Ball Machine Workouts

Tennis is a fun sport that offers physical fitness and an ability to compete in a friendly environment. The game, however, takes a lot of patience and practice to master. Tennis ball machines are an efficient way to learn proper technique and muscle memory so that you can automatically execute your shots and game plan in the heat of a match. Repetition is the key to learning strokes and tennis ball machines allow you to practice the same shot or strategy over and over.

Stroke Specific Drill

Every tennis player has a shot that he would like to improve, but it's tough to find a friend who is willing to spend an hour hitting shots specifically to your backhand or forehand. This is one of the ways that a ball machine can be used as an effective training tool. To execute this workout, Tennis Thoughts recommends setting the ball machine to dispense an entire hopper full of balls to whichever stroke you would like to improve. Depending on your needs, you can set the next round to continue the same stroke, or maybe switch to the opposite one.

Up the Middle

Speed, endurance and footwork are all important elements of a tennis match. The Up the Middle workout will help you improve all three skills, while giving you the chance to work on your ground strokes. Tennis Thoughts instructs to set the ball machine to serve balls down the center line of the court. Alternate between hitting forehands and backhands: A common mistake with this drill is to set the speed of the ball machine too fast. In order to avoid becoming burned out before you have hit every ball in the hopper, make sure the machine is shooting balls at a rate that is challenging yet feasible.

Two-Line Drill

Tennis is a running game, and the player who can hit winners on the run will have an edge over her opponent. For this drill, set the ball machine to alternate between forehands and backhands. Have the balls hit the ground far enough away from each other so that you have to move quickly from side to side. Along with hitting shots on the run, this drill improves your endurance and sprinting speed.

Random Oscillation

You can never be really sure where your opponent will place the ball. The random oscillation drill helps improve your reaction time so that you are able to get to the ball in time and make the right decision for your return shot. For this drill, Tennis Thoughts recommends setting the ball machine to random oscillation, with balls alternating between forehand, backhand and up the middle, and with some going deep and others landing closer to the net.

Benefits of Using A Tennis Ball Machine

Using a tennis ball machine is an excellent tennis training tool that will take your game to a new level. Practicing against a ball machine builds confidence, improves tennis strokes, and strengthens your overall fitness.

>> Improve your volley speed.
>> Improve your tennis swing mechanics.
>> Improve your footwork and preparation.
>> Improve your speed and movement on the court.
>> Improve your cardio and endurance.

You can practice the following swings : right forehand, backhand, lob, overhead smash, topspin and backspin, half volley to full volley. Repetition is by far the best teacher and by providing a practice ball that has the same height, depth, and pace, tennis ball machines allow strokes to be reinforced correctly.

When it comes to tennis practice you'll need to consider what types of shots you need to work on, and what types of shots you expect to work on in the future.

Improving Your Footwork In Tennis

Nearly all tennis ball machines are capable of oscillation, which means they shoot balls randomly from side to side. This allows you to move your feet while practicing your ground strokes or volleys. Some ball machines are even capable of dropping in short balls so that you can step in and put them away or make a nice approach shot before coming to the net.

It should be noted that ball machines should not replace a coach. It could be harmful to your game to continually practice a bad technique. However, in conjunction with coaching, a ball machine is a very valuable tool.
