Programmable Drills

Pre-loaded with the drills coaches use — dinks, third-shot drops, lobs, smashes, transition resets. Pick one, hit play, get to work.

Variable Speed

From soft dink-zone touch to overhead pace. Dial the speed exactly where you want it — beginner-friendly slow or pro-level heat.

Spin Control

Topspin, backspin, slice, or flat. Train against the same shapes you'll see in real matches.

Random Oscillation

Sweep left-to-right, front-to-back, or fully randomized. Real game movement, not predictable feeds.

App Controlled

Adjust speed, feed rate, spin, and pattern from your phone. No bending over the machine between every change.

All-Day Battery

Fully charged. Run multiple sessions back-to-back without a refill. Holds ~150 balls per fill.

FAQ

If your question isn't here, ask in the rental request notes.

Where do I pick it up?

Pickup location is confirmed when we approve your rental. Usually it's at the court where you'll be playing — we'll meet you there.

Do I need experience to use it?

Nope. We give a 5-minute walk-through every time. The app is simple — pick a drill, hit play. If anything goes sideways, text us and we'll talk you through it.

What's included?

The machine, a charged battery, a hopper of balls, the app pairing, and a 5-minute orientation. Bring your paddle and water.

Is there a deposit?

No deposit for the hourly rate. Full-day rentals require a refundable security hold, returned after pickup if the machine comes back in working order.

Cancellation policy?

Free cancellation up to 24 hours before your slot. Within 24 hours, half the rental fee is non-refundable.

Can I book recurring sessions?

Yes — just mention it in the notes when you book, or shoot us a note after your first session. Regulars get priority on weekend slots.
