Swingball with a metal spiral and spike - available in the UK?

[legalalien]

When I was a child we had a very robust swingball set, which you hammered into the ground, and which had a metal - not plastic - spiral thing at the top. I'd really like to buy one (I'm in London) - we have previously purchased a standard one with a plastic base and plastic spiral thing - it's just not as robust and incredibly frustrating. I've found one online in NZ www.outtoplay.co.nz/product_info.php?products_id=7998 but don't really want to double the price by paying postage! Does anyone know whether they sell them here in the UK?

TIA

Have a look at this oneARGOS

Or this one Amazon

Thanks Mel. From the look of it though, these have plastic spiral bits at the top? We have a mookie junior swingball with one of those plastic things, and the ball /cord seems to get stuck a lot (maybe I just got a dud one...)

I agree that the metal spiral bit is much better. You could try ebay as there are some new metal spiral ones there (I think the seller has a shop called sports locker)or from the USA there's an all metal one like I remember we used to have on www.shapeupshop/games/tetherball. Good luck!
