TENNIS TIP: THE BALL MACHINE!The ball machine is a great way to work on all strokes. Repetition is the key to consistency and perfecting your technique.

I would highly recommend using the ball machine after taking a lesson. It’s a great way to work on what you have just learned. You can also share it with another person.

We have a nominal fee of $100.00 for unlimited use for a year. This is a great value. We are always happy to set it up for you if you reserve it in advance. We can also show you how to properly work the machine to get great use from it. Let us know if you need more information.

Let’s keep those games sharp for the summer!See you on the courts!
