The machine is all that the reviews here have made it out to be:-
- Rugged
- Almost never jams
- High tolerance for debris
- Can feed any balls (new or old) into the machine and it still works
- Can deliver a good variety of different types of balls for a more complete overall practice
- Fits, just barely, into the back of my Sedan C200 Merc
Overall, you can’t go wrong with this machine and it’s really value for money.
For buyers in Malaysia, please note that the company is unable to send the 12V 12Ah battery which powers the machine outside of the US. However, this is not a problem as you can purchase a 12V 12Ah battery on Shopee or Lazada for about RM100.00 (or USD24.00 approx). It’s quite a straightforward process to fix the battery into the machine.
I bought the product from Amazon for USD1,965.43 (price of the machine plus shipping and import fees) which amounted to RM8,500.00 approx. which represented the largest purchase I had ever made online so I was a bit nervous about how it would all turn out.
I made the purchase on 12th November 2019, and 3 days later, DHL had sent the machine to my nominated address in Penang, Malaysia, very securely and professionally packed.
Now, here comes the fun part – you can imagine my excitement on receiving the machine so quickly. I installed the 12V 12Ah battery into the machine, took it down onto the court, filled the hopper with 70 new tennis balls, ran to the other side of the court to receive the balls, and lo and behold – the machine fired out JUST ONE ball… and the spinning wheel which feeds the balls from the hopper into the machine just stopped working. I tested the machine again and again over the following 3 days and only 1 ball would come out of the machine… and then I thought the machine was toast, me being in Malaysia and Spinshot being located all the way over in the US.
I wrote to Kathy at Spinshot – vide the Amazon link, and she was most apologetic, and referred me to Jason in after sales service. There was NO such thing as being given the run around, and Jason immediately asked me to send to him videos on how the machine was not functioning, made a diagnosis of the problem, then informed me that it could be a control panel issue. He immediately sent out a new control panel together with detailed instructions for me to install into the machine, and further assured me that “I will make sure the machine is fixed for you. If the new control panel doesn’t do the job, I will replace the machine for you”.
The new control panel arrived in 5 days, and after I had installed it, the machine works fine until today and I have had much satisfaction practicing on the courts with it.
I guess what I am trying to say is that not only is the Spinshop Player a great value for money tennis ball machine, but more importantly, the employees of Spinshot – especially Kathy and Jason, were so responsible and helpful to me, as a customer, which made my purchase a most wonderful, reassuring and memorable experience.
I’ve always believed that the way an employee reacts to a customer is a direct reflection of the values of the company, and I would have no hesitation in reassuring my friends and colleagues who are interested in purchasing a tennis ball machine that they would not be able to go wrong going with the Spinshot name.
Hope you guys have fun out there on the courts.
Every drill we tested out was extremely helpful and fun. I watched my older son stand next to my younger some and provide constructive coaching as he was making his hots. In doing this, the younger one was able to make some quick adjustments and improve his shots.
We're looking forward to using the same drills again and again to refine our shots while trying out some of the other drills. The random drills (random lateral, random height, and random both) will provide great workouts and help to simulate real playing.
From initial use, we observed a couple areas where the product could be improved. The plastic side panels that are used to hold the balls are a bit flimsy and can become disengaged when hit by balls. These could have been made to be more sturdy. The wheels are a bit small and make for rather noisy and bouncy transport when traveling over rough surfaces. For this reason, we carry the machine rather than roll it on uneven surfaces.
