I'm a tennis newbie, I mostly play for fun. About a month ago I picked up this Tenniix Pro for training. I decided to just go all in and buy the Pro instead of the Basic version. There isn't a court close to where I live, so I have to haul this machine to the spot. I'd say it's pretty light, under 20 pounds, so you can take it anywhere. I've used a Tennis Tutor before, and that thing was like 50 pounds? I'd be worn out before even getting to the court. I use the Tenniix outdoors, no issues, though I think it might work better inside. It has an AI system, and the voice control is awesome. You can just talk to the band instead of stopping to fiddle with the screen. It's pretty clever, and so far no glitches. Plus, the camera on the machine watches your shots and adjusts the next ball based on what it sees, which is way smarter than machines that just fire balls at you. There are tons of modes to pick from. There's a training mode for new players like me, and it's got a lot for my practice, from forehands and backhands to net shots and drop shots, plenty for my needs. Match mode is for regular players, and when I want a bit of competition, that's a good pick. And there's a challenge mode that records where your ball lands, but I rarely push myself with that. You can also tweak your own settings. Quick warning for total beginners: stay away from match mode. I took one hit straight to my balls, ouch. The battery lasts 4 hours, and I'm exhausted long before it gives out. Tenniix isn't perfect, and the app's low rating is deserved. I couldn't get the verification email at first and had to call support. It's mostly software issues. They say an update is on the way, so fingers crossed. I'd suggest it for tennis beginners. It'll help you get through that awkward starting phase and it's actually fun to use in match mode.
