Blue Slinger Bag
Hey. I've got an offer for a blue Slinger Bag tennis ball machine for around 200 €.
Has anyone used this tennis version for padel training? Does it work decently with padel balls on a short court, or is the heavy topspin/low height a dealbreaker for realistic drills? Worth grabbing at this price for solo practice, or better to pass for a dedicated padel machine?

It’s not great for tennis, will be awful for padel. The top spin will be a killer for padel practise.

I actually bought the blue one thinking it shouldn't be too bad but boy I was wrong. The speed increase increases the topspin also. If I set it to lob mode balls would land and spin so hard they wouldnt come off the ground for more like 2 ft going very fast.
I now have the green one which uses 2 wheels in which you can set it to play flat, back or topspin. That works amazing
