1. The PadelShooter important information before starting
• The PadelShooter 3A is a machine with some extra features compared to the PadelShooter
1. The battery is external and the PadelShooter 3A has an extra simple remote control with
only “On” and “Off” buttons which can stop / start shooting which is very useful because you
don’t need to pause the machine with your phone. Also the frequency of the PadelShooter
3A could be set faster than the PadelShooter 1 which is especially useful when you want to
shoot balls to 2 players, they both could be busy with hitting balls and they don’t need to
wait for the other player.
• Some padel courts (for example blue “Mondo” courts) are made of a kind of plastic that
forms a hard slippery layer around the shooting wheels. After some time the balls will be
shot with less speed (slippery, so less grip on the balls) and finally possibly ball blocks. If this
happens, the wheels should be made rougher. De Racketclub has a very good solution for
this. If this happens, contact De Racketclub and we help you how to solve this.
• The machine app will be a bit “overwhelming” because you can set the machine almost as
perfect as you want. Many details could be set in the “Config screen” and saved once, so the
PadelShooter will use your preferred settings every time you use the machine.
• All the speed settings are a percentage of the maximum speed of the machine. In the Config
screen there is a value for “Max Speed”, which is default set to a number “50”. If you see
that all the standard trainings are too fast or too slow, you can easily change all trainings in
one time by changing this “Max Speed” to a higher/lower number. This could also be used
when playing outside and there is high wind (from front or back).
• Some padel courts (for example blue “Mondo” courts) are made of a kind of plastic that
forms a hard slippery layer around the shooting wheels. After some time the balls will be
shot with less speed (slippery, so less grip on the balls) and finally possibly ball blocks. If this
happens, the wheels should be made rougher. De Racketclub has a very good solution for
this. If this happens, contact De Racketclub and we help you how to solve this.
• The trainings could be made perfect for all level players. If you found in the inbuilt trainings
(Trainings screen) that changing the settings is better for your level, you can make that
permanent, by setting these “best settings” in the Config screen for every training. You can
make preferred settings for Single play or for Double play, often for doubles the frequency is
higher and the area of the court is wider. The settings of Speed, Frequency, Width and
Height have a value from 0-100. This is a % and means that 0% is the lowest and 100% the
highest value. In the Config screen there is a setting “Pause level”, which adds an extra
pause only after every high ball in the inbuilt trainings (0=no pause, 100=2 secs extra pause).
• In the Config screen you can find for every training a “Net” setting. This “Net” setting is the
height of the lowest position to shoot balls, this is often the net. For every training the
PadelShooter won’t play balls BELOW the “Net” position. So, if you change the “Height”
during play and it won’t go lower, probably the “Net” position for the training is higher than
the “Height”. Sometimes you only want high balls between a lowest position and a highest
position. The height for the balls is set by the “Height” setting and the lowest position for a
training could be set with this “Net” setting. Also, several trainings move (randomly)
between a lowest and a highest position. The highest position could be set by the “Height”
and the lowest position could be set by the “Net” in the Config screen. After changing, don’t
forget to save the Config settings by “Write for Single” (settings for 1 player) or “Write for
Doubles” (settings for 2 players).

• In the inbuilt trainings (Trainings screen), there is a “Limit Left” and “Limit Right”. This is for
choosing just a part of the horizontal padel court. The horizontal court is from 0 (absolute
left position) to 100 (absolute right position), so if you only want to play at the right side of
the court, you can set Limit Left=50 and Limit Right=100, for left side of court Limit Left=0
and Limit Right=50. But you can also choose other parts of the court to only play in that
area. Remember that, when limiting the court, all trainings use the “Width” then in that
area. If you limit the court to right side and you want to play in the whole right side, then set
“Width” to 100, 100 is then 100% of the right side area.
• The position of the PadelShooter should be at the other side of the net (of the players) in the
horizontal middle
as close as possible to the back glass. When setting the training
to “Fixed” and the “Limit Left” to 0 and “Limit Right” to 100, the PadelShooter should shoot
exactly at the middle service line. But you are sure free to change the position to your needs
.
• The settings could be changed by moving the “ball” in the 5 sliders, but you can also change
the values above by typing the exact number and then save it by pressing ENTER button.
After changing the settings, press again the training to use the new settings and start that
training. This settings are only changed during this training session. If you want to store it
permanent, press “Save” (be careful because all settings changed from the trainings during
this session will then be changed) or go to the Config screen to set all settings permanent for
all trainings (this is the safest method).
