Hiyas from California
Mar 13th, 2018 at 12:46am
 
Hello everyone! It’s great to be a part of the forum.  I’ve been reading for about 6 months, and have just started slinging tennis balls around for a month.  There’s a lot to learn here, and I hope to contribute in a worthy fashion.

And welcome from Al. 

We encourage people to post pictures of their slinging adventures, if they feel like it.  This is an international forum, so it's nice to see pictures of other places that you may never get a chance to visit.

Here’s what I use for slinging tennis balls. 28” five strand jute split pouch. 30” single strand woven pouch cotton clothes line. 30” four strand jute split pouch. All pouches are 5”.  The cotton one is what got me interested in slinging. I saw some instructable on paracord survival for making this type of sling.

Nice slings. I still haven't made one of those woven paracord ones. They are often people's starter slings but I've never actually tried one out.
