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.
Hi Ashley, thank you for your slinger videos. Can I please ask you whereabouts to do you place these starting gates? Is there a way to measure roughly where to place the cones - say off the baseline. So we can repeat consistently from session to session. Much appreciated!
@@christosthegreek a good place to start is halfway between the service line and baseline for depth. I would suggest starting with a width that is challenging but not unrealistic. Try a space of 3 racket lengths, if it’s too easy try 2, if it’s too tough try 4. Once you find a good level of challenge, repeat for a few sessions until you find it easy then reduce the size! Happy hitting 💥🎾
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.
Thank you so much for these videos. I haven’t received my SlingThing yet, but you have given me enough ideas and info to keep me panting and improving for the foreseeable future!
Great video and good consistency in your strokes! However, I would like to see long balls at faster speed for training. The speed setting is very low and I assume that with higher speed the ball got unrealistic much topspin.
Nice tip wit the goal posts. I have cones set up and aim to hit them but I think aiming into a slightly larger area is more realistic and like you said you can always make the area smaller as you get better.
I would love to do these drills if only my bag would hold charge for more than 40 minutes. I got my bag less than 4 months ago and the battery all of a sudden would not hold charge for more than 40 minutes of operation. Slinger says the battery is not under warranty and wants me to buy another battery for $60. Kicker is that its all sold out and its on back order. Ever wonder why people would be buying batteries if the slinger ad is true about the machine would operate for 3.5 hours under one charge? Nope. the battery is defective and they won't admit it.

Let me know if you have any questions guys!🎾💨

Excellent exercises

Love your drills. Thanks! Super pumped to get my Slinger Bag and get rockin on these!

Very helpful! Will let you know how it works for me.
Nice tip wit the goal posts. I have cones set up and aim to hit them but I think aiming into a slightly larger area is more realistic and like you said you can always make the area smaller as you get better.
Absolutely, using a cone as a target is incredibly tough and can be demoralising, using goal posts is great! Happy hitting!💥🎾
Great 🎾👏
Ashley, Excellent videos on the Slinger Bag. Do you have any recommendations for coaching a high school Tennis Team using a Slinger Bag?
great video
Where is the bag placed/ service line?
Awesome
Best ball to slinger? Artengo?
You have a beautiful swing. Please break it down.
These look to be great drills, but they all hit well inside the baseline. Won't that affect the "stroke memory" process?

I ordered one but told the lead time is more than 6 weeks. I cancelled it
I ordered mine 3 weeks ago and they shipped it today! Expected in 4 days.
@@vitaliyburlaka691 i got it last Friday. so it took more than 7 weeks. whatever, I got it and now it is worth waiting as it is really good.
@@pnfei the shipping time is honestly not acceptable. I’m sure covid is what is making it difficult but still..
