The Titan looks like an amazing machine. My one criticism at the moment is their choice to use a zipper enclosure at the top. For a quality piece of kit that that, I'd rather see a more sturdy and longevic closure system like some locking clips or?

Hmmm, might be a little rattly. And slightly more bulky. I kinda see what you mean but it doesn't bother me.

As a previous slinger owner for over a year and current owner of spinfire v2, this is the first ball machine. I have come across that can give you a drill with variable spin. For example, for messing around on their App Store, you can set a forehand top spin to the deuce cord then a backhand slice out wide, then come into the net to put away the ball. This is very intriguing for someone that’s been looking for a machine that could simulate a lot more more variety from an opponent rather than just being fed the same type of ball speed and spin. The biggest downside to the slinger bag is manual adjustment and unrealistic top spin from the ball machine, it warped the ball the faster you have the speed set. The oscillator is useless as you can see where the machine will send the ball from due to external oscillator. The spinefire is a much better machine but I definitely cannot say paying over 2k versus $700 for slinger makes the spinefire 3X better. I’ll have to sell my machine if I seriously decide to buy the titan.
@ZeroLoveTennis5 ай бұрын

@@ZeroLoveTennis the spin fire, you can adjust feed rate, speed, spin, and trajectory, but then the setting remains in place unless you stop to adjust again whereas the titan seems it can adjust with each subsequent shot if so desired. Also, on the pinfire, you can choose linear feed, narrow feed, medium, and wide feed. You can also choose random horizontal and random vertical feeds, but the vertical feeds are not that useful as the machine doesn’t truly vary the depth due to the settings you place the machine under. For example, if you set to a high speed rate with heavy top spin, the machine will actually end up sending the ball deep, the court dimensions, not helpful for drills. I normally just set the machine on feed, sometimes medium feed, and if working on conditioning wide feed. Sometimes I’ll incorporate random horizontal feeds but random vertical feeds. If I wanna work on overhead, I have to manually change the settings, it’s easier write down what you want. Otherwise it becomes cumbersome. I’m having to manually figure it out.

The random feature is very cool. I'll do a deeper dive on it because you can set it to do random things within a certain window as opposed to totally random as well.

Random location will be as it sounds but you can set the intensity and height to be fixed and it will adjust accordingly to stay in. Very nice.

Wow... I was thinking of picking up a Slinger Bag at some point, but the Titan One is just SO much more versatile in every way. I ran into someone on an outdoor court recently using the Slinger, and chatted him up a bit; mentioning I was interested in picking one up... He was somewhat happy with it, but his biggest complaint was "the battery life." (Even with the extended battery/charger) How is the Titan One in comparison? Lastly... Where do you reside to be able to play outdoors this late in the season? I recall you making a "TennCom" reference in one of your latest videos, so my guess is Vancouver? I'm from Toronto, and the weather has been pretty decent here for Winter to hit outdoors... Problem is we don't have an abundance of "decent" public court to hit on (asphalt) none being regular club hard courts, and the one's that are shabby hard courts are VERY hard to get time on cause they're ridiculously busy with the locals that play on them daily and they spam the courts hard. Thanks, Time410s 👊
@ZeroLoveTennis9 ай бұрын
titan must be better. I can get good hours out of the Slinger but, keep in mind, I only use it on the same side as me which means much slower speeds. From further distances, it uses battery much more quickly. I generally use the Titan at high speeds from far away and it seems to last quite a bit longer than the Slinger would from the same distance. TennCom is just a homie. A fellow tennis persona that likes my content and I like his. We chat sometimes and have plans for some collaborations in the future but I am in California.

Literally every single person using my machine has felt this same exact way so it's an anecdotal thing. I don't think the level of a person and their opinion necessarily brings more or less merit to the experience. Whatever you notice matters most for you. This may or may not bother/affect you but if someone straight up just doesn't notice that then I'd say it's more so they just aren't sensitive to differences like that, regardless of their ability to adjust or not.

It looks nice. But such an overt hit piece on Slinger which lost so much credibility. Presumably paid for...!! Slinger Bag with Oscilator $650 Titan One $2,300 Thats like comparing a $30k car to a $90k car. Bit pointless.

