How do tennis balls
machines work?
Tennis ball machines can help improve your tennis game. Both
beginners and advanced players can benefit from it. They are
often used by tennis trainers and coaches to assist with
drills and exercises in lessons. Depending on the model
there are tennis ball machines that work on batteries or
electricity. Basically the ones that work on batteries are
called portable and make it easier for personal use since
you don't have to look for a socket. Just transport your
tennis cannon to the court with enough balls and you are
ready to go. The more expensive tennis ball machines have
more features and options on how to feed the ball then the
cheaper ones. You can practice almost every angle or stroke
over and over for a real work out. Many have a remote
control too so u don't have to keep running back and forth
on the court.
Is
buying a tennis ball machine a good investment?
Tennis ball machines are an ideal sparring partner because
they can give you consistent shots over and over.
You can pinpoint exactly where to serve the balls and with
what kind of speed. Even balls with topspin or slice can be
specified in drills. By comparison you will probably get much
more practice from it then playing against your real tennis
partner (if he or she is available). This is especially true
for beginners and for kids who might have trouble keeping the
ball in play not to mention placing. Also compared to the cost
of tennis lessons a ball machine can be a good investment. Of
course it doesn't replace personal instructions and tips from
a coach but you will hit many more balls and in the end
practice makes perfect. Do keep in mind that the battery life
of a tennis ball machine become less and less over time. Read
on for more tips.
