My wife wasn't getting to play tennis as much as she did years ago, her schedule was packed and to play with friends etc, it was hard to schedule play. So we bought this Spinshot machine after looking at every machine you can buy. The programs are fantastic and lifelike. I have a knee that needs replacing so I go with her to the court and pick up balls as she plays. Even though it holds a fair amount of balls she can keep playing to get a great workout. I'm going to make a rear hitch holder for her car so she can easily load this herself as it is a little heavy, although you can take the battery out to lighten it up some. Fantastic and very happy with the price and quality.

Built tough in metal enclosure but not too heavy to lift. Compact with handle bars easy to get into car. Retractable handle broke on day one but spinshot quickly sent replacement part. The onboard user interface gets confusing but Free phone app makes it a lot easier to use and control the machine but occasionally loses connection. My machine shoots out a little to the left so I would just aim the machine slightly toward the right instead of straight ahead at the baseline midpoint.

I really like this ball machine for personal use (I'm a 4.5 player) and also for my two kids (ages 7 and 8). It worked right out of the box and it's pretty self explanatory how to change the ball speed, height and spin. It's light enough that I can carry it up stairs and durable enough to handle some abuse going up stairs and in/out of the trunk of my car. Overall, I really like this ball machine! I was worried that the speed would be too slow but it works just fine for me.

I live in a rural area with a court nearby by limited number of people to play. I was looking for a virtual partner, but mostly the cardio exercise and ability to play whenever it suited me. This has been great.
-Remote/App: iphone works just fine. No problems connecting. App has a lot more potential that could be unlocked.
-Speed: as advertised and per other comments certainly not up to par with those I have played but quite sufficient.
-Controls: takes some getting used and needs adjustments depending on wind conditions. Needs to be tweaked for center each time, but its usually a minor adjustment. Horizontal control could be a little wider. On a rare occasionally, it will get a little wonky and height changes. A pause and
-Support: informed me that the battery would be shipped separately once order was placed. Battery arrived same day as unit.
-Battery Charge: charges overnight consistently. I've used up to 2 hrs at top speed and it has not run out of battery yet during a session.
-Areas to Improve: App, Speed, Hold More Balls, but very happy with purchase so far.

I purchased the Spinshot Player Plus - 2 in early July and I have used it religiously since that time. I grew up playing tournament tennis and played in college at a time when using a ball machine only happened in clubs and was truly a luxury. I have to say the Spinshot is the best value purchase I have made in a long time - preprogrammed drills, ball speed, handling and the remote control combine to make it the experience an amazing workout. I have tried many forms of exercise and hitting balls from the Spinshot is definitely the best.
