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.

Such a clear description of how to use the Slinger bag to improve our tennis shots. Insisting on taking notes is great for tracking our development. Bravo and a thousand thanks.
I have one now for two months. Best buy so far. Found outdoor balls don't fit in ball tube. Otherwise, picking up balls to return into machine is 'a pain'. Need to find another player to share this 'fun sessions '...lol!
I just tried the app yesterday and it’s pretty cool. However, the metrics used to describe strokes seem too technical and renders the analysis useless.
I often meet feeding problems with this machine. The balls don’t arrive regularly. Sometimes it stops for a few seconds and it affects the rhythm of the exercice. I clean it after every session but… Have you some tips to get the feeding kind of « fluid » all the time?
Slingerbag looks to be a great product, but doesn't do much good for a company to have a great product if it is not available to the public for purchase.. I have been waiting for a couple of months for Slingerbags to be available and here it is 5/1/2024 and still not available. How can a company have products for sale, and have zero inventory for months, and when I have called the company, they have no idea on when the Slingerbag will be available, even for pre-purchase I own a business, and know that if you have staff and a building, then you have expenses. How can you meet payroll, much less the rest of the costs for runnning a business, and also have a public traded company?
Hello, I wanted to inquire about the availability of the Slinger Bag. Could you please inform me when it will be back in stock? Additionally, I noticed there’s no option to set up a mail reminder on your website. Is there an alternative method to stay updated on restocks? Regards, Abdulla
Thats it? You can use the Ballboy setting to “practice your serve” by…catching the ball? So it helps you practice your serve by acting like a glorified ball hopper?!
Do you need to have the machine on your side of the court to get the balls landing closer to the baseline? I'm trying to understand how the balls come at you at the highest setting.
No, but you're going to get some heavy topspin. If you are not a 4.0+ player, this can be tricky to handle. The Slinger isn't perfect but it is a good training accessory for the majority of balls played (aka topspin shots) at the 4.0-5.0 level. It is also good for just beginner stuff like this, and is not a good ball machine for those with a UTR 8 or over.
For the ball to not get stuck I applied the "Professional-Grade Moldable Plastic Pellets by Polly Plastics" from amazon. I applied it on that panel in a slopy mold and glued it. To fix the issue of the ball not feeding I molded more of that noted mold and shaped the mold so that the crosswise shaft is further raised up a bit more than an inch and glued it on. On the dial section for adjusting the ball height from the luanch pad I appied 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 it on the 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 a heated metal hole on both sides) and that is where I hang my towel. There's more but this is enough for now. Thanks for letting me share.
Your job is amazing. Thank you for your advices. I am thinking about getting one and that kind of video will surely help making my ultimate decision 😉😉😃😃
We bought a Slimger 2 weeks ago and find it terrific. The storage space is large and having the hopper filled and ready to go makes it very practical. The pick up tube is a nice addition to make the experience seamless. Connecting with support is easy and their responses have been quick and helpful. Is the machine flawless? No. My major complaint is not having a system to signal that the last ball has been tossed. On two separate occasions I had the experience of assuming the hopper empty and as I walked toward it a ball was launched. Caution: as with a rifle don’t walk toward the machine directly in line with the launcher! My next quibble deals with the wheels. I would like to the same system you find on carry on luggage ( ie 4 wheels that can pivot 360 degrees) The current system is 2 wheels fixed in orientation making maneuvering cumbersome. One other suggestion would be the addition of a laminated card in the aiming section suggesting angles , speed and feed rates for different exercises. All in all a very good machine.
"Push the remote to launch the ball' needs to be rephrased to 'start the launching of the balls'. Just saying. Some people might think you have to push the button every time.
@@here2inspireU Yeah, I like mine, but it is definitely my practice machine for certain types of shots and nothing else. However, I think anyone 4.0 to 4.5 can benefit from learning how to handle the heavy top spin it produces, the spin simulates a much harder shot).
