Groove Your Shots
Select a shot you need to practice and return the balls over and over with the same stroke
or alternate strokes, e.g. forehand / back hand.
Cardio Madness
Turn on the oscillation and set the machine to give a bouncy mid-court ball at 3-second
intervals. Work on your footwork and recovery time.
Target Practice
Place target (2 square feet) in a service court corner. Attempt to strike the target. Keep
track of the number of successful hits. To increase difficulty, switch on oscillation.
Alternative
Place 5 targets on the court, 3 at the baseline, 2 at each
corner of the service boxes. With oscillation on, hit a different target with each ball.
Match Timing
Using the pneumatic remote control, play for 30 seconds, turn off, and serve two balls.
Repeat until the hopper is empty.
Mini Tennis
Slow down ball speed and position the ball in the forecourt. Try to return balls into the
opposite forecourt. Add horizontal oscillation to increase difficulty.
Alley Tennis
Position ball machine in back alley; try to return all shots within the alley.
LOB-STER Smash!
Set machine to Lob by elevating the 3" shot selector to its highest position and
adjust time caps to 6 or 12 seconds. Place 3 targets close to the baseline. Stay in the
backcourt. After each shot, run and touch the net, while repositioning yourself in time
for the next shot. Aim at each target, one after the other with a smash.
