Ball Machine

The club has a ball machine that can be used by members. Instructions for using the ball machine are in the ball machine ball compartment and on the club notice board.

The ball machine is great for practising forehand and backhand drills, volleys, smashing, and drills running side to side and forward to backward.

The ball machine has 12 preloaded drills and custom drills can be programmed into the ball machine as well. It is not necessary to use the preloaded drills – you can manually enter the distance, elevation and interval at which the balls are shot out.  NOTEThe Special Pressureless Balls that are with the machine are to be used. 

The instructions can also be found HERE.

Ball Machine — This was out of operation for some time (mid-2023) but now has a new 12v Lithium battery and state-of-the-art intelligent charger and is operating again. Please plug in the battery charger (the plug is located lower left on the machine) when you have finished and press the MODE button on the charger. Please fill in the LOG Sheet.

You need to use the special ‘pressure-less’ balls with the machine. It also has a REMOTE unit which is located in a plastic holder on the handle. There are instructions with the machine. Please read to learn how to operate it.
