The
Wilson Ball Machine is based on the same type of customer
research used to design Wilson tennis racquets. The result is
a ball machine that includes all the most popular features, without
being weighed down by unnecessary bells and whistles. It
weighs less than 40 pounds and is powered by an internal
rechargeable battery, yet meets the demanding performance standards
of Wilson. (Mfg by Sports
Tutor) |
Features of
the Wilson Portable Ball Machine:
|
Trajectories
Groundstroke to lob. So you can practice all the shots,
including overheads. |
Speed
Adjustable from 10 MPH to 70 MPH. The slowest speeds are
useful for younger players. The highest speeds are
equivalent to professional-level passing shots. |
Interval Control
Sets the time between ball throws from one ball every two seconds
for rapid volleys, to one ball every ten seconds. |
Spin
Adjustable for varying degrees of topspin or backspin. |
Ball Capacity
110 balls. Comparable to the capacity of the largest portable
ball baskets. |
Built-in
Oscillator
Delivers balls either in one position, or randomly across the court
so you can practice hitting on the run. |
Battery Life
Two to three hours per charge. Enough for a serious
workout. And if you do need more battery life there is an
optional External Battery Pack (see Personal Ball Machine
Accessories above.) |
Battery Charge
Indicator
Shows the state of charge of the battery. |
Automatic Time
Delay
Delays shooting balls for ten seconds after start-up so you can walk
to your playing position. |
Portable
Built-in-handle and towing wheels enhance portability. |
Charger
The Wilson Ball Machine comes complete with a battery charger that
will fully recharge the internal battery overnight. |
