Sports Tutor Tennis Tutor Plus Player Tennis Ball Machine
Tennis Tutor features an electronic control panel which gives you fingertip control of ball speed, trajectory, and ball feed rate (the time interval between ball throws). Ball speed ranges from a gentle toss for children to world-class speed. Ball trajectory can be set anywhere between groundstroke and lob, while ball feed rate adjusts anywhere from 1-1/2 to 10 seconds. You can set Tennis Tutor to repeat shots you need to practice, or to oscillate and direct shots randomly across the court. Tennis Tutor also features an exclusive anti-jam ball feeding mechanism, and a 10-second start-up time delay to give you time to get to your side of the net.
Tennis Tutor Plus Features
Tennis Tutor Plus includes all the features of the standard Tennis Tutor, plus adds topspin and underspin capability. A simple dial controls the amount of topspin or underspin you desire. In addition, the Player model includes Player Mode. Player Mode simulates the shot patterns of real players, and is described below. The Tennis Tutor Plus Player measures eight inches taller than the standard Tennis Tutor.
Elevation Setting
Tennis Tutor Plus is the only portable ball machine that displays the Elevation setting right on the control panel. A simple 10-segment display shows the elevation setting so you can set it to your favorite spot before firing any balls.
Player Mode
With the push of just one button, the Player Model simulates a player on the other side of the net. Just push the beginner, intermediate, or advanced buttons, and the Player model automatically picks an appropriate speed and spin, then changes both the side-to-side position and the depth of shots as if you were playing someone of that ability. The side-to-side position and depth of each shot are not simply changed in a random or sweeping motion; they are computer-programmed to simulate the shot patterns of real players (for instance, beginning players will see more shots towards the middle of the court and more variation in depth of shots). And you are not stuck with standard settings; you can customize settings by adding or subtracting speed, spin, or elevation to suit your game.
True Portability...and More
Tennis Tutor Plus Player is truly portable, measuring only 20 inches tall when the ball hopper is folded down for transport. And with the towing handle extended, it tows just like luggage. When you get to the court, the ball hopper opens in seconds to hold 150 balls, which is more than two standard pick-up baskets full of balls. Tennis Tutor Plus Player comes standard with a built-in heavy duty rechargeable battery that can deliver up to six hours of playing time, so there's little need for extra batteries. But if you do want more battery life there is an optional External Battery Pack.
Tennis Tutor Plus Player has a built-in battery charge indicator, and it even politely beeps when there is only one-half hour of battery charge left. And of course, Tennis Tutor Plus Player comes complete with a plug-in charging unit that fully charges the battery overnight.
No Compromises
Tennis Tutor is portable enough to take anywhere, yet powerful enough to challenge even top-level players. In fact, Tennis Tutor is used by tennis pros at the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) Training Center in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida.
In addition to all the features of the Tennis Tutor Plus, the Player model also contains a dual two-line feature that automatically shoots to two preset court positions. This feature allows you to practice alternating forehand and backhand shots, or allows an instructor to automatically shoot to two lines of students. There are two 2-line settings, narrow and wide, for added versatility. This feature is conveniently available on an easy-to-use touch overlay control panel.
Get One...before your opponent does!
Tennis Tutor's patented technology, combined with over 20 years of experience and refinement, have made Tennis Tutor the #1 portable ball machine worldwide.
Optional Remote Control
This model can be upgraded with either a two-function or a multi function wireless remote control. The two-function hand-held remote lets you start and stop ball delivery, and control the side-to-side position of the ball throws.
The Multi-function Remote controls all functions of the Tennis Tutor Player Plus just like you were using the actual control panel. In fact, the layout of the buttons on the Multi-function remote is the same as the layout of the buttons on the machineÕs control panel, so there is nothing new to learn. And each time you press a button on the Multi-function Remote your Tennis Tutor will beep to let you knowit received the signal.
