PLAYMATE Playmate Volley Ball Machine

I work with the local high-school tennis team and have used this machine for many years. As someone said above, it is not a small machine. However, it will fit easily into the back of a RAV-4. It is a sturdy well built piece of equipment that can take a beating. Ive used other machines but this one excels in how quiet it is you wont disturb other on the court beside you and the simplicity of the control board. Other brands have overly complicated digital controls to adjust feed rate, mph, spin, etc. With the Playmate, you can get just the setting you want in seconds. You can set it up to practice high loopers, low short balls, volleys and even service returns. This ease and versatility is what separates it from the pack. Buy this machine.

Recently purchased the Playmate Volley Ball Machine based on a recommendation from a local tennis coach. Although we have had it for a short period of time, we use the machine every chance we get with little or no negative affects. Although the machine is a little larger than expected, it is still a relatively compact package unit with some great features. I wouldnt say that the unit is easily portable. Still need to two hand carry it out of the car and up and down stairs with some muscle. The battery disconnects easily and can be carried separately recommended, if ramps are not readily accessible near courts. Features: - Battery Operated. The removable battery pack is a great feature. Being able to detach the battery pack makes the ball machine a little easier to handle lighter. The battery charges with a standard home outlet and has indicator lights red/green to let you know when the battery is ready.

It is a great machine for non-commercial use, just as stated in product manual. However, battery connector to the machine and to the charger will not last after many times of pulling off and plugging in from the look of the way it is designed.

THE REMOTE IS THE BEST ON ANY NBALL MACHINE. YOU CAN NOT CHEAT BECAUSE IT CAN BE SET UP TO RANDOM
