Title: Bounce Pass Challenge
Post by swiftcreek on Oct 4th, 2026 at 11:28pm
Here's a challenge for anyone who wants a go. The idea is very simple and is a great workout if your accuracy is off.

Throw a single tennis ball against a wall 10 times in a row as fast as possible. You don't necessarily have to catch it each time but thats much faster than picking it from the ground.

Distance can be whatever you like, but 10-15m works best for me. Obviously the closer you are, the less time the ball is in flight. But you also have less reaction time for the catch. For any "official" time, I would say no closer than 10m.

Time is measured from the moment of release to the moment you touch the ball on the return bounce of the 10th throw.

On the off chance anyone would like to compete,  I threw 29.02 seconds from 15m today. Finally broke 30 seconds haha

Here's the video

You can also just see how many you can catch in a row without letting the ball hit the ground.

Wow. I think there is no way I could beat your time. Based on the "1 Minute Speed Wallball Challenge" (https://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1745273361), which you could make 1st place if I extrapolate your video :), I would likely still be around the 1 minute mark with 10 throws.

Thanks for the link, I figured someone had to have done something similar.

Ill have to try the 1 minute challenge next time! Keeping that tempo and consistency for a minute will be hard.

Very controlled.  Great slinging!  That's a really nice spot to do it too.

Similar concept to this: https://slinging.org/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1745273361.
