Manual Tennis Ball Machines Machines with manual elevation rely on a practice partner to control the arc of the shots from the other side of the court (you can also pre-set the machine to your preferred setting, but you'll need to run over and change it when needed). If you need a more responsive, easier controlled machine, choose an Electronic elevation model that features more variety, more settings, and remote control or pre-set features to help you adjust elevation without leaving your side of the court.
- Shortcut? Our favorite is the Lobster 301 Hybrid Tennis Ball Machine.
