We have had a lot of fun with it, always trying to see who will get the most hits back and forth for the day. We were looking for a gift for a young married couple, saw this, and decided to add it to the gift we were getting them. We hope they have as much fun as our family has had with them.

The flags are very well made. The `` book '' with the red and yellow cards and score sheets are great, too. My son will start using them tomorrow, so we will see how well they hold up. The whistle is not fancy, and has a softer sound than the Fox 40, so I purchased one separately. He was told in his certification class it would be good to have 2 whistles.

Very consistent ball placement and battery life has been good. ... Remote control is not a must but surely saves you some minutes. ... And cones can assist you to aim at right
5
Tennis Senior
A great machine for improving skills, especially when working on placement. Setting up to configure the ball projection to desired areas is relatively simple. The only minus was that the handle seems a little light weight, and appeared to have more `` play '' in it than I expected, given the actual weight of the machine.

Tennis Coach
It takes a little while to warm- up before starting. Maybe, to help a single user to get in position. So far, it is working well. Very consistent ball placement and battery life has been good.

Joe
A great friend for those who want to improve groundstrokes, volleys etc... when you do n't control your working schedule, or no one is around to play with. Remote control is not a must but surely saves you some minutes. Suggest 100 balls so you can count the shots missed and figure your percentage. Load balls in a way most will stay in the upper part of basket. This way you 'll prevent a bigger number of balls from satying in the basket as it empties. The all around court feature offers better result when machine is placed in one extreme side of singles marks( or doubles). If you place it in the middle, most balls will fall out of court either in on side or the other due to angle. If you are not used to play a lot, take it slow in order to prevent tenniselbow or armstress, which will cause you not to be able to practice for a few days. Take notes of best positions of ball machine, speed and height angle so that you do n't have to go through it again next time you practice. Ball hopper IS A MUST! And cones can assist you to aim at right places. So far I have improved my backhand more than anything else, but surely will practice my forehand too. Great machine!!

We got this for my high school son who is on the varsity tennis team at his school. He was looking for a way to get more practice time on the court. This machine is great. The adjustable ball feed rate, backspin, topspin, elevation, ball speed up to 70mph and random oscillation across the court is perfect. He can vary it from an easy workout to one that is extremely challenging and has him dripping in sweat after 30 minutes. Not cheap, but if you are serious about your game it's a good investment.

I think the feel is very similar to the Evolution. For the$, I highly recommend this ball.

Official sports equipment refers to items that meet specific standards set by governing bodies for various sports. These standards ensure that the equipment is suitable for competitive play and often include specifications related to size, weight, and material. Using official equipment can enhance the integrity of the game and provide players with a consistent experience.
Using official sports equipment is crucial for maintaining fairness and consistency in competitive sports. It ensures that all players are using gear that meets the same standards, which can affect performance and safety. Additionally, official equipment is often required for participation in sanctioned events and tournaments.
Many sports require official equipment, including team sports like basketball, football, and tennis, as well as individual sports like golf and track and field. Each sport has its own governing body that establishes the standards for what constitutes official equipment, ensuring that it is appropriate for competitive play.
To identify if sports equipment is officially sanctioned, look for certifications or markings from recognized governing bodies on the product.
