Hi all,
My son and I took Tenniix out on court today for a session, and overall it worked well and happy with it as a basic ball machine. Below is our initial feedback and a couple of videos.
I had some trouble with the app at the start. It had an updated overnight and required me to sign up again, so I couldn’t get it working immediately. I used the voice commands first, and while it worked, the experience felt a bit clumsy as I had to repeat the same commands and had to refer to the command sheet too often.
Once I managed to sign up and log in, the app performed better than the voice module, although it still felt slightly laggy at times. The preset functions were also not accurate. Balls were going into the net or landing short, so I had to manually adjust the speed, trajectory, and spin to produce a consistent baseline ball. The machine felt sturdy balls struck it from the baseline without causing any damage.
I also noticed a few issues for Tenniix take note. It would be great if the machine had a front handle to make it easier to move it around. The sides “wings” of the panels extend beyond the sides of the main body, making it difficult to lay the machine flat horizontally in the car boot. Because of this, I had to transport it vertically, which isn’t ideal as it can easily fall over during transport. With the app, I was also unable to change the ball settings on the fly, which was frustrating, as I had to stop ball delivery every time to make adjustments.
