I was interested in buying an affordable tennis ball machine. I saw this one on Amazon.com. If anybody who has ever used this particular one in the link above, tell me how it works, the information on it, if it's good, etc. The machine is called the "Tennis Twist Ball Machine" (battery-powered). Remember that the link is above to find out if you've used this model before. Thanks.
Check out tennis.about.com/od/racquetsballsstringing/gr/tennistwistgr.htm. It has a good review of the product. Hope this helps..
