Padel ball machines
A padel club and a player need very different things from a ball machine. A club needs a machine that runs every day and builds a growing base of regular customers. A player mostly wants as much training as possible for the money – and that rarely means buying a machine of their own.
Padel clubs
For a club, a ball machine isn't a gadget. It's a service that has to meet your customers' needs, bring in recurring revenue and make your coaches more effective. That takes more than hardware: support, servicing and a replacement machine fast when something breaks.
Players
Lots of players assume a machine of their own is the best option. But more and more clubs have a ball machine you can use when you book a court, and in some places you can subscribe to one with court time included. We help you pick the option that gives you the most training for your money.
| Padel club | Player | |
|---|---|---|
| How often the machine is used | Several sessions a day, by lots of different players | A few sessions a week, by the same player |
| What matters most | Reliability, ease of use, support and servicing | Cost per training session and simplicity |
| The most common mistake | Choosing a machine on price alone | Buying a machine when the club already has one |
| Our advice | A service that includes the machine, app, support and servicing | Use your club's machine, or a subscription where there is one. Only buy if you have your own court |
