All Spinfire ball machines will perform slightly differently because of manufacturing tolerances and while the example settings generally perform well, in some cases they don’t produce the results that you are looking for.
In order to set up your machine to perform how you would like it to:
- Position the ball machine in the centre on the court, just behind the baseline.
- Choose a speed that you feel comfortable with. Speeds of 15-20 are only suitable for advanced players. If you are unsure, we suggest you start at 10.
- Next, choose a spin level that you would like to practice against. Spin levels of +5 (topspin) and above or -5 (backspin) and below will be challenging for most players.
- Finally, adjust the height angle so that the ball is landing at your desired depth in the court or height above the net. We recommend halfway between the service line and the baseline.
