Spinshot Plus-2 BALL MACHINE TEST

Finally, let’s get to the important part that you’re probably here for. The test!

How I Test

Ball Speed

The ball speed of the Spinshot Plus-2 is sufficient for players of all skill levels. The regular version reaches up to 110 km/h (68 mph), while the high-spin version goes up to 128 km/h (80 mph).

Number of Balls

As for ball capacity, the Spinshot Plus-2 can hold up to 120 tennis balls. While it may not have the highest capacity among the machines I’ve tested, it provides sufficient ball supply for longer drills lasting up to 4 minutes.

Spin

One of the reasons why the Spinshot Plus-2 is popular among advanced players is the amount of topspin and backspin it can generate. At maximum settings, the balls bounce off with a high trajectory, simulating an opponent with a lot of spin. The slice is also remarkable and very helpful for training purposes.

Rotation / Oscillation

The Spinshot Plus-2 can distribute the balls all over the court and much more.

The vertical angle of the Spinshot (which determines the height) is electronically adjustable. With a maximum angle of 60 degrees, you can set the trajectory high to simulate different shot types like lobs or high bouncing groundstrokes. This versatility adds depth to your training sessions and helps you prepare for various scenarios on the court.

Drills / Exercises

The Spinshot excels in its ability to fully customize drills and exercises. With this feature, you can program the ball machine to perform specific shot sequences, including different speeds, spins, directions, and intervals. The Spinshot app offers 12 slots where you can create and save individual exercises with up to six balls per slot. This level of control and versatility allows you to simulate match situations and focus on specific areas of your game that need improvement.

Battery

The battery life of the Spinshot Plus-2 is approximately three hours, depending on usage and settings. The Spinshot also offers the option to use an external battery or connect it to a power outlet, giving you the flexibility to extend your training without interruptions.

Handling

Weight

With its sturdy metal construction, the Spinshot Plus-2 is built for long-lasting performance on the tennis court. The machine weighs 25 kg (55 lbs), making it relatively lightweight and easy to transport compared to other ball machines in its class.

Size

One of the standout features of the Spinshot ball machine is its compact size. It is one of the smallest ball machines with so many functions and easily fits into most car trunks. This compact design makes the device highly mobile and convenient for players who frequently train in different locations or are on the go. You can simply lay the Spinshot Plus-2 on its side, and it should fit easily into most cars.

Portability

The Spinshot Plus-2 consists of a single unit and does not require assembly or disassembly. Similar to a travel suitcase, it has an extendable handle attached at the rear end, allowing you to pull the ball machine across the court.

Noise Level

The noise level of the Spinshot is not particularly noteworthy and falls within the normal range.

Operation

The Spinshot Plus-2 offers multiple ways of operation.

It features a user-friendly control panel with various options. While the physical control panel provides functional direct control over the device, there is also a free Spinshot app for more comprehensive control via Bluetooth.

With the app, you can adjust settings, start and stop exercises, and create custom sequences.

WHAT’S GOOD ABOUT THE Spinshot Plus-2

The app is one of the highlights of the Spinshot Plus-2 and has impressed me the most! There are several ball machines with good remote controls, like the Spinfire Pro 2, but I haven’t seen an app as good as the one provided by Spinshot.

WHAT’S NOT SO GOOD ABOUT THE Spinshot Plus-2

Nothing 😛

WHO IS THE Spinshot Plus-2 SUITABLE FOR?

Whether you are a recreational player looking to improve your tennis or an advanced player seeking a reliable training partner, the Spinshot provides exactly what you need in a ball machine.

WHO IS THE Spinshot Plus-2 NOT SUITABLE FOR?

The Spinshot Plus-2 is relatively expensive, even though it offers an incredible number of features and excellent quality. For players who do not require all the functions, Spinshotsports offers significantly cheaper ball machines that may be sufficient.
