In the world of tennis training aids, tennis ball machines top the list in terms of functionality and effectiveness. However, particular models and brands offer vastly different features, and each design comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Some tennis ball machines — such as certain models of the Prince — are portable, offering a light enough weight for easy transportation across various terrains. The more elite machines are capable of impressive ball speeds, with the Lobster designed to eject shots at up to 85 miles per hour. A number of mid- to high-priced tennis ball machines offer customizable shots, allowing you to choose what angle, height, or depth the machine thrusts each ball; some models even have options for the type of ball spin you receive — including flat, backspin, or topspin. And the truly high-tech machines let you design a sequence of shots that you can save and practice again at later training sessions. By taking advantage of the features of a tennis ball machine, you can diversify your practice sessions and improve any stroke or skill you desire.
