The Spinshot Pro is a compact and portable tennis ball machine with features that will challenge most beginner and intermediate players. With a ball capacity of 120 balls, the ability to fire balls at 110 km/h with horizontal oscillation and electronic height control, the Spinshot Pro is an impressive machine for its price.
Despite these impressive features, it is out trumped in every way by the Spinfire Pro 1 – 150-ball capacity, up to 130km/h ball speed, market leading extreme spin levels, internal horizontal oscillation with wide or medium settings, up to 8 hours of court time from a single charge, and a much more user friendly control panel with soft touch buttons and LED display – compared with the Spinshot’s switches and dials. The Spinfire is also a much more convenient machine to convert between internal and external power sources. Simply plug in the external power and play.

| Vertical Oscillation Ability to offer random variation in depth to allow for practicing of short and deep balls. | ||
| Electric Option Can the machine be run directly from an AC power point, rather than via a battery? Running off AC can eliminate the headaches associated with batteries, charging them and replacing them when necessary. | ||
| Battery Can the machine be run off a battery? | ||
| Battery Life The min and max play time possible when using the battery. | 2-3 hours | 3-8 hours |
| Battery size | 7 A/h | 20 A/h |

| Portable Has wheels and a handle to allow easy movement to and from the tennis courts (from the back of a car). | ||
| Weight The weight of the machine without tennis balls installed. Note, the Spinfire Pro 2 can be purchased with an external battery, so 18 kg represents the weight of the machine only without a battery inside. | 18 kg | 18 kg |
| Remote Does the machine offer a remote control to allow easy settings adjustments from the other end of the court? Note, all remotes are different, including the number of buttons and functions each can supply, so look for a photo of the remote you are considering to understand its features. Also, Tennis Tutor in Australia does not offer a remote control, but this may be possible to purchase in other parts of the world. | ||
| 2 Line Drill This is a drill which shoots one ball to the forehand, followed by a ball to the backhand, and it repeats endlessly. It will keep you running from side to side until you can take it no longer. Some machines offer this in just WIDE and NARROW, while others offer WIDE, MEDIUM and NARROW for a bit more flexibility. It's also a great drill to use when two players are practising together with a ball machine, as it will alternate firing a ball between each player. | ||
| Optional Spare Battery A spare battery is great for coaches or those heavy users who don't always have time to charge their battery between sessions, or may want even more play time than the standard minimum that each machine can provide. | ||
| Heavy Duty Battery | ||
| Optional Storage Cover These are great for protecting your machine from dust and debris, but we do not recommend you leave them out on court. | ||
| Warranty This is the standard manufacturer's warranty. Some machines do have the option to upgrade their warranty to up to 5 years for an additional fee. | 2 Years | 2 Years (Optional 5 years) |
