Pickleball Tutor Spin

Now includes side spin!


The Pickleball Tutor Spin may be small, but it sure is mighty! The machine that revolutionized training for pickleball keeps getting better. The Tutor Spin offers both right spin and left spin. Now you have the ability to practice your returns against the most challenging serves. The Tutor Spin is one of the smallest machines on the market - only 12 x 18 inches wide and 20 inches deep, making it almost half the size of other machines. It also weighs only 30 pounds – easy to transport thanks to the tow bar and caster wheels. This machine can hold up to a whopping 125 pickleballs. Shots are customizable: choose from a high lob, a short dink or a quick, direct fire at speeds up to 60 miles per hour.

The Pickleball Tutor Ball Machine is available in battery-powered or AC models. When the battery is fully charged, it can last up to 2-3 hours. Players can program the machine to fire at intervals between 1 and 10 seconds depending on how quick you want your game to be.

The Pickleball Tutor Machine is available in oscillating (battery or AC power). The oscillating model will randomly fire side-to-side shots, or you can select the 2-line version to set separate shot locations. The machine can be used with either indoor or outdoor pickleballs.

Made in the USA

The USAPA pickleball specifications permit a range in ball diameter (2.854” - 2.992”). If the Pickleball Tutor is used with a mix of both the smaller and larger diameter pickleballs, players may have a varied experience with trajectory. If the machine is set to feed the ball low over the net with the larger diameter ball, the smaller ball may have a lower trajectory, even hitting the top of the net. The distance between the wheels of the machine determine how much pressure is put on the ball and the resulting speed the ball is fed. Therefore, a smaller diameter ball will come out of the machine slightly slower than the larger diameter ball.

    I have had it for only a couple weeks, used it 4 times. Great to have a way to drill alone or w partner. So far I have fallowed a few tutorials and the benefit of drilling shows by the time I finish. Looking forward to improving my game

    Mashin arrives with dented area in front where the balls are push out with mechanism and broken one leg ( screw on the bottom). We use it two times on a court for training. Second time worked only twenty minutes and atop working totally. Before that the balls were running out with no control. Product cost coat is $ 1699.00 call when you pay something this amount that you will get a good quality. Obviously not the case ?

    I have a love/ hate relationship with this machine. It takes a lot of time to set up and setting the elevation is really finicky

  • Compact and Easily Transportable

    I have been using the Lobster for about a year and decided to purchase the Tutor Spin due to its smaller size and weight. The Tutor’s handle allows me to easily carry the machine from house, to car and to the courts. The consistency of the two machines is about the same, meaning, neither machine delivers consistent balls. After setting elevation and ball speed, only some out of 100 balls will actually be within the intended target range. It is common for one ball to be where I want it, waist heigh, and the next to fly over my head, or far wide. Consistency is a problem with both machines. With the Tutor, once the hopper is full of balls, it’s harder to reposition than the Lobster, which is on wheels. It’s more important to set up the Tutor accurately before filling it with balls, whereas the Lobster can be repositioned easily. All in all, I prefer the Tutor because of its greater portability.