• In the Trainings screen, some buttons have a “~”, which means this is a variable number. So,
“Bandeja~ - Volley” means 1 volley and a variable number of bandejas (1-10, you don’t know
how much every time).
• The PadelShooter 3A works with an external Lithium battery. Included is a charger with a
small connector that should be put in the hole of the battery for charging. The battery also
has a connection for the cable to connect the battery with the machine. Connect the cable
to the battery and the machine (“DC”). Then you can turn on the machine by setting the
switch to “DC”. For charging, you only need to take the battery and connect it to the
charger, no machine needed for charging.
2. App installation
At the moment the app is only available for Android, also a (cheap, about € 100,- in the market)
Android tablet without a phone connection (only Bluetooth is necessary for controlling the
Padelshooter and WIFI for installing the app and download settings and programs) could be used. An
Android tablet only needs a WIFI connection for once installing the app from the internet. When
using the machine, no phone connection is needed. For installing the app, you can download it from
the PadelShooter website.
1.
Start your Android phone/tablet and in your browser go to: padelshooter.com,
Support, Downloads (Padelshooter 3A) with password: sportisfun
2.
In the section “APPS” click the button for downloading the app. The app will then be
installed on your phone, follow the instructions on your phone for completely install, ignore
the warnings (because it is not installed from the Google App store). When starting the app,
it will automatically search for the Padelshooter 3A machine, so the machine should be
turned on to find the machine.
5 | P a g e
3.
An icon on your phone is created to start the app.
4.
The PadelShooter app is now ready to control the PadelShooter, after the
PadelShooter is connected, the Bluetooth icon is green, the machine is then “ready to be
controlled”.
6 | P a g e
3. App usage
The app is for controlling the PadelShooter ball machine.
The steps for connecting:
1. Turn ON the PadelShooter machine
2. Start the PadelShooter app
3. The app will connect automatically and the Bluetooth icon will turn green
Another way for connecting, is via your own phone. You then search the machine on your phone,
just like you should do with a headphone or a some other Bluetooth device:
1. Turn on the Padelshooter
2. Go to “Settings” on your phone / tablet
3. Select “Bluetooth”
4. The Android phone / tablet will search for Bluetooth devices, select the Padelshooter in the
list and fill in the password “1234”
5. Start the Padelshooter app and it will automatically connect with the machine, the
Bluetooth icon at the top-right will change from grey to green, when connected with the
machine. If it failed, you could press the “Bluetooth” button for connecting again.
7 | P a g e
You can go from here to several screens:
• Trainings screen, where you find all kind of inbuilt trainings
• Programs screen, where you can program your own trainings and can download “ready
made” trainings from the Padelshooter website
• Config screen is for setting the best settings of the Trainings in the Trainings screen and for
downloading/managing programs. From all the sub-screens, you can go back to this Main
screen.
In all the screens are some important settings of the trainings and programs. These are Speed, Spin,
Frequency, Width and Height, which are presented by a line with a ball that you could change to
another value by “moving” the ball left or right. All these settings, is from 0 to 100, except spin (-
50=topspin till +50=backspin). Every training starts with the best settings but you can change the
way you prefer. Also these starter settings (best settings) could be set by yourself (Config screen).
Or, when you are busy with a training and you found that you set the right settings, press “Save”
button to save permanently.
The best usage of the app/machine is to:
• Choose (Main screen) if you play with 1 or 2 players, in Config screen you can set the
preferred settings for 1 or 2 players. These are used when setting 1 (“My Single” in Config
screen) or 2 players (“My Doubles” in Config screen) in this Main screen. Because for 2
players, the “Frequency” of balls should be higher and also the “Width” should be bigger, it
is useful to make different settings to play with 1 or 2 players.
• Start with the “Trainings” screen and get used to the sliders and settings
• For every training, first try the best settings for you by changing the speed, spin, frequency,
width and height.
• If some balls go straight into the back wall, (1) set speed lower or (2) set height lower. If all
trainings are shooting too fast/slow, you might change the “Max Speed” (in Config screen),
the Speed settings are always a % of this “Max Speed”.
• If some balls in a training go into the net, set Net Position higher for the specific training (go
to Config screen, search “Net” in the training you want to change, Write for Single or Write
for Doubles), the machine won’t shoot lower than the Net position for the specific training.
If, for example for “Random”, the Height is set to 10 and the Net position for “Random” is
set to 15, the machine won’t shoot lower than 15. The Net position is for protecting the
machine to shoot into the net with all kind of variable trainings (higher and lower balls). If
you use a higher speed, the Net position could be set lower.
