remote control ball machineHere’s a training aid for my hardcore tennis players, who train all year around. You’ve doubtlessly rented a ball machine from your tennis club before, but what if you could have your own? You could use it on any court, indoors or out, and you wouldn’t have to pay a rental fee (though, of course, you have to pay to buy it originally).

The Elite Battery Ball Machine is battery powered, so it’s easy to use on outdoor courts where there’s no plug in available. It has an optional remote control, and it can be broken down (the lid flips over to cup the machine) so it fits in the trunk of any car. Wheels and a handle make it easy to roll to the court. It oscillates and shifts to send balls all over the court, if you want it to, and you can adjust the speed of the ball from 10-80 mph.

The price? $1500 from Lobster Sports.
