SuperCoach

With the SuperCoach, the player can play entire games, receiving different kinds of balls for each stoke, if so desired, to improve reaction time and conditioning. What Big Blue was for chess, the SuperCoach is for tennis.

Dick Gould, who was the 2000 NCAA Coach of the Year (ITA Coach of the Decade 1980s, 1990s), and the Head Coach of the Stanford University's perennial #1 ranked Men Tennis Team, remarked several times during the SuperCoach demonstration: "Very impressive." He also commented: "I didn't think that you can design a machine that can do all this." He was referring to the way the machine can change the type and the location of each consecutive ball.

Version 2.0 increased the flexibility of the programming. It comes from the factory with preset ball parameters, so when you receive the SuperCoach you can use the pre-programed values to program and play. Once you entered a program, you can customize each and every ball by entering the EDIT mode. Here selecting ADJUST each and every ball in the program can be customized as far as where it lands, how far above the net it travels, how big the spin is and what is the timing between two consecutive balls. You can even add spin to a LOB.

The mechanics is manufactured to very high tolerances and durability using aircraft grade anodized aluminum and stainless steel components.