• Sometimes the first few balls are slower or faster than the next ones. Wait for the other balls
if the settings are right, then eventually change.
• Set the machine as close as possible to the back wall. If you play with 2, set in the horizontal
middle and first try a few balls at fixed position in Trainings (at width 50, limit left/right 0-
100), the balls then should land at the middle service line (middle of 2 service fields).
Eventually turn the machine to shoot precise in the middle.
• It is sure possible to set the machine at other positions (for example in a corner with the
direction of the machine to the opposite corner), just as you want.
The app software consists of 4 screens:
1.
Main screen
8 | P a g e
The Main screen is the start of the app. With this screen you should make the
(Bluetooth) connection with the machine and let you choose to go to one of the
other screens. Before going to another screen, you should set with how many
persons you want to use the machine (1 or 2). The most ideal settings for the
trainings are then set for the number of persons you choose.
2.
Trainings screen
The Trainings screen offers various Padel trainings for 1 or 2 players.
3.
Programs screen
The Programs screen can run self-made programs. These programs could be made
by yourself or be downloaded from the Racketclub website.
4.
Config screen
The Config screen can finetune all the trainings of the inbuilt “Trainings” screens. All
trainings have starter settings, which you can change in the screens with the sliders.
When changing in the Trainings screen, the slider settings are set temporarily, in the
Config screen you can change it for all times. When you choose a training in the
Trainings screen, the start settings of the sliders (speed, spin, frequency, width and
height) are set in the best way. In the Config screen you can change the starter
settings for all the trainings/buttons.
The ”Net” position (for setting the minimal height of the low balls), could only be set
in the Config screen for every training.
The “Max Speed” is the maximum speed (a number from 1-250) that will be used in
the speed sliders of all screens. The 0-100 slider speed setting is a % of the
Maximum Speed. This maximum speed is normally the best value for Padel (50).
When changing the “Max Speed”, the Speed for all trainings will be changed
globally, also for the Programs. For example, when there is a lot of wind or you use
different balls than before, you can change the speed for all trainings in one time.
The “Pause Level” gives an extra delay after only high balls in some trainings (Volley
– Bandeja trainings). 0 means no pause, 100 means 2 secs extra pause after the high
ball. This value could also be set higher for just 1 player and lower for 2 players
doing the training. Normally you set the frequency of the balls (pause between each
ball) by Frequency” but because high balls needs longer time to arrive at the player
and sometimes also players let these bounce on the ground / wall, more time is
needed to shoot the next ball, which is set with the pause level (only for the
Trainings screen, not for Programs).
In all the screens, 5 values (slider lines) could be set for:
1.
Height: for the height of the balls or a maximum height in some variable height trainings, the
range is then between the net position (set in Config screen) and the height you set.
2.
Width: for the range of the horizontal movement. Use a low value for just a small range
(from the horizontal middle) and larger value for a wider range (for doubles). Also the Width slider
could be used to set the exact position (Fixed). The slider setting is set from the view of the player,
so left is 0 and right is 100.
9 | P a g e
3.
Frequency: for setting pause between the balls. A low frequency will pause a long time
between each ball and a high frequency will pause shorter.
4.
Spin: set the spin for the ball, 0 is the middle and shoots a flat ball without spin, left (a
negative value) gives topspin and right (a positive) value gives backspin to the ball (often used in
Padel).
5.
Speed: sets the speed of the balls, this speed is a % of the Maximum Speed specified in the
Config screen.
The numeric values of all sliders are displayed above the sliders for Speed, Spin, Frequency, Width
and Height. Just as the sliders, you could also enter these values here by hand and then press
“Enter”.
A value, that is not visible in the Trainings screen, is the “Net Position”, this value should be set in
the Config screen. In many trainings the height is varying between Net Position and the Height slider
value. If the speed is low, the Net Position should be set higher because the speed is too low to shot
over the net. When setting the “Net Position” for a training in Config screen, the machine won’t
move lower than this “Net” position for that training so the balls will go over the net even when the
speed is low.
In every screen, at the bottom there is a “Back” button to go back to the Main screen. From the
Main screen, you can access all the other screens.
Position of ball machine
The ball machine could be set in the horizontal middle at the back wall and shoot in the middle
direction. It is also possible to set the ball machine in one corner, just what you like. You should keep
in mind that the optimal settings for the ball machine were made for the ball machine in the
horizontal middle against the back wall. If you set the PadelShooter at a different position and/or
different direction, the settings might be necessary to change (Config screen).
