Today many people who don’t enjoy running, weight machines or aerobics are looking for an activity that’s fun, simple to do and at the same time conditions the body. The weather and time of day must also be taken into consideration when choosing an activity especially if it is usually done outdoors. Many have chosen tennis as an enjoyable way to work off stress and stay in shape. Tennis can be played alone or with friends and there are many tennis clubs, country clubs and health clubs that offer indoor courts as well as an outdoor court. If playing alone, practicing or learning, the tennis ball machine is an invaluable piece of equipment. Used by professional trainers for years, these machines are available to the public in many different sizes, shapes and prices and offer a variety of options.
The beginning tennis player must choose from a considerable amount of equipment available, including tennis racquets, tennis balls, proper shoes and attire as well as an easy to use and transport tennis ball machine.
There are many types and brands of tennis ball machines available in sports equipment shops, department stores with an extensive sports department and online stores.
There are several options available that allow the beginner to enjoy a pleasant learning experience without being expected to demonstrate the speed and dexterity of a more seasoned player.
Many machines shoot tennis balls in a lateral pattern that mimics the movements of another player. When one is first learning, it is more important to focus on the body stance, swing and focus on the ball rather than running around the court. Once the swing is mastered, the next level is to incorporate the ability to hit the ball in a specific direction while moving around the court. For this reason, a machine that offers the option of a consistent trajectory and speed is the most efficient.
Experienced players agree on the best tennis ball machine for beginners – isam3. The isam-3 has been discontinued, but all isam models offer options to suit any tennis player from beginner and occasional user to full time pro. The isam name has always been well known among professionals at golf clubs as a leader in the industry and they now offer a wide range of personal units including the isam-1, the sam p1 and the sam sp4.

The ball hopper for the isam-1 holds up to 250 balls, while the sam p1 holds 300 – eliminating the need to constantly retrieve tennis balls. The isam-1 hopper turns over for storage and makes a sturdy cover.
The sam p1 has all of the great features of the previous model but also includes the ability to put a spin on the ball as it is released. It also boasts a retractable handle and wheels for easy portability. The battery power lasts three to four hours, assuring time enough for a complete session before recharging is necessary.
