Sports Tutor Tennis Tutor Prolite

Introduction
Sports Tutor makes tutoring machines for tennis players as well as tutoring machines for baseball, volleyball, and soccer players. They have created many up-to-date ball machines and decided to design one with all of the features of a professional ball machine, but light in weight – the Tennis Tutor Prolite.

Usefulness
There is no doubt about it; this ball machine is the smallest and lightest professional ball machine available. Featuring a 5-second setup for fast play, this ball machine is suitable for any player, whether you are a beginner or a pro. The Prolite has various speeds, from gentle toss to hard hitting ground strokes that is designed to challenge even the most advanced tennis player. This machine has a variable ball speed from one ball every 1.5 seconds to 10 seconds. This means that you are able to have different training sessions, from fast paced to slow and steady. This ball machine also has a full range of trajectories that are manually adjustable and range from groundstroke to lob, which makes this ball machine ideal for any type of tennis player.

Convenience
This machine has all of the features of a professional ball machine, with all the convenience for a beginner machine. Measuring at a tiny 12 inches tall and weighing less than 30 pounds, this professional ball machine is portable and compact so you can take it anywhere for play on public tennis courts if you don’t have your own court. It also holds up to 125 tennis balls so that you can get in a good session without having to reload in between. And for convenience, it has a start time delay of 10 seconds so you can get to the other side of the court before being pelted with balls. The only downside is that it only has a battery life of 2-3 hours, so you will have less playing time.

Longevity
This ball machine comes with a 1- year warranty with the added option of increasing the term. It doesn’t come with any protective casing, so keep stored in a dry place when you’re not using it.

Value
This professional ball machine is at the lower end of the market, but is good value for the money. Prices range from $649 for an AC or battery powered machine without an oscillator to $749 for an AC or battery powered machine with an oscillator. It also has a 10-60 MPH ball ejection speed and with an extra option of an oscillator that hits random shots for on-the-run practice. Even the more advanced tennis player can benefit from this machine.

CONCLUSION
The Sports Tutor Tennis Tutor Prolite is affordable and ideal for all types of players, from beginners to pros. On the downside, the battery life is quite short and it doesn’t come with a remote. However, it is quite easy to use and has a full range of features to help with every tennis player.
