"In Saratoga CC kids were playing with SuperCoach. This computer generation felt totally comfortable with the machine. They were programming unbelievable combinations for each other. That was a great fun to watch them, playing their own games!"

This computerized tennis ball machine will give you a real challenge on the tennis court.

Control Panel

Record the games of the latest Grand Slam, and select which set would you want to try on the court. The SuperCoach can reproduce all the ball sequences of any of the sets. It can do so by first programming the locations and ball types of every shot, than adjusting the parameters, such as speed, spin etc. to mach the the ball type exactly. Save it and replay it until you return all the balls perfectly.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

The 4 rows, 16 characters LCD is the heart of the human interface between the user and the SuperCoach. Its operation is similar to a cell phone menu. The UP and DOWN buttons move the cursor (blinking > <) to the desired operation. Enter executes it, and BACK takes you to the previous menu.

For example, when you turn the machine on, the CP displays the menu as seen on the picture.

The Play menu will take you to the next step, such as Recall/Edit or Enter Strokes. Selecting the Options menu will take you to the Calibration menu, where you can calibrate the ejection motors, adjust the horizontal position of the gun, or adjust the ball speed and ball heights over the net.

We will not going into the details here. Most of the menus are intuitive and self explanatory.
