A tennis ball machine is a tennis player’s teaching tool.  It is designed to help beginning players learn how to play as well as seasoned players. A tennis ball machine improves the consistency and accuracy of strokes by giving the player an option of a variety of speeds and random patterns to choose from. You can still choose to have a coach because a machine does not give you any feedback. The only thing the machine would be able to tell you are the percentage of accuracy of hits or the speed of the ball. If you are a beginning player and you would like to have someone give a little more feedback, a tennis ball machine would not be an adequate substitute. Make sure you utilize these features to help control your swing and improve your game.

When shopping for a tennis ball machine, you would need to follow the same actions as you would for buying a car. Compare, compare, compare. Compare features and prices across brands that you may or may not be familiar with and choose the one that fits your budget but still has all the features that you require. Make sure you are familiar with the types of machines for all levels of game play before you begin to compare.

Because the machine shoots the balls at a consistent speed, you can gain a more constant stroke along with confidence in your abilities. The most well known brands of machines are Wilson, Tutor and Lobster Machine.

The Most Well Known Brands of Machines:

Wilson features a trajectory control that lets you practice at different strokes and lobs as well as a spin control which allows you to control your back and top spins. Wilson’s speed ranges from 10mph to 70 mph which allows for even the most beginners players to master the sport.

Tutor features an oscillator that allows for changes in direction of the trajectory of the ball, allowing for footwork practice as well as different strokes.

Lobster Machines are most known for the durability, not for their price. Lobster’s tennis ball machines are some of the most expensive on the market, but they are designed as one of the best. They throw balls at a speed of 10 mph to 80 mph, which is perfect for a beginner or a young player or even intermediate and advanced players. It has a wireless remote, which you can keep in your pocket, for easier control of the speeds.

Be sure that the one you choose is cost effective as well as durable. If you decide you no longer want to play tennis, or injure yourself and cannot play any longer, you would not have wasted your hard earned money. Treat this like you would treat any investment because buying a tennis ball machine is a worthy investment to improve your tennis game.
