I am Joe, founder of Slinger®.
As an avid tennis player I love to workout by playing tennis a few hours each day.
However, I found myself consistently challenged to nd regular tennis partners. One day I decided to try the club ball ma-
chine. Ugh! It took me 30 minutes to drag it to the court and locate cables and power. Then I had to gure out how it actually
worked. Frustrated, I gave up. No tennis for me that day!
This experience gave me the idea to incorporate a ball machine into a functional tennis trolley bag. This was my eureka mo-
ment that started the development of Slinger®, a lightweight, transportable, versatile and
aordable Tennis Ball Launcher.
All my tennis gear in one place, together with a ball launcher that can be set up anywhere within a few minutes. My new best
friend and 24/7 tennis partner!
Thanks for being on this journey with me.
Enjoy Slinger® - Your 24 / 7 Tennis Partner.
Joe Kalfa
Founder
I am Mike, CEO Slinger®.
Having been involved in tennis all my life as a player, coach and business leader, I know rst-hand the challenges faced by our
sport of retaining players, playing this great game.
Together with my management, product and sourcing teams we have taken Joe’s concept and brought it to life in our Sling-
er® Slingshot T-One Tennis Ball launcher.
Thousands of hours of design, prototyping and both o and on-court testing have gone into making your
Slinger® Launcher a performance piece of tennis equipment and providing you with an ideal partner for practice sessions,
court drills or workouts.
Thanks for your support. If You Like Tennis… You’ll Love Slinger®.

The SLINGSHOT T-ONE LAUNCHER operates to its optimum level when using
Slinger Tennis Balls. Please avoid using either old or soft tennis balls as this will reduce
performance of the Launcher.
The SLINGSHOT T-ONE LAUNCHER is designer for use by tennis players of all ages and abilities.
The SLINGSHOT T-ONE LAUNCHER weighs 15kg or 33 lbs (excluding tennis balls). It is one of
the lightest performance ball launchers of its kind on the market. The trolley bag is versatile and
functional and can carry all your tennis equipment. The launcher can be set up and ready to use
in minutes.
The SLINGSHOT T-ONE LAUNCHER ball speeds ranges from the Ball Boy low speed of
10mph/16kmph to an advanced player speed of 45mph / 73kmph ball with tournament level
topspin.
The SLINGSHOT T-ONE LAUNCHER features include:
•Smart-enabled tennis trolley bag with a variety of functional pockets.
•Variable ball feed rate between 2 and 7 seconds.
•Variable ball speed between 10mph/ 16kmh and 45mph/ 73kmh. Note the higher the
speed the greater the topspin eect.
• 144 tennis ball capacity ball hopper: We recommend using 72 balls for optimum
performance.
• Lithium Ion battery. Note: Battery Life depends on usage. If used on medium settings
including Oscillation then the battery life is up to 3 hours and this reduces to 1.5hrs when
used at maximum speed, feed and oscillation including cell phone charging.
• A multi-country, smart, fast charger. When the battery is fully charged the power is
reduced to an occasional ‘pulse” to protect the life span of the battery.
•Integrated USB charger for mobile/cell phone charging.
•A remote control to operate both the Launcher and the Oscillator remotely with “On” and “O”
control.
•An elvation bar oers between 10 and 40 degrees of ball elevation.
•The Slinger Oscillator (Oscillator is sold separately or in a bundle) is designed to house the
Slingshot T-One Launcher on top of it and provides side-to-side oscillation.
