I am Joe, founder of Slinger®.
As an avid tennis player I love to work out 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 machine. 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 led me to the idea of incorporating a ball machine into a functional tennis trolley bag. This was
the eureka moment that started the process of developing Slinger®, a lightweight, transportable and versatile
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.

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 keeping 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 Slinger® 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®.
