Grandson with autism loved watching it float in mid air, plays with it quite often. Long cord frustrated him because it would knot up all time, shot was the way to go .

It looked fun on the videos and so I ordered 6 so that all the 20ish year old kids could have one at Christmas. I instantly had buyers remorse and was worried it was going to be one of those gifts that would flop. As it turned out it was the highlight of Christmas morning the kids couldn't put them down. They're just as fun as they look in the ads.

It looks unreal from the videos online. How “string” could move like that. But it is all real, and oddly satisfying! I take it from my kids often, when they are not home, and play with the zip string. It is fun.

I bought these to go in my grandson’s stockings! I charged them up and made sure they work as advertised. We won’t know more until after Christmas but I predict they will have great fun!

When my 10 year old grandson unwrapped the zipstring on Christmas day he fell in love with the idea of this contraption. He actually prepped and threaded the shooter himself and started with the smallest string. he was engrossed in walking around with the lasso suspended in the air watching the shapes. he moved on to the next size and was thrilled to watch the bigger scale. When he fitted the largest string he was determined to float it on and off his uncle's head and giggled when he succeeded. I was delighted with his reaction and his concentration on the device did not wane for hours. He thought this gift ,[along with the buzzing magnets] was his favorite in 2024. I hope you continue to seek out these amazing and unusual products so I can continue to be the Nana who gives the 'coolest' gifts.
