Had the machine for over a week. Had it out twice. Easy to operate and transport. Great service regarding contacting Racquet Depot UK for advice. Delivery was very quick.
Spinfire have taken the best all-round ball machine and made it even better with their version two release.
Tennis ball machines are an excellent way to practice and improve your game, regardless of skill level. The Spinfire Pro 2 makes it easy to practice a wide range of shots, test yourself with a variety of pace, spin and elevation, plus extend your mobility and fitness with ample practice drills.
A number of improvements have been made over the original machine. The Spinfire Pro 2 [v2] offers things you would normally only find on a much more expensive machine. It includes internal movement, an easy-to-use control panel, a multi-function remote control and fully programmable app with AI-Powered Drill Creator and a 150-ball capacity - all wrapped in a very stylish and compact design.
Core Features & Benefits
Internal Movement
Unlike most other ball machines, which change the duration of the ball by moving the whole machine from side to side, the Spinfire Pro 2 moves internally. This allows for faster re-direction and makes shots less predictable. Additionally, the internal parts are black to further disguise shot direction.
Random Modes
On both horizontal and vertical random modes, balls can be delivered through the full width of the singles court with depth variation. The Spinfire Pro 2 can be set to deliver the same trajectory over and over or a variety of random trajectories. 'Horizontal Random' can be set to deliver balls across a narrow, medium or wide area. 'Vertical Random' delivers short or long balls in a random order. Both 'Horizontal Random' and 'Vertical Random' can be combined for a very realistic playing pattern.
Automatic Variation
Speed, spin and/or interval can automatically adjust to play for a more varied training session.
This feature delivers alternating forehands and backhands. It can be set to 'wide', 'medium' or 'narrow' to vary the degree of difficulty. The 'wide' setting makes you run from side to side, 'narrow' allows you to remain in the middle of the court, with 'medium' in between the two. You can also set the timing between each ball.
Extreme Topspin & Slice Capability
Using counter rotating wheels, the Spinfire Pro 2 operates very quietly and can generate maximum topspin and backspin, if desired.
Extreme Lob
Extreme lobs are uncommon in other ball machines on the market, however, with a 60° elevation, the Spinfire Pro 2 easily delivers realistic lobs for repetitive practice, ensuring they are a breeze on game day.
Smartphone App
Easily control the machine using the Spinfire App, available for iPhone and Android. Transform your training with unmatched customisation through the advanced AI-Powered Drill Creator. Design precise, personalised practice sessions effortlessly, utilising the app's full programmability, custom and quick drills, and Random Mode. Just input your desired parameters, and the AI-Powered Drill Creator will generate the drill for you, allowing you to fine-tune the settings or start your perfectly tailored training session right away. Compatible with machines purchased from 22nd July 2024 onwards only.
Remote Control Included
All functions can be controlled remotely, allowing the player to start or pause the machine, as well as change functions, anywhere on court.
Easy Portability
Lightweight and compact, the Spinfire Pro 2 fits in the boot of most cars. The white hopper can be reversed to neatly cover the machine. Robust wheels and an extendable handle allow you to pull or push the machine anywhere.
Lithium Upgrade
Consider the lithium [LiFePO4] battery for the lightest option, at half the weight. Lithium batteries are designed to be recharged thousands of times, many times more than a traditional standard battery. On a long-term basis, the lithium option is more economical, with a life-span of a few decades. Only the Fast Charger is available for selection with any lithium battery configuration.
Three Power Options
You can choose to have a built-in or external battery pack. Alternatively, plug directly into mains power - or any combination of the three. The external battery pack makes the machine much lighter, allowing you to leave the machine in the car and just bring the battery inside for charging. A fast charger is also available, reducing the charging time from 11 hours to 3-4 hours. If your court has easy access to a power point, you may prefer the direct mains option.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which balls do you recommend?
Pressureless balls should ideally be used with any branded ball machine. Our best selling option is the Spinfire Touch.
Can this machine additionally handle junior tennis balls?
Yes. Green, red and orange balls are also supported by this machine. Any junior balls should not be the oversized type.
What are the benefits to ordering an external battery model?
The machine is lighter and allows only the external battery pack to be brought to the power point. Customers usually select the external battery if they plan on storing or charging the battery in a different location to the machine.
Is the battery itself the same whether I opt for an internal or external battery?
Yes. There is no performance difference.
If I choose the internal battery option, can I replace the battery at a later point?
