We had this crazy idea that quickly became a core mission for us: that everyone should be able to own a tennis ball launcher. We loved the concept of a tennis ball launcher, and always used them when we were at the clubs when they were available.
Warming up before a game, both mentally and physically, always has us at the top of our game. Problem is, they weren’t always available. Or easy to use. Or even good for that matter.
We knew that to make a tennis ball launcher for everyone, besides being simple and awesome, it would have to be both portable and affordable. So we got to work. And we couldn’t be prouder of the end product.

Slingers,
On behalf of the entire Slinger team - THANK YOU!!! We cannot express how grateful we feel for the support and feedback that you have shown us. While our time on Kickstarter has come to an end, this is just the beginning of a much longer relationship with all of you. Each one of you has a huge role to play in the future of Slinger and we are excited to share this journey with you, and to keep in touch every step of the way!
If this campaign has shown us anything, it is that there is a massive demand for Slinger and that demand keeps us going - stronger and stronger each day!
Over the past few days, we have received dozens of messages each day about Slinger both from backers and people interested in our progress. For that reason, we are excited to announce that we are going to make Slinger available for a short time on Indiegogo InDemand!
While the pricing on our Indiegogo campaign still reflects an early-bird price, the price has been increased, ensuring that each of you backed Slinger at the best possible price point.
Many of you are reaching out about the Remote & Rotating Platform - both of these items will be available via BackerKit soon. When they are available, you will receive an email letting you know.
Once again, thank you for your continued support. We look forward to keeping in touch and seeing you on the courts soon :)

Slingers,
We’re Back!
Thank you for standing by us as we navigated this process. We wish would could have sent an update and stay in touch, but we didn’t have that ability due to Kickstarter's policy.
We would like to publicly thank Mike and Joe from Dawson City LLC. for their flexibility and understanding!
We are full steam ahead and have 9 hours left to the campaign! Please share the campaign with your friends and help us end strong!
Thank you!

Hey Slingers!
Since our last update, the response towards both the remote and rotating platform have been overwhelming! We have each of you to thank for that since it was your input and feedback that encouraged us to make these products a reality.
When we first set out to create Slinger, our goal was to create a tennis ball launcher which everyone could use. We couldn’t be more proud of the end product, and the overwhelming response to this campaign shows us that you all feel the same way! With only 9 days left to our campaign, we turn to you to help us make sure that everyone knows about Slinger, by sharing it with your friends and family on Facebook, Twitter, etc… and entering yourself to WIN a FREE Remote and Rotating Platform!
Here's how it works: When sharing Slinger, use the hashtag #SlingerBag in your post. Before our campaign ends, we will select one backer who shared our campaign along with #SlingerBag who will win a FREE Remote and Rotating Platform! It's as simple as that. (Make sure your post is public so that we can see you posted it and enter you to win.)
Feel free to leave us a comment on Kickstarter, Facebook or Twitter to let us know that you shared :)
Share our campaign with #SlingerBag to enter to WIN!
Last but not least, some of you reached out to us with questions regarding manufacturing, shipping, etc… we are in the process of putting together a complete timeline which will clarify where we are holding, where we are going and everything in between.
Thank you for your continued support!

Many of you have reached out asking if Slinger is going to come with a remote. While we were not planning on it, due to the demand, we have gone back to the drawing board and incorporated an on/off remote into Slinger, giving you the ability to turn Slinger on/off from across the court! We have two stylish design ideas (see below) which we will be asking you to vote on in the near future - the bracelet or key ring remote.
Slinger Bracelet / Key Ring Remote
There is one other thing which you have all asked for, something which we repeatedly said we would not be able to do without increasing the size/weight of Slinger, but you kept asking, so we set out to find a way... and we did!
Meet The Slinger Rotating Platform!
Slinger - Rotating Platform
The way it works is simple, there are two plates - the top plate is designed to fit the Slinger, while the bottom plate contains a motor which will rotate the top plate, along with Slinger. This will provide a wider range of shot-types and really keep you on your feet! The platform will have a cable which will be connected directly to the electrical panel of the Slinger to give it power. In order to make this possible, we need 1,000 backers to purchase it. Leave us a comment and let us know if you want it!
As with everything in life, things cost money. After crunching the numbers, the remote is going to add an addition $14.99 to the price of Slinger while the Rotating Platform will be available for $95.
Both the Rotating Platform as well as the Slinger Remote will be made available via BackerKit, as soon as our campaign is over. Keep an eye on your inbox for more details.
