Company milestones to date include achieving pan-continental global distribution in 37 countries including all major tennis markets such as the USA, Japan, UK, Central Europe, India, Middle East, Australia, New Zealand and several South American markets, as well as having a brand footprint on all major continents. Slinger Bag has signed global distribution agreements lasting through to 2025 worth $200M at consumer retail value including a large-scale deal with global tennis giant Dunlop. Over 3,500 Slinger Bag units pre-ordered from a crowdfunding initiative have been delivered, while as of October 31(st) 2020, 11,250 launchers have been shipped from the Slinger Bag suppliers in Asia with a further 10,000 currently in production.

Slinger Bag is now recognised as the world's leading tennis ball launcher and its dramatic impact on the global tennis market and global tennis playing community is underlined by widespread media acclaim in tennis, sports and lifestyle national press plus the involvement of over 150 global tennis market influencers with a social media reach of over 140 million fans.

Slinger Bag enables tennis enthusiasts to get out on court to play at any time without the need to find a playing partner - whether that be at their club, local park, on their driveways or in any other available open space. Slinger Bag is lightweight, wheeled like a trolley bag, and easily transported in the trunk of the smallest saloon or sedan car.

This proprietary design empowers players to set up and start launching balls within minutes, and to control both the launch speed and the frequency of the balls using two customizable dials. The angle of elevation can be varied to suit groundstrokes, lobs or even, in the Ball Boy mode, to practice serves. Slinger Bag is lightweight at 15kg/33 lbs. and multi-functional, holding racquets and other gear, 72 tennis balls, and has pockets for storing wallets, keys, a towel and water bottle and is impressively affordable.

"We are delighted by the progress Slinger Bag has made in such a short period. Our impressive pace of growth has been assisted by the fact that tennis players and the tennis market have been really quick to see and understand the benefits of this game-changing product. The raft of new commercial associations we have put in place means that we have been able to establish a global footprint - especially in all the key tennis markets. We still have plenty to do and more territories to cover and are particularly keen to develop grass roots associations and marketing initiatives that can actually help support the growth of tennis participation globally," says Mike Ballardie, CEO of Slinger Bag. " Since our official commercial launch in April 2020 we have been head down focused on building our brand awareness, driving our US sales through our direct to consumer channel and expanding our global footprint through handpicked, market-leading distribution partners. The results are a testament to our executive team's vision, strategy and execution and underscore that we are on track to deliver our ambitious growth targets for Slinger Bag in both the short and longer term", he concluded.
