Description
A paddle ball game that had a weighted base connected to a small bungee cord and a handball like ball attached to it, each player had an oversized plywood ping pong paddle with a wrist strap(so as not to wing the paddle at bystanders if you lost your grip) and took turns striking the ball on the recoil leg of your opponents hit.Great game until your buddy missed the ball connected with your elbow..ouch!!Wimbledon for 10 yr olds on Marigold Circle Great Fun!!!

I loved this game! I would play, (by myself of course) in my driveway for hours. I found a jokari set at Big Lots a few years ago and got it for my stepson. He didn't like it at all and it seemed to be much cheaper than the original.

I've been looking for info on this game for years, but I was spelling it wrong. We used to play for hours. This site is awesome.

I LOVED my jokari...would play in our culdesac for hours. I remember the plastic casing broke and underneath was a cement block.

I loved jokari! Would have blisters on my hand from playing in our driveway. I wish I could find one for my kids. We used ours so much that the ball would come off the string and fly down the street.
