   Why use a ball machine?

   1. A ball machine never gets tired and humans do.

   2. A ball machine shoots out realistic ball speeds comparable to a real player rather than feeding from a basket which is not realistic ball speed simulation.

   3. A ball machine misses much less than any tour player alive which is invaluable for creating mental toughness.

   4. A ball machine is a computer and can be set to feed balls at set time intervals of which a human cannot do perfectly over time. This is important for footwork and conditioning drills as this means the student is performing against perfect time intervals (a clock), of which one can effectively gauge actual time improvements when setting up goals to attain. A ball machine gives tangible evidence of footwork and conditioning improvement by setting up specific drill goals. This is impossible to do with feeding balls as a feeder is not accurate with time...but a computer is!

   5. A ball machine has a remote control that you can put into your pocket and start and stop the ball machine as needed. This is invaluable to a coach who understands the importance of efficiency. So much time is wasted on a tennis court when feeding and having to stop and go on the other side of the net to explain techniques etc.

   If your student is an audio learner then the coach can stand right beside them to give audio instruction. If your student is a visual learner then the coach can quickly demonstrate what a technique is visually supposed to look like. If a student is a kinesthetic learner then the coach can quickly help the student to feel what the technique is supposed to feel like by grabbing the students racquet and shadowing or executing the stroke in real time as the ball is fed out of the ball machine.. It's even better than having an assistant feeding balls for you as you just push a button!

   There is no faster way to develop technique...period! Every top 10 nationally and internationally ranked junior that Heath has ever worked with was developed using a ball machine along with real live match play of course. If you want to accelerate your own development or your student's development like never before then we cannot stress enough the importance of purchasing a ball machine. It will be your single most important investment other than subscribing to our site that you will ever purchase.