10 | P a g e
4. Main Screen
In the Main screen, you can choose with how many players you want to use the machine (1 or 2
players). For many trainings the pause between the balls will be shorter for 2 players than for 1
player. Also, the width (horizontal) will be larger for 2 players. You can set different settings for 1 or
2 players in Config screen and these settings are then selected by choosing 1 or 2 players here.
Selecting 1 player will use the settings in Config screen for “Single” and selecting 2 players will use
the settings made in Config screen for “Doubles”.
From the Main screen, you can select which screen you want to use: Trainings (for inbuilt trainings)
or Programs (for making your own programs or run downloaded programs from the
Padelshooter.com website).
When selecting the “Config” button, you go to the Config screen for setting some details in the app
and manage some. The Trainings have the optimal settings and you only should use the Config
screen when you want to finetune the trainings.
In the Trainings screens, you can change the Speed, Spin, Frequency, Height and Width for the
trainings. When you change some of these settings, these will be set during this time you use the
11 | P a g e
app. When you think the settings are “perfect” for you, you can use “Save” button for storing the
settings also for the future. The settings are stored for the number of players you selected earlier in
the Main screen during this training session. Remember that also the settings for trainings, you
changed earlier in this session, will be saved. You can see the changed settings later in the Config
screen. Some settings can only be set in the Config screen:
For every training:
The “Net” position, this is height of the net and is just a number you should “play” a little
with, so you don’t shoot balls in the net anymore, especially useful when you want a lower
speed. The Padelshooter never shoots balls lower than the “Net” position, even when you
set the “Height” lower.
For common use:
The “Max Speed”, this is the Maximum value for the speed. In the trainings you use a
number from 0-100, this is a percentage of the Maximum Speed. So, if you raise the
Maximum Speed, in all trainings the speed will be automatically changed with higher speed.
Be careful with this setting, but it can also be very useful, for example when there is huge
wind from one side of the court. When the wind is in front of the ball machine, you can set
the Maximum Speed some higher and respectively for wind in back of ball machine, set the
Maximum Speed some lower. The “Max Speed” value is also used for your own programs
(Programs screen).
The “Pause Level”, for setting some pause in trainings of the Trainings screen with high balls
(Bandeja – Volley trainings and Cross trainings). Only after the high ball, an extra pause will
be included from 0 (no pause) to 100 (2 secs pause). This could be useful when you are not a
top-level player or when you want to train to hit the high balls after hitting the back wall
(then it needs some extra pause, otherwise the next ball will be shot before the last ball was
hit back). The “Pause Level” is only used in the (inbuilt) Trainings for the high balls.
12 | P a g e
5. Trainings Screen
The Trainings screen is for playing several specific Padel trainings. The value for the Speed, Spin,
Frequency, Width and Height could be changed with the sliders. The value of the sliders is displayed
in the bar above the sliders. These values could also be changed by manually type the numbers and
press “Enter”. Remember that the “Height” is the height of the balls but if, for some training, the
“Net” position is set to a higher value than the height, the balls will still be shot at the “Net”
position! Normally you use the Height for the high ball (bandeja in Bandeja – Volley trainings) or the
highest range position in some random trainings (for example Random, Vert, Hor ~, 2-Line ~) and the
Net (in Config screen) for setting the low ball (for example volleys in Bandeja – Volley trainings) and
the lowest position in range trainings (for example Random, Vert, Hor ~, etc).
The Limit: Left % and Right % is used to only use a horizontal part of the court. In Padel, often players
only stand on left side or on right side. All the trainings could be limited to the side you prefer. The
whole court is from 0% (left) to 100% (right), the middle line is 50%. This means the left side is from
0-50% and the right side is from 50-100%. You can use whatever % that you want. For example, if
you only want to play balls at the right side on your backhand (when you are right-handed), you can
limit the court from 50-70%. Within this part of the court, you can still use the horizontal movement
(“width”) to use that part full (100%) or only part of this (f.e. half: 50%).
If you see that for a training the ball is shot to the back wall, the speed or the height should be set
lower. If you see that in some (variable) trainings some balls are shot into the net, you should set the
“Net” position higher for that training (Config screen). If you have trainings with a high (bandeja) and
a low (volley) ball, there is an extra pause after the high ball, change the extra pause with “Pause
level” in Config screen.
