The Tennis Twist ball machine is a battery-powered and easily portable machine that can be used by tennis instructors or for personal use. At $200, it’s quite a deal compared to other machines on the market (prices usually run from $500 into the thousands for professional club-style machines).
Since this machine doesn’t need to be plugged in, it can be used on outdoor courts.
The unique spiral “twist” design allows it to hold 28 balls that won’t become clogged inside. It shoots one ball per 5 seconds, and the ball arc can be adjusted from anywhere between 12 and 20 feet.
The ball machine has an adjustable range, too, so it can actually be used off court in settings such as driveways, backyards, and even basements.

If you’ve ever gone to yoga, you probably felt good afterward. All that stretching warms up all those muscles and makes you feel like you’ve had a good workout (especially if you have one those instructors who believes it’s not yoga until the first drop of sweat hits the mat!).
Well, I’m not sure these yoga sandals can make you feel like that all day, but they are supposed to improve your balance, flexibility, and alignment. To do this, they separate each toe, so you’re walking around with the “spread your toes” style that many teachers ask for when you’re in your poses.
Made from 32% recycled LDPE, the yoga sandals can be worn around the house or on errands, or just slip them on after your yoga class.
They come in small, medium, large, and extra larges sizes, and you can pick them up at Gaiam for $30.
