We Bought a Slinger Bag! ...First Impressions

We cut the red ribbon on our latest tennis toy, the slinger bag! We go over ship time, price we paid, and our initial thoughts on quality and usability. More to come!

For the ball feeding from the Slinger machine to not get stuck I applied the "Professional-Grade Moldable Plastic Pellets by Polly Plastics" from amazon. I applied it on top of the rotating cross panel. I shaped the mold to have four vertically crossed mold then placed it on top of the crossed panel and have placed a glue to adhere permanently. This will help fix the issue of the ball sometimes not launching and instead will keep a regular steady feed flow. On the dial section for adjusting the ball height from the launch pad I applied a white "Fine Paint Marker for Rock Painting-Stone, Ceramic, Metal, Glass, Wood,Set of 6 Paint Pens High Volume Ink High Volume Ink for DIY Craft" from Amazon. I applied the white marker on the etched black line marker for better visibility, even from a distance. On the opening of the bag from the top entrance to place the racket I placed an elastic fiber string crosswise (made two holes on each side with a heated pointy metal) and that is where I hang my towel. There's more but this is enough for now. Thanks for letting me share.

Thanks for the review, guys! Looking forward to those never before seen drills :)

You're welcome! They'll be wild.

The SlingerBag is great for singles groundie practice. But it won't make you a better doubles player because you can't practice hitting junk balls and doubles is ALL ABOUT junk balls, and Eastern or Continental grips, not semi-western top spin bullets. You can use it to find your best volley grips, but that's it.

Wondering if you bought the Trinity balls as they suggest, or are you using a mixture of your own?

[@trashbintennis5550]

Pulled the trigger on the Trinity Balls! Got a sweet discount with our "play your court" account

Haha nice fun video. Just got one also. Trying to find the sweet spot on the settings

[@siddrajankicks]

I like the vibe guys. Nice video :) Shoot - our club just got a slinger bag and I want to make a review now!

[@LiamApilado]

Great video! I have a question. Do you think the ball boy feature is a bit fast? I feel like it looks a bit fast, making you feel rushed on the serve. I mean i know you dont need to grab every ball but still dont one hitting me mid serve.

[@trashbintennis5550]

Yes, it's definitely on the faster side! It also comes at you with quite a bit of topspin on that setting making it a little difficult to corral with your off hand.

[@denniskaparunakis3155]

I practice with the slinger bag beside me and I picked the balls manually... that gives the time I want

[@akio2730]

It’s definitely too fast, particularly if you need to focus on improving your serve. I prefer to grab each ball from the Slinger that I put close to me.

[@LiamApilado]

@@akio2730 i feel like it was a feature they discovered when it was finished and not something they purposfully designed to do.

[@DirkMade]

Fun review. I picked up a slinger too and loving it so far.

[@yusofahmad50]

How much did you pay for this great tennis toy?

[@trashbintennis5550]

Full MSRP..$590. Although it was paid for with dirty gambling money thanks to tom brady and the buccs!