13 | P a g e
The standard position of the ball machine is in the middle of the field as deep as possible against the
back wall. But, to shoot more to the side wall, it is also very useful to position the ball machine in the
opposite corner of the corner and side wall where you want to shoot balls. For example to train
service returns with balls in the corner and against the back / side walls, set the machine in the
corner and point it to the opposite corner. The ball machine in the middle can’t play balls against the
side wall, so change the position to let it shoot to the side wall.
“Hor”: Horizontal Movement
The balls will be shot randomly at 1 height. This training is meant for 1 person but it could also be
used for 2 players as a team. The horizontal position is completely random so it is possible that you
get the balls several times at the same location, this is pure random.
You can set:
•
Height: for the height of all the balls
•
Width: for the range of the horizontal movement. Use a low value for just a small range and
larger value for a wider range (for doubles). The Width is set from the middle of the area you have
chosen. Remember that this area is within the area you choose with the “Limit settings”.
•
Frequency: for setting pause between the balls. A low frequency will pause a long time
between each ball and a high frequency will pause shorter.
•
Spin: set the spin for all the balls, 0 is the middle and shoots a flat ball without spin, a
negative value gives topspin and a positive value gives backspin to the ball (often used in Padel).
•
Speed: sets the speed of the balls, this is a % of the “Max Speed” set in the Config screen, so
100% is the Maximum Speed.
→ Keep in mind that the setting for “Width” is only in the area that you limited by “Limit Left /
Right”.
“Hor ~”: Horizontal Movement with variable height
The machine moves left/right all the time and shoots balls. The ball will be shot randomly at a
random height, the lowest position you specify with “Net” (in Config screen), the highest position
you specify by “Height”. This training is meant for 1 person but it could also be used for 2 players as
a team. You can use this training for getting small variations in height for the volleys or other shots.
Depending on the Frequency settings, the balls are shot in different directions moving from one side
to the other. If the Frequency is set in some way, sometimes the machine moves to the other side
but the next ball is shot when back at the same side. Then you might change the Frequency a bit.
14 | P a g e
You can set:
•
Height: for the maximum height of the balls (the minimum height is set for “Net” position in
Config screen at “Hor ~”).
•
Width: for the range of the horizontal movement. Use a low value for just a small range and
larger value for a wider range (for doubles). The Width is set from the middle of the area you have
chosen (by Limit left/right?).
•
Frequency: for setting pause between the balls. A low frequency will pause a long time
between each ball and a high frequency will pause shorter.
•
Spin: set the spin for all the balls, 0 is the middle and shoots a flat ball without spin, a
negative value gives topspin and a positive value gives backspin to the ball (often used in Padel).
•
Speed: sets the speed of the balls, this is a % of the “Max Speed” set in the Config screen, so
100% is the Maximum Speed.
“Vert”: Vertical Movement
The machine moves up/down all the time and shoots balls at a fixed horizontal position.
You can set:
•
Height: for the height of the highest vertical position (the lowest vertical position is set by
“Net” position for Vert in Config screen).
•
Width: for the (fixed) horizontal position. The value of 50 is in the horizontal middle of the
court.
•
Frequency: for setting pause between the balls. A low frequency will pause a long time
between each ball and a high frequency will pause shorter.
•
Spin: set the spin for the balls, 0 is the middle and shoots a flat ball without spin, a positive
value gives topspin and a negative value gives backspin to the ball (often used in Padel).
•
Speed: sets the speed of the balls
➔ Important is also the “Net position”, which could be set in the Config screen (Vertical, Net
position), if balls sometimes go into the net, the Net position should be set higher.
“Random”: Random Movement
The machine shoots balls randomly in height and width position. This is not just left/right and
up/down movement but real random balls between the net position, height position and the range
that is specified with the horizontal slider.
You can set:
•
Height: for the highest possible position to shoot
15 | P a g e
•
Width: for the range of the horizontal movement. Use a low value for just a small range and
larger value for a wider range (for doubles). The range of the balls is set from the horizontal middle
to both sides
•
Frequency: for setting pause between the balls. A low frequency will pause a longer time
between each ball and a high frequency will pause shorter
•
Spin: set the spin for the ball, 0 is the middle and shoots a flat ball without spin, a negative
value (to the left) gives topspin and a positive value gives backspin to the ball (often used in Padel).
•
Speed: sets the speed of the balls
➔ Important is also the “Net position”, which could be set in the Config screen (Vertical, Net
position), if balls sometimes go into the net, the Net position should be set higher.
2-Line
The machine moves left/right all the time and shoots balls at 2 exact positions. This training is for 2
players where every player gets his own ball all the time or for 1 player to get a forehand and a
backhand and a forehand and so on.
