BALL MACHINE
(2025 Season) Good news is Albert has fixed the imploded Ball Machine and we will have another season of Ball Machine practice on Tuesdays from June to August.
The Ball Machine operation will go as follows:
- 5:30 – 7:30 on Tuesdays with absolute good weather.
- To allow for uninterrupted play on court 16 at 5pm we will start the set up at 5:30. We appreciate volunteers to help in the set up.
- We will take down at 7:15 so that the court is free for the 7:30 session.
- Typical operation is 5:45 – 6:45 Baseline rally followed by 6:45 – 7:15 Volley and other shots.
QETC is likely the only recreational tennis club that has a ball machine and we encourage players of all levels to take advantage of this facility. We suggest spending a half-hour session every Tuesday. Novice players can develop muscle memory with practice. Intermediate players can set a target: backhand slices, angle volleys, offensive lobs, etc. You will surprise yourself after a season of practice! Advanced players are also welcome to practice and demonstrate proper stroke techniques.
