The name 'Wilson' is almost synonymous with the game of tennis, as they supply top-rated racquets, balls, bags and apparel to many of the world's best players - names like Roger Federer, Justine Henin and the Williams sisters.
They now have a ball machine to their name - The Wilson Portable Tennis Ball Machine, aimed at tennis players who like a good range of features in a very portable ball machine.
There are actually four alternatives to choose, from the basic model to the top of the line option with remote and two - line directional control. But standard to the whole range are a number of attributes normally found in advanced ball machines, like spin control, horizontal oscillation (forehand to backhand), and vertical control (groundstroke to lob).
When choosing a ball machine for tennis, it's a good idea to pick a machine with some extra capacity to challenge your tennis game, as it inevitably improves with the concentrated repetition of shots that tennis machines are so good for.
The Wilson Tennis Ball Machine has enough scope to engage a beginner, with gentle 10mph shots every 10 seconds with no spin to one position on the court, right up to 75mph shots, every 1.5 seconds with top or backspin to virtually anywhere on court - and it only weighs 38lbs. That's alot of punch for a lightweight, and should ensure a strenuous workout for even an advanced player.
With this amount of variation at your fingertips, you'll be able to start your tennis drills gently. There's even a ball feed delay to allow you to assume your court position for the first delivery. Then gradually introduce the variation you'd expect in a real tennis match - forehand to backhand (with the two - line option), volleys and overhead shots, all with your choice of spin and feed delay.
One of the main advantages of your Wilson Machine is it's portability, but if you are lucky enough to have access to an AC supply, there's a mains power option that will allow you to spend all day on court.
If you are traveling to court, Wilson's tennis ball machine is light enough to get in and out of a vehicle, and has an integral towing handle and wheels, but many have found that even at 38lbs, a small hand cart will help get your machine from a to b.
The batteries should outlast all but the keenest with at least 3 hours of court time, but if you want extended practices, Wilson offer an external battery accessory which will more than double your tennis time.
The wireless remote option for your Wilson Ball Machine allows you to maximize your time on court by reducing the need to constantly return to your machine to stop or start the ball feed. The two function remote control will also stop or start the ball machine's oscillation sweep, great for instantly boosting the level of your tennis workout, or conversely, reducing the intensity to allow recovery time without stopping 'play'.
The ability to shoot down two lines on the court is a feature of premium tennis machines, and Wilson's top portable model will enhance your tennis training with it's capacity to shoot to your forehand and backhand in turn.
Of course, you can halve the workload by involving two players, each honing one tennis stroke, and flick back to a single direction with a click of your wireless remote.
