I think a brilliant idea would also be to make a staff sling as well for this, you wouldn't really need to make a safety device for this one because it is slightly easier to get the whole general direction thing down.

Edit- Oh and Adsi you can get them here http://www.healthypets.com/gosling.html for 14.99.

2nd Edit- I think I know of another website that'd look good on the cool links section. Roll Eyes

It ain't braggin' if you can do it!

Here’s something interesting. We attended the America’s Family Pet Expo in Costa Mesa CA last weekend and found that about 70% of our sales were to women of all ages. All the guys thought it was cool, but it was the girls who really wanted it and paid. I didn’t see that coming, but it’s cool.

We just posted up links on our website of retailers. Take a look if you like, I’ll ask Chris if we can also add this website to our cool link page.

It shows my wife setting and loading a ball into our sling. Take a look on our website if you want to see how it works. I would appericate if you guys could give any suggestions or tell me what you think about our website. Thanks,

I'm wondering how the release works. It looks like the release cord would get caught or something.

The release cord allows a ball to fully exit the basket before the cord itself gets stopped by the catch assembly. Placement is very critical for it to work right....wait that is a trade secret

Please do not give us a hard time about our new product.

Didn't think anyone had.

So where can you buy these anyway ?
are they just in the states or have you got distributors in europe/uk ?

Just had alook at the new website - not sure about the soundtrack to the demo video - but a decent video.
Nice layout, clean and effective

Oh yeah and my offer to do a thorough official product test for this is still open ('course you'd have to send me one

Technically I'm the most experienced slinger in the world (not the best) based on several things that no other slinger has done.
So might look good on your website

(yeah yeah it's a shameless attempt to scrounge one, but hey might help salews - you never know

Hello, I just found this link and wanted to say “Hi”. I understand your point "curious_aardvark" of a 90 pound hairy mutt stealing your tennis ball. We are currently training our dog to just drop the tennis ball into the pouch. She almost has it down, but still needs a little work. I'll posting videos of that shortly. I'd think that being in a "slinging" forum that you'd ditch your plastic ball thrower for a sling Roll Eyes

Your design has my respect. I think it's very cool.

Plus, it's the very first commercially available sling I've ever seen anywhere. +1!
