Silent Partner PRO
Introduction
The Silent Partner PRO is one of the best and most advanced ball machines that this company has to offer. And because Silent Partner is dedicated to providing a high level of excellent ball machines and tennis accessories, you will not be disappointed with one of their latest addition to the family.
Usefulness
The Silent Partner PRO might look like a bit of an eyesore, but it is an excellent ball machine for tennis players who are just beginning to learn the basics. It can also challenge some of the more advanced tennis players with their sticking points though. This ball machine is similar to the STAR and the LITE. It has an electronic speed control which ranges from 15 to 95 MPH so that even the youngest tennis player out there can find a speed to suit him, as well as an electronic spin control for topspin and backspin. The PRO also features an electronic feed rate from full stop to rapid fire for varying game types. Choose to have a gentle workout to a fast practice that will keep you on your toes. The Silent Partner PRO also features an electronic elevation from drive to very high lob so you can practice your various swing types, as well as a sweeping random oscillator which has two different speeds. The PRO also comes complete with a wireless remote so that you can change ball feed and the oscillator without having to run backwards and forwards across the court each time.
Convenience
Weighing in at 48 pounds, this isn’t the easiest ball machine to travel with. It has a fully functional carry handle and is mounted on wheels though, but still is better suited for use on a home court rather than a public tennis court. It holds up to 200 balls for convenience and features a heavy duty battery that has up to four hours of game play for an extended practice session. It also comes with a smart battery charger which ranges from trickle to fast so that you don’t have to wait long before you are out on the court again practicing your overheads.
Longevity
With a 1- year warranty, the Silent Partner PRO also has the added option of an extendable warranty for a few dollars more. You can also purchase extras such as a weatherproof jacket for outdoor storage, but it’s already reliable and sturdy to last you a long time.
Value
The Silent Partner PRO costs $1,199 and is great value for money. It has brilliant features which can challenge basic to advanced tennis players, as well as a wireless remote for extra convenience and a sweeping oscillator for play all over the court. The PRO is definitely a worthwhile investment for serious tennis players.
CONCLUSION
The Silent Partner PRO is easy to use and has lots of brilliant features that will challenge all types of tennis players. There are lots of added extras that you can pay extra for to improve the ball machine, but it is already one of the better ball machines on its own in this price range.
