn hole — has been done a hundred times. Everyone goes through the motions, but nobody's really having fun.
We stumbled onto something different. It's a catch-and-release slingshot game. And the first time you try it, you feel it immediately. You pull the ball back, the elastic netting stretches, and when you release, the ball launches with a satisfying zip across the yard. The other person catches it in their racket, pulls it back, and sends it flying right back. No break in the action. No fumbling with mitts. Just a seamless back-and-forth that gets more competitive the longer you play.
It works in the backyard, in the driveway, even in a pool. It's simple enough that an 11-year-old picks it up in two tries. It's challenging enough that adults are still out there 20 minutes later, trying to outdo each other.
We built this for anyone who's tired of the same old backyard games. For families who want to get everyone off their devices. For anyone who's ever wished catch was just a little bit more interesting.
Why This Slingshot Game Makes Catch Feel Brand New
Regular catch is passive. You throw, you catch, you throw again. It's fine, but it doesn't really grab you. This slingshot game changes the dynamic because the elastic netting adds a whole new layer. You have to control the tension. You have to aim while the ball is stretched back. You have to coordinate your release with the flight path. It's more active, more engaging, and more satisfying when you nail a perfect launch.
The racket is designed with a net that holds the ball snugly. You pull it back, the elastic does the work, and the ball flies. The racket itself has a wide face so catching is forgiving — even if you're a beginner. And when you want to pick up a ground ball, the scoop at the top lets you sweep it right into the net. No bending down over and over.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the catch and release work?
The racket has an elastic netting that holds the ball securely. You pull the net back and release — the ball launches forward. The other player catches it with their racket and does the same. It's like a slingshot combined with catch, all in one motion.
Is it easy for kids to learn?
Yes. The design is intuitive and the catch face is forgiving. Most kids ages 10 and up pick it up within a few tries. It's simple enough to learn but has enough room for skill development to keep it interesting.
Can we play it indoors?
Yes. The balls are lightweight and safe for indoor use — just make sure you have enough space. It works in hallways, basements, or larger rooms. Great for rainy days.
What's included in the set?
You get 2 rackets and 2 balls. Everything you need for two players to start playing immediately.
Is the netting durable with repeated use?
The elastic netting is built to hold up to regular play. Like any elastic material, overstretching may reduce lifespan. We recommend pulling back within a comfortable range to get the best balance of distance and longevity.
