Do you have your Slinger Bag yet? If not, it’s probably time to give it a try.
When it comes to tennis ball machines, Slinger Bag has changed the game. In the company’s own words, it has developed “the most portable tennis ball launcher ever.” It is a ball machine that doubles as a tennis bag, with space for rackets, more than 140 balls, and whatever other equipment you might need.
Although the bag/ball machine weighs 33 pounds, it is easy to tote around with a handle and wheels that make it basically like a suitcase.
Perhaps the best thing about the bag is its versatility in terms of ball-feeding. There are all kinds of various settings for speed, spin, and launch angles such that you can work on whatever specific shots you want. It also comes with an oscillator that you can place under it so that the machine moves around while it is feeding balls and can run you all over the court as if you’re going up against a seasoned pro.
In January, Slinger Bag received a Special Recognition Award from the UK Tennis Industry Association at the TIA UK’s Innovation Awards.
“We are delighted to have received the innovation award from the Tennis Industry Association,” said Mike Ballardie, CEO of Slinger Bag. “It’s brilliant to be recognized by the industry as a product that will change the landscape of tennis across the UK and globally, giving players the power to train on their own terms. It’s a testament to the brand’s hard work in developing a best in class the product–one that meets the needs of players, so they can improve their game.”
There is no doubt that players of all skill levels can improve their games with Slinger Bag. You may start with beginner settings–slow speed, no spin, and a high launch angle. But soon you’ll have it firing balls at you with plenty of spin as it moves from side to side on the oscillator.
Slinger Bag is changing the game and if you give it a try will undoubtedly change your game, as well.
I’ve seen it in action…it really works!!
