SAM® Commercial Tennis Ball Machines

The SAM® Commercial Tennis Ball Machine product line is designed for the racquet club or home court owner looking for great value in a tennis ball machine. The home court owner will be pleased with the ease of use and maintenance free design. The club pro also be pleased when not be pestered by members with questions on how to use the machine...they have the industries' simplest controls and are the #1 favorite of club players!

Introduced in 2000 and upgraded in 2002 and 2007, the SAM® Commercial Tennis Ball Machine product line has proven to be the ideal companion for a club or hard-core tennis player. With ball delivery topping out at 90+ mph and a feed rate range of 1.4 to 8 seconds, the commercial models can deliver top and back spin that challenge the toughest player. All SAM® Commercial models allow control of the feed rate, ball delivery speed, and top/back spin. With a 250+ ball capacity and manual elevation, the commercial line runs from AC mains power only. Standard machines operate on 120VAC, 240VAC is available, but must be ordered by phone to ensure correct power configuration.

 What makes SAM® Commercial Tennis Ball machines unique is that the balls are ejected from the machine at a minimum of 30" from the court surface. (Most other commercial machines are ejecting the ball at ~12-16" from the court.)  The result is:

  1.  a more realistic ball trajectory that is similar to what you would experience in a game

  2.  more useable court for the machine (When the ball leaves the machine, it doesn't need to climb much to get over the net.  Therefore, it can drop closer to the service line and as a result provides considerably more variety in shot sequences.

Another feature which makes the commercial line unique is that the design allows for the machine to ship via FedEx----WHICH NO OTHER COMMERCIAL MACHINE CAN DO!  As a result, a club can receive their machine quickly and any problems with the machine allow a quick remedy, as opposed to two-three weeks delay due to trucking transportation.
