Doggie Driver swings like a golf club to throw a tennis ball up to 100 yards. Go out and have a ball! Give your dog some chase-and-fetch exercise while practicing your golf swing and follow-through at the same time. The launcher swings like a normal club, throws a tennis ball up to 300 feet and even picks up the retrieved ball for you.

Pros:
All Weather
Best Uses:
Family Fun
Describe Yourself:
Beginner
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Our dog was anxious to get the tennis ball so it was hard to swing it without fearing that we would hit him. It is definitely a fun item but not for everyone.

We rescued a yellow Lab in April. The Doggie Driver was a Father's Day gift. It provides great entertainment and exercise for both Dad and dog...It is easy to use. We keep it on the front porch for easy access and it is very entertaining to watch the dog chase after the tennis ball.

The driver works great. My golf skills aren't great but I found the driver easy to use. Great distance on drive. Much further than a regular ball throwing device. Great product.

Not for Serious Golfers
By Dog's BuddyVerified Reviewer from California on 1/11/2008
Pros:
Fun Idea
Cons:
Doesn't work as described, Inconsistent
Describe Yourself:
Recreational player
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Ball releases too early and just rolls along the ground which our dog didn't find very exciting. Required a very odd swing to get the ball up into the air -- a great way to ruin your swing instead of practice it.

I bought this Doggie Driver for my Husband for Christmas, he loves golf and loves his two Golden Retreivers even more. This Driver is durable and works with any tennis ball out there. Looks like a regular golf club and the club can be used to pick up the ball and not have to bend over! Great gift for the golf lover who has dogs!
