Spinfire Pro 2 Tennis Ball Machine

Spinfire have taken the best all-round ball machine and made it even better with their version two release. 

Tennis ball machines are an excellent way to practice and improve your game, regardless of skill level. The Spinfire Pro 2 makes it easy to practice a wide range of shots, test yourself with a variety of pace, spin and elevation, plus extend your mobility and fitness with ample practice drills.

A number of improvements have been made over the original machine. The Spinfire Pro 2 [v2] offers things you would normally only find on a much more expensive machine. It includes internal movement, an easy-to-use control panel, a multi-function remote control and a 150-ball capacity – all wrapped in a very stylish and compact design.

Some of the Key Upgrades:

Improved Ball Variations

– The ‘Horizontal Oscillation’ function has been replaced with ‘Horizontal Random’, so it randomly selects spots across the court rather than sweeping from side to side.
– The ‘Vertical Oscillation’ function has been replaced with ‘Vertical Random’, so it randomly selects the longest or shortest points rather than sweeping up and down.
– ‘Horizontal Random’ now includes a ‘narrow’ option, rather than just ‘wide’ or ‘medium’.

Improved Portability and Practicality

– More compact design, with an extra handle at the top of the mouth when the white hopper is inverted.
– Larger transport wheels with a full axle through the body for added strength and stability.
– A slot has been added to store the included multi-function remote.

Even Better Reliability and Durability

– All electronic components have been upgraded.
– Streamlined design, including internal cabling and battery brace.

Core Features & Benefits

Internal Movement

Unlike most other ball machines, which change the duration of the ball by moving the whole machine from side to side, the Spinfire Pro 2 moves internally. This allows for faster re-direction and makes shots less predictable. Additionally, the internal parts are black to further disguise shot direction.

Random Modes

On both horizontal and vertical random modes, balls can be delivered through the full width of the singles court with depth variation. The Spinfire Pro 2 can be set to deliver the same trajectory over and over or a variety of random trajectories. ‘Horizontal Random’ can be set to deliver balls across a narrow, medium or wide area. ‘Vertical Random’ delivers short or long balls in a random order. Both ‘Horizontal Random’ and ‘Vertical Random’ can be combined for a very realistic playing pattern.

Two-Line Drills

This feature delivers alternating forehands and backhands. It can be set to ‘wide’, ‘medium’ or ‘narrow’ to vary the degree of difficulty. The ‘wide’ setting makes you run from side to side, ‘narrow’ allows you to remain in the middle of the court, with ‘medium’ in between the two. You can also set the timing between each ball.

Extreme Topspin & Slice Capability

Using counter rotating wheels, the Spinfire Pro 2 operates very quietly and can generate maximum topspin and backspin, if desired.

Remote Control Included

All functions can be controlled remotely, allowing the player to start or pause the machine, as well as change functions, anywhere on court.

Easy Portability

Lightweight and compact, the Spinfire Pro 2 fits in the boot of most cars. The white hopper can be reversed to neatly cover the machine. Robust wheels and an extendable handle allow you to pull or push the machine anywhere.

Lithium Upgrade

Consider the lithium [LiFePO4] battery for the lightest option, at half the weight. Lithium batteries are designed to be recharged thousands of times, many times more than a traditional standard battery. On a long-term basis, the lithium option is more economical, with a life-span of a few decades. Only the Fast Charger is available for selection with any lithium battery configuration.

Three Power Options

You can choose to have a built-in or external battery pack. Alternatively, plug directly into mains power – or any combination of the three. The external battery pack makes the machine much lighter, allowing you to leave the machine in the car and just bring the battery inside for charging. A fast charger is also available, reducing the charging time from 11 hours to 3-4 hours. If your court has easy access to a power point, you may prefer the direct mains option.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which balls do you recommend?
Pressureless balls should ideally be used with any branded ball machine. Our best selling option is the Spinfire Touch. 

Can this machine additionally handle junior tennis balls?
Yes. Green, red and orange balls are also supported by this machine. Any junior balls should not be the oversized type.

What are the benefits to ordering an external battery model?
The machine is lighter and allows only the external battery pack to be brought to the power point. Customers usually select the external battery if they plan on storing or charging the battery in a different location to the machine.

Is the battery itself the same whether I opt for an internal or external battery?
Yes. There is no performance difference.

If I choose the internal battery option, can I replace the battery at a later point?
Yes. The process takes less than 30 minutes. Video instructions are available.

Can I order more than one power configuration?
Yes. This product listing only supports the selection of one of the three power configurations though [internal battery, external battery, mains AC]. To order a second power configuration, add the second product to your basket. For example, if you would like an external battery machine AND the AC Mains Power Supply, add both the external battery machine, plus the AC Mains Power Supply to the basket. Or, if you would like both the internal and external battery pack, order the internal battery machine, then add the External Standard Battery Pack or External Lithium Battery Pack to the basket.

Is a normal battery or lithium battery better?
The lithium battery is half the weight, has a 20% greater capacity and can be recharged many more times. The lithium is the most popular choice, however, it is slightly more expensive.

Is the machine different depending on which configuration I select?
No. The machine itself is always the same.

Therefore, could I order a second power configuration at a later stage?
Yes.

Can this machine also be used for padel?
Yes.

Can I use the standard battery charger with a lithium charger?
No. The chargers are different. This product listing will not allow you to add incompatible components to the basket.

Can I use the charger to operate the machine directly off mains power?
No. You can only use the AC Mains Power Supply accessory for operating the machine directly off mains power.
