The Sports Tutor Shotmaker Deluxe Tennis Ball Machine is Sports tutor's most versatile yet easiest-to-use Shotmaker.
Quick Set-up
The Quick Set-up feature of the Deluxe model provides one-touch shot selection based on playing ability. Just push the button matching to your skill level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced), and the Deluxe model will automatically deliver a pre-programmed shot to the middle of the court at an appropriate interval. If you would like something other than the pre-programmed shots, you can use the Quick Set-Up buttons as a convenient starting point, and then adjust the shot characteristics and shot positions with the easy-touch controls.
Easy Programmability
The Deluxe model can be programmed to shoot balls in a pattern of up to six shots (SHOT 1 thru SHOT 6), with each shot directed to any of seven different court positions (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) shown on the tennis court diagram, or to a RANDOM position. If a shot selector switch is set to OFF it will not be included in the shot pattern. Indicator lights show the active shot position.
For instance, if you want Shotmaker to shoot one ball wide to your forehand (for right-handers), then one ball down the middle, followed by a randomly placed shot, then set the six switches as follows: SHOT 1 to ‘B’, SHOT 2 to ‘D’, SHOT 3 to ‘RANDOM’, and the rest of the switches to OFF.
Shot Program Memory
The Shot Program Memory allows you to store shot sequences for your preferred workouts or drills, and then recall them with the touch of a button. The Shot Program remembers every setting on the control panel including Speed, Elevation, Spin, Interval, and Shot Pattern. You can store up to nine Shot Programs that can be recalled at any time. This feature is especially useful in situations where there is more than one user for the machine, as each user can program in their own preferred settings.
Player Mode
With the push of just one button, Player Mode (Patented) simulates a player on the other side of the net. You just have to push either the Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced buttons, and Player Mode automatically picks an appropriate speed and spin, then changes both the side-to-side position and the depth of shots just like you were playing someone of that ability.
For instance, beginning players will see more shots towards the middle of the court and more variation in depth of shots than will advanced players. And you are not stuck with only the standard settings, you can customize the settings by adding or subtracting more speed, spin, or elevation as you like.
Multi-Function Remote Control
The Multi-function Remote controls all functions on the left (black) side of the Shotmaker Deluxe control panel just like you were using the actual control panel. In fact, the layout of the buttons on the Multi-function remote is almost the same as the layout of the buttons on the machine’s control panel, so there is nothing new to learn. And every time you press a button on the Multi-function Remote your Shotmaker Deluxe will beep to let you know it received the signal.
