Why buy a tennis ball machine?

Why should you consider buying a tennis ball machine?

Every tennis player from beginner to expert wants to get better and a tennis ball machine can often help. Practicing with a friend or against a wall can be helpful, but the secret to improving your tennis game is to practice particular techniques over and over. This repetitive practice is best done with a tennis ball machine. (You could hire a friend or a coach to hit the same type of shot to you over and over, but it would be boring for them and expensive for you!)

The best way to practice is to line up the tennis ball machine as if it's an opposing player. You can then set the behavior of the tennis ball machine in order to determine what type of shot you will be receiving. Test the placement and settings of the tennis ball machine in order to make sure that the device is serving the tennis ball in the way that you are expecting. Then, return to your side of the net. When triggered, the tennis ball machine will serve the shot over the net in nearly the same way every time. You can then practice returning a particular shot over and over in order to improve your technique.

It's important to treat the tennis ball machine like a real opponent. You should practice not only returning the serve from your tennis ball machine, but also the footwork necessary to get into place to return the shot. The best thing about the tennis ball machine is that it can serve accurately and won't get tired or annoyed like a real partner or coach might!

Be sure to use the tennis ball machine to set up realistic situations in order to practice your tennis skills. Think back to a game where you did not perform a tennis technique as well as you may have hoped. Use your tennis ball machine in order to reenact that shot so that you can practice returning it over and over in order to improve your technique. Once you have found the appropriate technique, practice returning shots from your tennis ball machine in the most repeatable way possible. If you can always return the ball but cannot control where the ball lands, you need more practice!

For me, my backhand has always been a bit weak and therefore it's a perfect opportunity to practice with my tennis ball machine. I set up various backhand returns in order to not only improve my technique, but also improve my strength since backhand tennis shots feel less natural to me. Since I started using my tennis ball machine, my backhand returns have improved dramatically.

I highly recommend practicing tennis with a tennis ball machine. It's a great way to improve your tennis skills, and will even allow you to have fun improving your technique and doesn't even require an opponent or coach! Buy a tennis ball machine and improve your tennis game dramatically!
