    I bought a Slinger Bag in 2022. Works great and is easy to use if you want to work on your game or merely for the satisfaction of smashing groundstrokes. I find the quality is high for a "budget" machine. (zippers, wheels, battery life...) This season I've switched to pressure-less balls and find they spin less on the fastest setting. I use it approx 2 hrs per week, no arm issues here. I have the oscillator but rarely use it, one more thing to lug around IMO... Overall I highly recommend it. Also, huge props to Jonas, this channel is excellent!

    I have one and not many people can hit well with it at max settings because of its spin. Especially if you use pressure less tennis balls which are even heavier than pressurised tennis balls.
    This allows you to know that no matter what level you are you can find a good enough setting where it matches your level.

    I haven’t really tried it from behind the net. I’ve always set it up slower speed in front of the net because the spin is no joke lol. Couldn’t beat it for $500 to get solo workout or rep out a shot.

    Thanks Jonas. Have had a Slinger for over 2 years. Excellent for fine tuning technique and a cardio workout with the oscillator. Best used with pressure-less balls however hitting too long with them can start to cause some arm stiffness. On avg I use the machine about once a week so I have had my money's worth. :)

      Thanks for the comment, Anthony. Yeah, cardio and technique are two pros with a ball machine

    Bought mine in 21. Overall happy with the purchase but it does have a few design issues some of which are user-fixable with some effort and patience. Most notably, there's always up to 10 balls left in the hopper when the machine has "run out".
    For users complaining about the topspin, please lookup the difference between single-belt and dual-belt ball machines. Slinger is a simple and affordable machine. The only way to reduce topspin on a single-belt (where ball speed and RPM aren't independently adjustable) is to dial back "speed" and position the machine closer to the player.
    Hope that helps. Has its flaws but worth the money for me.

    Mine has worked great since 2020. I'm on my 4th ball tube tho (previous 3 replaced under warranty and were of an older design)

    I have the older version. The remotes were not great quality and needed replacement, buttons got stuck/wore out. But otherwise no issues, I enjoy it. By slowing down the speed and altering the launch angle, you can cut down on the heavy topspin a little if you're more of a beginner to intermediate level. Slinger just released a companion app with a paid subscription option for swing/movement analysis via camera phone footage. I have not tested this yet. It's available for android as well as apple, unlike Swingvision.

    Anyone knows when they will restock? Has been sold out for months

    Do you know when they might start making them again! I feel like it’s been sold out for awhile now.

    @whitemarble8051 4 месяца назад

    I have one, and this machine I can hardly recommend to any beginner. It only has one spin wheel, so all the balls coming to you with super strong topspin, even you set to low speed. However, if you are a 2.5+ player and want to practise baseline skills with more intensity, it is really a solid machine for low budget.

    I love my slinger. Amazing workout as well

    Had it for less than a year before selling it about bought a hydrogen proton. I guess I am on the lazy side. Taking the machine in and out the car was a hassle, and monkeying around with knobs and latches by trial and error was a big headache. Used less than 10 times in a year. But it is a very affordable option, by a big margin, and some of the more expensive ones are also inconvenient.

    I looked at one for my club when they first released. It only shot out balls with top spin but didn’t have a function for back spin or flat balls. Does this updated version have those functions?

    Looks like it still feeds a very spin-heavy ball...which I'm sure can be useful.

    I think they are poorly made. Mine lasted about 2 years and broke down. If I were to do it over I'd pay a couple of hundred more for a better machine that is built to last.

    Bought a ball machine for the second time last year. Have used it twice.
    Convenience over everything else when it comes to deciding on a machine to buy. Lugging out massive equipment is not fun.
