“I’ve rarely had such an effective (and open-scheduled) practice partner, and I’m noticing dramatic improvements to my game with just an hour or two a week. If you’re a public court player looking to up your game, you might want to grab one too.”

“Fit in my 40s: this tennis ball launcher’s got me running like a jackrabbit”

“It’s great to have this unique piece of equipment which has made social distancing practice very easy. We’re looking forward to introducing them to the practice courts at the event”

“I’ve recently been hitting with the Slinger Bag. It’s great to have this unique piece of equipment which has made social distancing practice very easy.” – Jamie Murray

“A crowdfunded device from across the Atlantic, the Slinger Bag tennis-ball launcher aims to solve players’ biggest problem: finding an available practice partner who won’t a) humiliate you, or b) waste your time by dumping every other shot into the net.”

“The Slinger Bag is an alternative that can be set up by one person in a few minutes. It can hold and fire 72 balls when closed, or 140 when open, and is styled like a lightweight wheeled suitcase so you can easily trundle it to the court without anyone to help.”

“The Slinger Bag is the revolutionary, portable ball launcher for tennis players of all abilities, offering a 24/7 training partner that ensures you will never have to miss a day of practice again.”

“In essence, this portable tennis ball launcher became my 24-hour playing partner who was, and still is, always up for a game – even when new Last Dance episodes landed on Netflix. Simply plug it in, charge it up, load it with balls and you are good to go.”

“Slinger is the most practical of the lot as it has the most potential to improve your game. To advance your skill level you need to do drills and repetitions. Without that you are going to stagnate. And practice and time spent on court is the key. Slinger provides you with a practice partner you can always count on, who will never be late or grumpy. With a more budget friendly price tag, Slinger Bag is designed to allow almost anyone to own a decent tennis ball launcher. Best of all, it looks nothing like a tennis ball launcher!”

“It’s portable – like a medium-sized, zippy shopping trolley – and powered by a rechargeable battery so it can be used on any court, indoors or outdoors. It’s designed to suit a wide range of playing standards, from beginner to advanced, capable of holding up to 144 balls, firing them at you from two to 10-second intervals and at a speed of up to 72.5mph.”