I get this kind of message ocassionally and I feel like the point is lost on those who say similar things. The point is literally to compare the price difference, to show you what the price difference gets you so you can decide which makes more sense at the given price points. It's not to make the Slinger look bad. I speak honestly about how I used it and the value it can bring and I suggest getting one if you can and that's all you need from a ball machine. The only reason Slinger specifically was included is because it's a very popular machine and quite affordable, it's an easy reference point and an obvious comparison to make. What did you expect a cheap vs expensive video to be? It is designed to highlight differences so you can appreciate them because many disregard the Titan immediately due to the price. Well...here's a video showing why the price is justified. But I still say to get the Slinger if that makes more sense to you/is enough for you. I hope that makes sense.

@@ZeroLoveTennis No quite the opposite. The "point" is the entire piece was presented as a hit piece on the Slinger Bag. A real turn off. This would be fair enough if say you were talking about a price differential of 20-30%. But it's not. The Titan is 300% of the Slinger price. At the price point $2,300 of the Titan there are a slew of ball machines from established proven industry names. It would have made sense to contrast functionality to them.

We'll have to just disagree. I explained the purpose of the video, many people got the purpose of the video, the thumbnail says "best vs basic" and towards the end of the comparison, I break down what each offers and say to choose the one that works best for you. But you insist on this being a hit piece despite all of that, so...there's clearly nothing left for me to do but let you misunderstand or insist on what the intention was all along or net effect of the video is.

@@ZeroLoveTennis There ya go again. Yes we can agree to disagree. I'd simply point out that OVER 50% of the responses you got to this "review" noticed the exact same thing I did. It was BY FAR the leading feedback point. Many far more vociferous than me... Perhaps we are just all "wrong". Or perhaps you view your subscribers as so ignorant they think the Slinger offers similar functionality to machines almost 4x it's cost?? It just came across as weird and unessesary. If you feel the competition for this £2,500 machine is a $650 Slinger Bag such that it merits 10 minutes of negative marketing that's up to you.

I do want to test that one someday. It can't hold all the balls at once and it does telegraph where the ball is sending, though, since it is not an internal mechanism. Two cons I've heard from users that compare interestingly are - No ability to simulate hand-feeding balls from the same side of the court or even the T of the opposite court. The lowest speed setting is too high for this, and it is also limited by the limited maximum upward angle achievable by the proton. This isn't a deal breaker by any means but would be a nice option to have. - Lobs while possible with the Lob riser, are not the best in that you can't incorporate lobs with regular shots in a combined drill for ground strokes and lobs Both of which bother me. Lobs can't be thrown in because the storage mechanism sits on top, uncovered and the height is mostly adjusted but tilting the machine. But those could mean less to some people. Hope to test it someday myself.

$700 vs $2500. I'm not sure the marginal gains from are worth the huge difference in cost.
@ZeroLoveTennis3 ай бұрын
That is entirely up to the individual. For me, it absolutely is. For many, gaining a second of 0-60 speed in a car is worth the extra 20-60 thousand dollars. So the value of differences is extremely subjective and a difference of $1,500 hits everyone differently. For me, it's the difference between a very basic ball feeder to something closer to a tennis simulator. What about no machine vs having a basic one? Or an average academy vs the best? These decisions are entirely individual. It's not objective.

I don't see the relevance of doing a comparison review of a machine that's $600 vs a $2,100 machine. No shit the more expensive version is better, there's 10 ball machines in the same price point. This is the central concept the Market cares about: Why are tennis ball machines Still so expensive, and can they make a great one under $1,000. One is affordable and truly portable, and the other is not. I think yhe Titan is a failure of innovation and especially a failure of marketing. One company has a smart business plan, the other one does not.
@ZeroLoveTennis3 ай бұрын
The relevance is to show the price difference. Some people really struggle to get that but yeah, that's not lost on everybody so most people actually get the point. It shows you the top end vs the entry level. Maybe I could have titled it that way and possibly would in the future.
