This is the one to buy if you wish to get the most out of your arm and give the most to your dog
Size: 25in
The pro series must be made of a higher quality plastic than the original version, as the stiffness of the Pro series chucker allows for way more distance with less effort and greater control (for line drives, high arching throws, and bouncing grounders). Your dog will thank you endlessly for choosing the Pro over the regular (original) models. I have an old legacy original model that I keep in my truck for road trips that works reasonably well, though not as well as the Pro version. Here’s the thing: Before purchasing the Pro model, I ordered another original version (same length, 25”) and was instantly disappointed in how soft and leverageless was the chucker. Either my (original) original one (a Goodwill find) stiffened over the course of years, or the newly made “original” versions are now made with a softer kind of plastic. This soft chucker led to a disastrous throwing experience for my dog. Instead of thrilling at each throw and the lightning fast response of my dog, I hated every throw. I returned the “original” model and ordered the only 25Pro model I could find at 25” on Amazon… a glow in the dark version. There may be a benefit to the glow in the dark feature, but I don’t really care about that. It’s the leverage that I wanted and that’s what I got with the Pro version 25”.

Great design
Size: 25in
Ball is very durable yet soft. Whistles when you throw it and goes very far. Handle is ergonomic with a nice rubber grip. Both the launcher and ball glow green in the dark. My GSD loves it. She’s 75 lbs and the medium ball is fine.

Husband and dogs highly approve.
Size: 25in
My husband wanted us to replace one from a different company that broke. It had to have a glow in the dark ball, since he sometimes plays fetch with the dogs at night. He couldn’t love this more. Says it’s so much better than the other one, the whole thing glows in the dark and it throws farther. According to him, it’s the best ever.

Glow In The Dark Ball
Size: 18in
I gave this 4/5 stars because the ball is a little small for my dog size so I was hoping the sizing was easier to read. It could have been an error on my end. The ball is great though! It lights up nicely when it is out in the sunlight or under a light for a long periods of time, it lights up at night so you can play with your dog at night when it is cooler!
