Highly recommend this - beginners to more experienced.
Purchased this for fun, fitness and wanting to get back into tennis. The Player machine goes superb, as described. As someone getting back into tennis - you will love using it ! It's robust, built solid, but can still be lifted in/out of the car. Different drills make it suitable for beginners to the more experienced. As someone getting back to tennis I can see this machine will be fit for purpose for many years yet as you can adjust the speed and drills to whatever you want to work on next. Easy to control with the drill maker app. I've used it this past week and my forehand and backhand have drastically improved due to the machine being able to consistently deliver balls to location and height, so you can work on your mechanics and get your technique right. The drill maker app easily connects and you can change drills by pressing the drill you want, even if the hopper isn't finished. Alternatively stay on the one drill until the balls have finished. Plug in charger simple and straight forward. Arrived very well packaged. I must say, great communication had with Spinshot before and after purchase. Very happy to recommend.
Owing to the time of year the kids have dominated the spin shot. They love it and so do we because they’re not annoying us. Seriously it is better than we expected.
I love the Spinshot Ball Machine. I have had the lobster and this one far exceeds my experience with the lobster. The customer service department has been top notch!
This was a gift to my wife and myself for our birthdays. Even the 1st time using it, it was intuitive and super fun. We used it for about 1.5 hours on a full charge, without any sign that the battery was going to die. This tennis ball machine appears to be really well built and worked exactly as advertised. I had a question that I emailed to Spinshot customer service and it was answered same day, within a couple of hours. I am very satisfied with their support.
Great machine. Just got this a few days ago and went out with my wife and kids and played with it. Our first impressions are extremely positive. I have to say that their customer service is second to none. They picked up the call soon and resolved all my questions within a day.
Here are the things I like about this machine:
Really easy to set up, preset drill are well thought-out and fun.
App is good as well, takes sometime for getting used to it. You can easily customize the drills, thats the awesome feature I didn't even consider before.
Loved the ability to practice and focus on one stroke at a time.
Machine handled the old tennis balls just fine.
Well built.
They can improve a few things:
The wheels are a little small, worked fine on the court. I didn't try it from my car to the entrance of the court which has short grass. So far I carry the machine on the rough surfaces and grass
Battery takes about 6 hours to charge. Doesn't impact much as I don't need it unitl the next day for practice.
Plastic panels that are used to hold balls are a bit flimsy
Some way to know how much battery charge is left.
I would definitely recommend. Hope this lasts for years and years. My kids love this. I already see improvement in their game. They don't have to pay someone just for the drills. So far so good.
They say if you buy quality you only cry once... This is an expensive machine, but it is extremely well built and I expect it will perform well for a long, long time.
I bought this primarily for my boys—10 and 15. They absolutely love it. Makes practice fun! They usually chose the full variable mode—the thing throws balls all over the court and at various speeds. A great workout and a technical challenge for them.
The iPhone app works great for controlling the machine. They can do it themselves—or I can switch things up for them while I’m shagging balls.
I bought the Player for my husband's birthday and he loves it. He plays inter club and its got all the features and drills that he needs. Really happy with it overall.
We are so impressed by the power of the Plus2 high speed ball machine. Even with lots of top spin the balls still have plenty of speed. We bought an extra battery and the external battery kit so we can play for the whole day.
