Play as a coach offering balls

Train Against a Thinking Opponent, Not a Mindless Machine. Forget predictable, repetitive ball feeders. The Padelshooter is the first machine that understands padel isn't played on a spreadsheet—it's played in the moment. We engineered true adaptive randomness to replicate the intelligent unpredictability of a real opponent or a coaching partner. It doesn't just shoot; it plays with you. Unscripted Drills: Experience shots that vary in placement, height, and speed within your defined zones—just like in a real match where no two points are ever the same. Reactive Training: Never know if the next ball will be a low volley at your feet or a high lob over your shoulder. This sharpens your reflexes, decision-making, and readiness for anything. The Human Touch, Automated: It delivers the strategic variety a coach would, allowing you to practice authentic sequences—like a deep ball followed by a sharp drop shot—that other machines can't replicate. Stop practicing patterns. Start playing the game.

More Than a Machine:

The Story Behind Padelshooter

Who We Are
We are De Racketclub, a Dutch company founded by passionate players, coaches, and technical innovators. We’re not a faceless corporation—we’re a close-knit team of tennis coaches and padel enthusiasts, led by Arnold (the engineer behind Padelshooter software and all-round company manager) and Xiangyang (heading operations and global sales). Together with our whole team, we’re committed to solving real challenges on the padel court.

Our journey started in 2007 when Arnold—a tennis trainer and engineer with a knack for repairing machines—focused the company on tennis products, particularly ball and stringing machines. His technical expertise shaped our foundation in delivering reliable, high-performance sports equipment.

Our “Aha!” Moment
Our dive into padel began in 2020. As seasoned tennis ball machine specialists and coaches, we quickly fell for padel—but hit a frustrating wall. We realized every machine available, even those labeled “for padel,” was just a repurposed tennis machine. They offered predictable, one-dimensional drills: no mixing low volleys with high bandejas, no randomization within defined zones, and no side-specific training for realistic wall play. Nothing captured the dynamic, unpredictable flow of a real padel match.

So, we decided to build what was missing.

What Makes a True Padelshooter
Here’s what sets us apart: We are a software-first innovator that perfects hardware.

While the external machine is built to our precise specifications, the real genius lies inside. Our proprietary Padelshooter software and app turn hardware into the world’s only smart padel trainer. This is why lookalike machines from Amazon or Alibaba can’t match the genuine Padelshooter experience.

Our Promise to You

  • Innovation: We continually refine our machines and software using direct feedback from players and coaches like you.

  • Expert Support: We offer unmatched service. Questions? WhatsApp directly with the engineers who built your machine.

  • Fair Play: We believe in honest pricing and direct relationships—no middlemen, no markups, just value.

Our goal is simple: To help you train smarter, play better, and love the game even more.

Now we can sell from Netherlands and from China, just as you want. Xiangyang manages the sales from both locations and Arnold does the technical innovations. The Padelshooter software and app is working on some machines and our future goal is to implement on our own made machine hardware that is fully perfectioned for padel.
