I use the machine 5 days a week. I like that it is so portable & holds 28 balls. It's a little noisy but that can't be helped. It's a great machine.

Comments about Sports Tutor Sports Tutor Tennis Twist Tennis Ball Machine:

The important aspect is that you must buy this machine understanding that it is for beginners. It does nothing but lob slow bouncing balls for a short distance. If that's all you need, than it is worth the price. I bought for my beginning 14 year old to practice her stroke and back hand. I do wish it did hold more balls. But it is pretty good.

Comments about Sports Tutor Sports Tutor Tennis Twist Tennis Ball Machine:

I have no complaints about performance. You can only expect so much for the price. What I do have a problem with is it's durability. I used this machine 3 to 4 days a week for 3 month's. Then it quit working. For that reason I can not give it a positive review.

The machine is great for any level when you want to get out but your by yourself. Very portable for anyone. It has a small capacity but I used the breaks to review a video of my swing so I could make any corrections.

Comments about Sports Tutor Sports Tutor Tennis Twist Tennis Ball Machine:

Purchased this for me and my young child..wanted something cheap/simple that she could use.. Well I have now had this thing for over a year and it is still going strong. It has been left outside in the weather a lot and no issues. We only use it a few times a month but so far I am quite happy. It is still going strong and works as it should, and on the original batteries too(pretty impressive)..I did modify the launching area a bit, because I noticed that at times the balls would randomly hang a bit on the corner of the launch area. I just used a blowtorch and heated up the launch slot and then expanding that corner out a smidge and rounding out the corner a bit, which seems to fix the issue...

It is a basic machine that only "kicks" the balls out so obviously there is no variation, but for the price you accept that. If you get creative it is possible to design a ball container that sits over the machine, so you have more shots before reloading,as it only holds about 15 balls. .

This thing is great for kids and works great for the price, but if you are any type of serious player at all you would probably prefer more professional model...Of course if you want affordability, simplicity,portability and accept the limitations and basic functions of this machine it is a great choice.

Comments about Sports Tutor Sports Tutor Tennis Twist Tennis Ball Machine:

I bought this machine after trying another ball launcher made specifically for dogs. My dogs are obsessed with ball playing now that I have a launcher and it gives them tons of exercise. Another brand just kept disappointing them by breaking on multiple occasions and it never launched quickly enough for them. They love their new launcher. It's quiet, quick and very dependable!

I used this product 4 days a week for 7 months until it quit working . I can't complain about performance . You get what you pay for . But it was guarranteed to last a year and it didn't live up to that promise . Therefore , I can't give it a positive review for that reason .

The delivery was prompt and it arrived in good condition . The product apparently just can't stand up to heavy use .
