Sports Tutor Shotmaker Tennis Ball Machine
TOP OF THE LINE. The Shotmaker is our top-of-the-line professional ball machine. Its power and versatility will challenge players at any level, including professionals. The Deluxe model is our most versatile yet easiest-to-use Shotmaker. In fact, Shotmaker is used by tennis pros at the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Training Center in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
LONG TERM DURABILITY The Shotmaker's case is made of high-impact injection-molded plastic and powder-coated aluminum for strength and rust resistance. The electric motors are all commercial grade and maintenance free.
IT'S IN THE DETAILS Shotmaker also incorporates several distinctive features to enhance usability:
A single electronic panel controls all functions of the Shotmaker. It is conveniently located at the back of the machine about waist level to allow operation in a natural standing position. You can easily dial-in the tennis shots you want while observing the entire court in front of you.
Four oversized caster wheels for easy rolling on and off the court.
A protective all-weather cover is included with each machine to protect your investment.
A see-through, high-impact plastic cover provides extra protection for the control panel.
STANDARD MODEL The Standard model control panel is organized in two simplified sections.
The left side of the control panel controls the type of shot you want. Individual dials set Speed, Spin, and the Interval between shots, while simple switches control Power (On/Off), Elevation (Higher/Lower) and Remote (On/Off).
The right side of the control panel can be programmed to shoot balls to any or all of the three positions (A, B, C) shown on the tennis court diagram above the corresponding switches. For instance, to shoot to positions A and C only, push the position A and position C switches ON, and leave the position B switch OFF. To shoot balls randomly across the court push all three position switches to OFF.
Optional Two Function Remote Control
The Standard model can be upgraded with the optional two-function wireless remote control. The Ball Feed button alternately starts and stops the ball delivery. The Oscillator button alternately starts and stops the shot program. When the shot program is stopped, Shotmaker throws balls only to the one position where the program was stopped.
DELUXE MODEL The Deluxe model is our most versatile yet easiest-to-use Shotmaker.
Quick Set-Up
The Quick Set-up feature of the Deluxe model provides one-touch shot selection based on playing ability. Just push the button corresponding to your skill level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced), and the Deluxe model will automatically deliver a pre-programmed shot to the middle of the court at an appropriate interval. If you want something other than the pre-programmed shots, you can use the Quick Set-Up buttons as a convenient starting point, and then adjust the shot characteristics and shot positions with the easy-touch controls.
Easy Programmability
The Deluxe model can be programmed to shoot balls in a pattern of up to six shots (SHOT 1 thru SHOT 6), with each shot directed to any of seven different court positions (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) shown on the tennis court diagram, or to a RANDOM position. If a shot selector switch is set to OFF it will not be included in the shot pattern. Indicator lights show the active shot position.
For instance, if you want Shotmaker to shoot one ball wide to your forehand (for right-handers), then one ball down the middle, followed by a randomly placed shot, then set the six switches as follows: SHOT 1 to B, SHOT 2 to D, SHOT 3 to RANDOM, and the rest of the switches to OFF.
Shot Program Memory
The Shot Program Memory lets you store shot sequences for your favorite workouts or drills, and then recall them with the touch of a button. The Shot Program remembers every setting on the control panel including Speed, Elevation, Spin, Interval, and Shot Pattern. You can store up to nine Shot Programs that can be recalled at any time. This feature is especially useful in situations where there is more than one user for the machine, as each user can program in their own favorite settings.
Two Function Remote Control Standard on the Deluxe Model!
The Deluxe model includes a two-function wireless remote control. The Ball Feed button alternately starts and stops the ball delivery. The Oscillator button alternately starts and stops the shot program. When the shot program is stopped, Shotmaker throws balls only to the one position where the program was stopped.
Player Mode Standard on the Deluxe Model!
With the push of just one button, Player Mode simulates a player on the other side of the net. Just push either the Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced buttons, and Player Mode automatically picks an appropriate speed and spin, then changes both the side-to-side position and the depth of shots just like you were playing someone of that ability. For instance, beginning players will see more shots towards the middle of the court and more variation in depth of shots than will advanced players. And you are not stuck with only the standard settings, you can customize the settings by adding or subtracting more speed, spin, or elevation as you like.
Optional Multi Function Remote
The Multi-function Remote controls all functions on the left (black) side of the Shotmaker Deluxe control panel just like you were using the actual control panel. In fact, the layout of the buttons on the Multi-function remote is almost identical to the layout of the buttons on the machine's control panel, so there is nothing new to learn. And each time you press a button on the Multi-function Remote your Shotmaker Deluxe will beep to let you know it received the signal.
