If value for money and portability are two central features on your ball machine wish list, then the Tennis Cube could be just for you.There are two models to choose from, anf they're both priced at the very low end of the 'serious' tennis ball machine scale.
The basic model with no oscillation control is less than $500, admittedly not very much less at $499, but still highly competitive for a machine that includes in it's armory shots up to 50mph, feed rate control, a 10 second feed delay, elevation adjustment and a free no-overcharge smart charger for the battery.
For an investment of $100 more, you're Tennis Cube will fire it's tennis balls randomly in an arc across the court on you're instruction, so you're legs get as good a workout as your arms and your forehand and backhand are tested in equal measure.
The Tennis Tutor Cube is ideal for those who like to get practicing their tennis in the minimum time after arriving on court. There's really not much to adjust - just set the rate of fire and the ball speed, maybe tweak the elevation setting, and off you go.
The Cube has an inbuilt delay of 10 seconds to allow you to assume position on court before the first ball is delivered, to make sure every one of it's 70 tennis balls counts.
If you have the oscillating model, just flick the switch to instruct your cube to randomly spray the balls across the court for a better workout and for a greater variety of shot. You'll still be able to raise your heart rate without the oscillation by alternating between forehand and backhand and by 'rushing the net' to volley some shots, before racing back to your original court position.
Most Tennis Ball Machines are described as portable, but some stretch the word 'portable' a bit far, and infact are a handful for most and a logistical nightmare for some. This isn't the case with the Tennis Cube, which at 24lbs, is one of the lightest ball machines on the market.
That's a full 5lbs less than another Tennis Tutor machine, the Prolite, which itself is considered one of the most portable tennis machines, and Sports Action Machine's i SAM model. The lightest Lobster model, the Elite Freedom is 35lbs.
Of course, the machines above have a few more features and a bit more firepower than the Cube, but if you don't need these 'extras', then the Cube's a better bet (and you'll have $200 - $300 more dollars in your pocket.)
The Cube has been designed to be good for tennis players from 2.0 to 4.0 in the National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP), which roughly means from a little better than beginner level to a beginning to get reasonably good level. If you're better than a 4.0 you'll likely need to spend a bit more on a model further up the range like the Prolite, Tutor Plus or Plus Player, that'll give you more variety and weight of shot.
