Thank you for purchasing a SPINSHOT Plus-2 tennis ball machine. This
manual contains important information concerning the proper use and
care of your ball machine. Please read the owners manual completely
before operating your machine.
What Tennis Balls to Use
Normal pressurized tennis balls or pressureless balls can be used in your
Spinshot tennis ball machine. Pressureless balls are recommended for their
longer life and more consistent bounce compared to pressurized balls.
The consistency of ball throws will depend on the consistency of the tennis
balls being used. A mixture of new and old balls will produce inconsistent
throws. Inconsistent ball throws can also be caused by excess dirt and ink
build up on throwing wheels. Cleaning the throwing wheels as described in
the Maintenance and Cleaning section will restore a consistent performance.
Important Warnings
Do not reach or look into the ball exit hole without turning the main power
off, and only after both wheels come to a complete stop.
Do not stand closer than 10 meters in front of the ball machine when the
power is on.
Do not place balls or foreign objects into the ball hopper while the feeder
tray is moving. It could cause jam and damage the feeder motor.
Overloading of balls into the ball hopper may result in a jam of the feeder.
No more than 120 balls should be put inside the ball hopper.
Do not use your machine while it is raining. Do not use wet tennis balls.