You can set:
•
Height: for the height of the balls
•
Width: for the distance of the 2 positions. Use a low value for 1 player playing forehand and
backhand all the time and a high value for 2 players. The Limit left/right also sets the area for
shooting.
•
Frequency: for setting pause between the balls. A low frequency will pause a longer time
between each ball and a high frequency will pause shorter.
•
Spin: set the spin for the ball, 0 is the middle and shoots a flat ball without spin, a positive
value gives topspin and a negative value gives backspin to the ball (often used in Padel).
•
Speed: sets the speed of the balls
Bandeja – Volley
The machine shoots continuously a low ball and a higher ball at random horizontal positions, it is
meant for 1 player at a time but can also be used with 2 players (when setting horizontal range
high). Because the high ball takes longer time to play back, there could be a small delay after the
high ball. This delay could be set in the Config screen (Pause Level). The speed is for all the balls the
same.
You can set:
•
Height: for the height of the high (Bandeja) ball.
•
Width: for the horizontal range where the machine shoots the 2 balls randomly. When the
horizontal slider is on the left, the 2 balls will be shot in a small horizontal range, when on the right
the 2 balls will be shot in a big horizontal range.
16 | P a g e
•
Frequency: for setting pause between the balls. A low frequency will pause a long time
between each ball and a high frequency will pause shorter. There could be set a small delay after the
high ball. The “Pause Level” in the Config screen could be set between 0 (no delay after high ball)
and 100 (2 secs delay after high ball).
•
Spin: set the spin for the ball, 0 is the middle and shoots a flat ball without spin, a negative
value gives topspin and a positive value gives backspin to the ball (often used in Padel).
•
Speed: sets the speed of the balls
➔ The Pause Level (Config screen) sets a delay after just the high ball. If the volley regularly
goes into the net, set the Net Position (Config screen) higher for Bandeja - Volley.
Bandeja~ – Volley (variable)
The machine shoots continuously just 1 low ball (volley) and then a random number (1-10) of higher
balls, randomly in a horizontal range, there is a small delay after the high ball (set in Config screen,
Pause Level).
You can set:
•
Height: for the height of the high (Bandeja) ball.
•
Width: for the horizontal range where the machine shoots the 2 balls randomly. When the
width slider has a low value, the 2 balls will be shot in a small horizontal range, when the width slider
has a high value, the 2 balls will be shot in a high horizontal range. The 2 balls (low and high) could
be shot at different horizontal positions of each other.
•
Frequency: for setting pause between all the balls. A low frequency will pause a long time
between each ball and a high frequency will pause shorter. Always there is a small delay after the
high ball.
•
Spin: set the spin for the ball, 0 is the middle and shoots a flat ball without spin, a positive
value gives topspin and a negative value gives backspin to the ball (often used in Padel).
•
Speed: sets the speed of all the balls
➔ The Pause Level (Config screen) sets an extra delay after just the high ball. If the volley
regularly goes into the net, set the Net Position (Config screen) higher for BV~.
Bandeja – Volley~ (variable)
The machine shoots continuously a random number of low balls (volleys) and then 1 high ball,
randomly in a horizontal range, there is a small extra delay after the high ball (set in Config screen,
Pause Level).
You can set:
•
Height: for the height of the high (Bandeja) ball.
•
Width: for the horizontal range where the machine shoots the balls randomly. When the
width slider has a low value, the 2 balls will be shot in a small horizontal range, when the width slider

has a high value, the 2 balls will be shot in a high horizontal range. The 2 balls (low and high) will be
shot at different horizontal positions of each other.
•
Frequency: for setting pause between all the balls. A low frequency will pause a long time
between each ball and a high frequency will pause shorter. Always there is a small delay after the
high ball.
•
Spin: set the spin for the ball, 0 is the middle and shoots a flat ball without spin, a positive
value gives topspin and a negative value gives backspin to the ball (often used in Padel).
•
Speed: sets the speed of all the balls
➔ The Pause Level (Config screen) sets an extra delay after just the high ball. If the volley
regularly goes into the net, set the Net Position (Config screen) higher for BV~.
Bandeja~ – Volley~ (variable)
The machine shoots continuously first a random number of low balls (volleys) and then a random
number of higher balls, both randomly in a horizontal range, there is a small delay after the high ball
(set in Config screen, Pause Level). The low balls and the high balls will both randomly differ in
height. The low balls (volley) will have the lowest position at the “Net position” and randomly about
20% above the net position. The high balls
