Review on FXEEXD Battery-Powered Portable Tennis Ball Tosser/Feeder for 🎾 Kids and Beginners (4lb) - Holds up to 30 Balls by Adam Hardy

Works, everything is fine but I have to admit I was a bit disappointed. This is the BOUNCE machine. He throws the ball in the air with a slow throw (as if you were throwing it yourself). As a tutorial, I'm wondering if this really helps. In real tennis, instead of hitting an almost stationary ball, you're hitting a ball that's moving toward you. This is where the traditional ball machine is so much better. Also, a traditional ball machine can hold 50 to 300 balls, giving you 15 to 45 minutes of exercise per cycle. It hits a maximum of 30 balls in 4 seconds each, which is only TWO minutes of practice per cycle. The traditional ball machine has settings that can aim randomly, while this one has almost no settings and the ball just bounces in the same spot. When ordering I knew this would not compare to a real ball machine. However, I was also a bit disappointed. It requires four D batteries, and I hate D batteries. They're expensive, sometimes hard to find, and they don't come in rechargeable versions. I wish it used more common batteries (like 10 AA batteries) or better yet a rechargeable lithium battery. For the price, you'd think they might contain lithium. It looks like there is a connector for the power adapter, although I don't know which one. I can experiment with that. Also, the plastic track is a bit cheap, the track doesn't fit quite right (see picture). The balls seem to be doing well on the track, but I'm concerned about durability. It's not very portable and it doesn't come with a storage pouch or anything like that. It's not that easy to disassemble, it doesn't pop out as far or as high as expected. On a high setting, it walks about 4-5 feet and bounces about 4-5 feet. Like I said, it doesn't come close that quickly, it's not much different than just throwing it up yourself. You can't hide it behind the net, it doesn't shoot them far enough. Maybe you could put this thing on top of a box or ball hopper. So, for example, you have to bring it to the side at a 45-degree angle to avoid hitting the car. This camera is a bit confusing for beginners as the ball comes in at an odd angle. Perhaps my biggest criticism is the price. I see identical ball launchers in the $100 range that hold 10 balls - is it worth nearly three times the 30 ball capacity? Had it been closer to the $100 range, I might have overlooked many of my complaints. The bottom line is that it's a bit like training wheels - a beginner can use it to get started with a few sessions, but I wonder if that will be of long-term use. If you're looking for a tutorial, also consider the "Air Tee" which is cheaper.
