Timely delivery
Timely delivery, everything arrived without issues. Great design easy to follow instructions. Since Slinger would not ship to where I live , Puerto Rico , had to bring it by plane from North Carolina. To avoid hassle with TSA , I took out the lithium battery and brought it in my backpack with the terminals taped and in a ziplock bag. The Slinger bag I plastic wrapped it and arrived perfectly. Taking it out to the court soon to try it although I had already tried someone else’s who unfortunately had no idea where to place the machine and what settings to use. Everything is explained clearly in the instructions, so always read and take the time to test it

Worked great for a while
Worked great for a while. The battery failed over a year ago and there are still no replacements. The battery is wired directly into a circuit board so it’s not possible to get an aftermarket replacement. Its now just a very heavy ball hopper. So far a big waste of money and more money if I’m ever able to buy a new battery.

We love our new Slinger bag it…
We love our new Slinger bag and use it often (4hrs + per week). We do have a couple suggestions:
1. The descriptions of the buttons are confusing. Instead of “feed” perhaps interval length?
2. Using the included carabiner to keep the control panel cover open requires a hard stretch, so we added a second small carabiner and it is much easier to keep the cover open.
Overall we are so happy with our purchase. The bag is easy to wheel to our tennis courts and stays charged for as long as we want to use it (we have not tried to use it for more than 90 min). We have people of widely different abilities in our household and all find it great for stroke refinement. It is easy to adjust the speed and height of the ball. The higher speed has a lot of topspin but the lower speed sends a flat ball.

Hi Elizabeth,
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your family are enjoying your new Slinger bag and making the most of its features.
Regarding your suggestions:
We appreciate your input about the button descriptions. The term “feed” was chosen because it relates to the speed of the feeder plate’s rotation, which determines how quickly balls are 'fed' to the launching chute. However, we understand that terminology can be confusing, and we’ll certainly take your suggestion into consideration for future updates.
We designed the carabiner to be tight to ensure that it stays securely in place and doesn’t accidentally cover the launching chute or have slack to get caught in any wind and move the machine. We understand that this can make it a bit challenging to use, and we appreciate your creativity in adding a second carabiner to improve the experience for yourself.

Bad battery/ supply issues
My battery died in my unit about 6 months after I bought it. I inquired about batteries once a month for the better part of a year and was always told they would be in stock “next month.” After months of asking I finally requested to be notified when they were finally in stock again. I heard nothing until i checked one day and they were in stock again. No one notified me as promised. I missed the better part of a tennis season because I could not power my unit that was not even a year old. I would not recommend this product to anyone.

Hi Barrett,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. I want to extend my heartfelt apologies for the challenges you faced with the battery availability for your unit. I completely understand how disappointing it must have been to miss out on a significant part of your tennis season.
I want to clarify that we did send updates regarding the batteries: on January 16th, we notified customers about limited stock availability and expected more to arrive in 4-6 weeks. Additionally, on February 4th, we emailed that more stock had arrived and was available on our website. It’s possible that our emails may have filtered into your spam folder, as many customers received these updates without issue.
I’m relieved to see that you were able to place an order and received your replacement battery on March 4, 2025. Your feedback regarding our communication is invaluable, and we are actively working to improve our processes to ensure that our customers receive timely updates in the future. Your patience throughout this ordeal has been greatly appreciated.

Decent for the Price, but inconsistent
Fast shipping! The accessories that came with the bag (60x balls, Ball Tube) are subpar. The ball tube ended up breaking completely on the first day of use and I had to throw it out. The 60x balls are plastic/flimsy and do not simulate the feel of standard pickleballs like Franklin x40s and Selkirk Pro 1s. They also travel very differently from the launcher itself. They don’t go as far and tend to be short. I would’ve rather had the option to only purchase the slinger bag for less. Feels like the accessories were cheap additions included to mark up the price of the whole machine.
For the launcher itself, it works okay and does its intended purpose. The issues I’ve had with it is that it’s incredibly manual to adjust the launcher, you’ll have to lug around an additional accessory to oscillate the launcher from side-to-side, and there is inconsistency in the shots setup from the launcher. The inconsistency in shots have led to balls going straight into the net and getting hit in the face a couple times when practicing blocks at the net. Definitely wear eye protection. The battery lasts about three hours which is nice and it fits in the trunk of my Camry. Note that you won’t likely fit much of anything else in the trunk with it. Overall, it’s great for practicing shots with variability, but if you want consistency, I wouldn’t go with this bag. It’s slightly overpriced.

Hi Alex,
Thank you for your detailed feedback regarding your recent experience with our product. I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the broken ball tube and the issues you encountered with the included accessories. We included the 60 pickleballs with the launcher as a convenient way for users to start using the machine right away. In fact, when we began including them, we did not adjust the price—this was an added benefit. Your insights are incredibly valuable to us, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.
I'm glad to hear that the launcher itself is working as intended, but I understand how frustrating it must be to deal with inconsistencies and manual adjustments. We are always striving to improve our products and your feedback will certainly be taken into account.
Regarding the broken ball tube, please contact our support team so we can assist you with the replacement. We want to ensure you have a fully functional setup to enhance your practice experience.
