IT'S
IN THE DETAILS
Shotmaker also incorporates several
distinctive features to enhance usability:
|
|
A
single electronic panel controls all functions of the Shotmaker. It
is conveniently located at the back of the machine about waist level
to allow operation in a natural standing position. You can easily
dial-in the tennis shots you want while observing the entire court
in front of you. |
|
|
Four
oversized caster wheels for easy rolling on and off the court. |
|
|
A
protective all-weather cover is included with each machine to protect
your investment. |
|
|
A
see-through, high-impact plastic cover provides extra protection for
the control panel. |
STANDARD MODEL
The Standard model control panel is
organized in two simplified sections
The left side of the control panel
controls the type of shot you want.
Individual dials set Speed, Spin, and
the Interval between shots, while simple
switches control Power (On/Off), Elevation
(Higher/Lower) and Remote (On/Off).
The right side of the control panel can
be programmed to shoot balls to any
or all of the three positions (A, B, C)
shown in the tennis court diagram
above the corresponding switches.
For instance, to shoot to positions
A and C only, push the position
A and position C switches ON, and leave
the position B switch OFF. To shoot balls
randomly across the court push all three
position switches to OFF.
Optional Remote Control
A single-function wireless Remote Control,
which alternately starts and stops the ball
delivery, is optional on the Standard model.

DELUXE MODEL

QUICK SET-UP/PLAYER MODE
Quick Set-up
The Quick Set-up feature of the Deluxe model
provides one-touch shot selection based on playing ability
Just push the button corresponding to
your skill level (beginner, intermediate,
or advanced), and the Deluxe model will automatically
deliver a pre-programmed shot to the middle of the court
at an appropriate interval. If you
want something other than the pre-programmed
shots, you can use the Quick Set-Up buttons
as a convenient starting point, and then adjust
the shot characteristics and shot positions
with the easy-touch controls.
Player Mode
With pushbutton simplicity, PLAYER MODE (patent pending) simulates a player
on the other side of the net. Just push PLAYER MODE, on either the
Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced buttons, and the PLAYER MODE automatically
picks an appropriate speed and spin, then changes both the side-to-side position
and the depth of shots just like you were playing someone of that ability.
The side-to-side position and depth of each shot are not simply changed
in a random or sweeping motion, but are computer programmed to
simulte the shot patterns of real players. For instance, beginning players
will see more shots towards the middle of the court and more variation in depth of
shots than will advanced players. And you are not stuck with only the standard
settings, you can customize the settings by adding or subtracting more speed,
spin, or elevation as you like.
Easy Programmability
The Deluxe model can be programmed to
shoot balls in a pattern of up to six shots
(SHOT 1 thru SHOT 6), with each shot
directed to any of seven different court
positions (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) shown on the
tennis court diagram, or to a RANDOM
position. If a shot selector switch is set to
OFF it will not be included in the shot
pattern. Indicator Lights show the active
shot position.
For instance, if you want Shotmaker to
shoot one ball wide to your forehand (for
right-handers), then one ball down the
middle, followed by a randomly placed
shot, then set the six switches as follows:
SHOT 1 to B, SHOT 2 to D, SHOT 3 to
RANDOM, and the rest of the switches
to OFF.
Shot Program Memory
The Shot Program Memory lets you store
shot sequences for your favorite workouts
or drills, and then recall them with the touch
of a button. The Shot Program remembers
every setting on the control panel including
Speed, Elevation, Spin, Interval, and Shot Pattern.
You can store up to nine Shot Programs that
can be recalled at any time. This feature is
especially useful in situations where there is
more than one user for the machine, as each
user can program in their own favorite settings.
Two-Function
Remote Control
The Deluxe model includes a two-function
wireless Remote Control. The Ball Feed
button alternately starts and stops the ball
delivery. The 'Oscillator' button alternately
starts and stops the shot program. When
the shot program is stopped, Shotmaker
throws balls only to the one position where
the program was stopped.
WARRANTY
Shotmaker ball machines are backed by a
two-year warranty covering both parts and
labor. Extended warranties available.