Yes. The process takes less than 30 minutes. Video instructions are available.
Can I order more than one power configuration?
Yes. This product listing only supports the selection of one of the three power configurations though [internal battery, external battery, mains AC]. To order a second power configuration, add the second product to your basket. For example, if you would like an external battery machine AND the AC Mains Power Supply, add both the external battery machine, plus the AC Mains Power Supply to the basket. Or, if you would like both the internal and external battery pack, order the internal battery machine, then add the External Standard Battery Pack or External Lithium Battery Pack to the basket.
Is a normal battery or lithium battery better?
The lithium battery is half the weight, has a 20% greater capacity and can be recharged many more times. The lithium is the most popular choice, however, it is slightly more expensive.
Is the machine different depending on which configuration I select?
No. The machine itself is always the same.
Therefore, could I order a second power configuration at a later stage?
Yes.
Can this machine also be used for padel?
Yes.
Can I use the standard battery charger with a lithium charger?
No. The chargers are different. This product listing will not allow you to add incompatible components to the basket.
Can I use the charger to operate the machine directly off mains power?
No. You can only use the AC Mains Power Supply accessory for operating the machine directly off mains power.
Can I use the Spinfire App with my iPhone or Android?
For machines purchased on or after 22nd July 2024. If you purchased your machine before this date, please contact us.

Purchased the machine from Racquet Depot UK about a month ago. I am still getting used to the machine. I think it takes a little time to understand the best settings for your standard. Particularly in the combined horizontal and vertical modes. I’ve had a minor issue with the machine and I have found David of Racquet Depot UK who is dealing with me to be very professional. This is something which is personally very important to me. I have used the machine probably around 8-10 times and feel there is a lot to gain from a quality ball machine such as this. I personally bought this machine to improve my technique and keep my fitness at a decent level. The remote is so light and was a factor in choosing the Spinfire. All in all, it is a quality machine, backed up with very good after sales service.
This ball machine does exactly what I need. Everything from short, slow balls, to practice put-aways, to fast, heavy, topspin balls, to practice defence. You can vary the horizontal and vertical plane and add randomness or drills. Delivered in one day. I recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their tennis. Very active customer service with fast responses. Thanks again.
From oscillation to topspin + backspin, variety in feed rates and speed settings, and more than sufficient play time, the machine is terrific. I also prefer the internal oscillation to external offered by some other popular machines – it is whisper quiet and has a less predictable feed, which helps keep you on your toes.
I bought the machine 3 weeks ago and can easily say I absolutely love it. I am using it almost 2-3 days every week and it is very user friendly. I am a newbie, and for me, the standard settings work the best. I have played with changing the settings a bit and practicing drills. The battery life is very good. It easily gives me 3+ hours if I put the machine on sleep while I am collecting balls. There is minimal noise. I love the tiny, lightweight remote that fits in my pocket. I opted for an internal battery which is heavier to load off and onto the boot of my car [where it comfortably fits] but the carry handle is very convenient once it can be wheeled to the courts. All in all, it is a top line machine and I am loving my new purchase. Highly recommend to anyone who is keen on improving their game.
This ball machine does exactly what I need. Everything from short slow balls to practice put-aways to fast, heavy, topspin balls to practice defence. You can vary the horizontal and vertical plane and add randomness or drills. The remote is incredibly useful and it is light enough that you don't notice it. Here's hoping all this technology will improve my game!
I ordered this machine two weeks ago - it was out of stock at the time but was delivered surprisingly quickly, within about a week. This is the first tennis ball machine that I have purchased. I did a lot of research and have been very happy so far with my choice of machine and supplier. I love the drill options which essentially make the machine plug and play. The remote is very light and fits comfortably in my pocket. I would definitely recommend this machine and Racquet Depot UK.
I had to wait a couple of weeks for the Spinfire Pro 2 to arrive due to it being out of stock but well communicated throughout and then arrived slightly quicker than I anticipated from the courier. This machine does not disappoint at all! I was worried about the size and weight when moving but no issue at all + fits perfectly into my boot. First ball machine I've owned but have seen others in action and really no comparison. I'm so glad I paid that bit extra to go with the Spinfire Pro 2. The remote is really easy to use, I love the pre-set drills and how the machine is so versatile allowing you to work on so many different shots with ease. Would highly recommend it!
Looking forward to plenty of practice with my new best friend!
