Still running the ball down? Grab a hopper or a tennis ball machine, and turn that big point into a winning game. A tennis ball machine can help a tennis player of any age or skill level improve his or her game. Tennis ball machines help a player work on different serves and conditioning training.
The best part is, it can be used alone, so no opponent is needed.
Most tennis ball machines are portable and can be used almost anywhere. Tennis ball machines can even be taken along with the player to warm up before a match. Some of the options available on tennis ball machines are: spin variety, elevation control, high/low speeds, training two players simultaneously, and ball capacity.
Tennis ball machines are generally dubbed for a beginner or advanced player. Beginner tennis ball machines are very basic and teach the rudimentary skills and serves. Tennis ball machines for advanced players offer a lot more options to maintain fundamental skills and to improve upon one's game.
Beginner tennis ball machines can be found for as low as $199 for the Tennis Twist Tennis Ball Machine, and can go as high as $618.99 or more for the i-SAM Tennis Ball Machine. The lower priced Tennis Twist tennis ball machine is portable and weighs about 11 pounds. This tennis ball machine usually teaches specific strokes, and only holds 28 tennis balls. Due to the Tennis Twist's low speed of 15 mph, it is suitable for children.
The i-SAM Tennis Ball Machine is the top of the line tennis ball machine for beginners. It is also portable. It has a ball capacity of 250 balls. It is battery operated and the battery life is 2-3 hours before needing to be recharged. Unlike the Tennis Twist tennis ball machine, the i-SAM oscillates so that the player learns and practices movement on and around the court. The speeds also vary between 15-60 mph, so it's not suitable for younger children, but provides a superb practice for the adult beginner.
Advanced tennis ball machines offer all or most of the options of the beginner tennis ball machines, but tack on extras to keep the advanced player well rounded. The player will pay more for these extras, but in the long run will learn valuable skills without hiring the pricey instructor.
Advanced tennis ball machines range from $689 for the Lobster 301 Hybrid Tennis Ball Machine to a whopping $4000 for the Shotmaker Super Deluxe Tennis Ball Machine. The Lobster 301 Hybrid Tennis ball machine offers all the benefits of the beginner tennis ball machines, but adds features such as two ball settings and random oscillation. The two ball setting means that the tennis ball machine can be used to fire the same shot repeatedly, or set to make random shot patterns. Its speeds are between 15-70 mph with an optional spin adapter. This improves conditioning and enhances match performance.
The Shotmaker Super Deluxe tennis ball machine is the luxury tennis ball machine model. In addition to the aforementioned traits of tennis ball machines, the Shotmaker Super Deluxe shoots balls at speeds of 10-95 mph. It has a ball capacity of 300 and a 7-position memory with adjustable trajectory. Time intervals can be set on this tennis ball machine to simulate real play, and the entire machine can be controlled by a wireless remote control.
The easiest way to improve drive on the court is to invest in a tennis ball machine. They are portable and do not require two players to practice. Because tennis ball machines offer so many options, even the most inexperienced beginner can find one to help them learn, and the most talented player can use one to sustain their skills. While it can't rectify a foot fault, a tennis ball machine most certainly can improve upon serves and volleys.
