Fido does a lot of important things for you. He makes you feel better. He can fetch you beers. He keeps your feet warm at night. Playing catch with him (or her) is one way you get to return the favor, but it has its downsides. The ball gets slimy. You throw out your shoulder. You barely have enough time to take a sip of your beer before he’s back and panting for more. Enter the HyperDog Ball Launcher. It’s basically a giant slingshot designed to be used for tennis balls and made out of steel. Shoot (accurately) up to 200ft and then enjoy a few moments of peace. When the ball does get returned to you, pick it up hands free and avoid the slobbery kiss on your palm. Even if you don’t have a dog, there are plenty of other good uses for a slingshot of this caliber.
