Tennis Ball Feeder Training Tool Convenient Ball Storage Device | Alternative to Stationary Ball Baskets | Holds 23 Tennis Balls | Made in USA | 20.25” x 14” x 3.25

My wife recently wanted to learn to play tennis. We did a couple sessions with me hitting balls to her, but I spent so much time chasing them down that she didn't have enough time to get comfortable. Hit two balls. Chase. Hit two balls. Chase. With the Speedfeed I can move around and give my wife the repetitive practice she needs to develop a good swing.The actual device is light and comes out of the box ready to go. The box arrived. We got it out. And we were playing 10 minutes later. This has made practice so much easier -- and her swing is getting much better!

Works well– it's useful for my commute to the courts, as you can strap it on which is easier than dragging around the ball basket on the subway. Its easy to move around on the court while its strapped on and best of all– doesn't take up much space in my apt – I'd recommend it.

PROSWorks as advertized. Holds 23 balls with good mobility and quick access.The ball loading point is easy to reach so you can load the 23 balls quickly. It is also in a position where my students can load me up while I am still instructing other players in the group.Definitely a TIME saver and a BACK saver!Balls drop naturally to the feed point as I move about the court.CONSVery brittle "prototype" plastic....although thick, so I'm hoping it will hold up....we will see after I put it through it's paces.Some of the clips holding the plastic form together came broken but there were enough still intact to keep the unit together. It will likely take some screws or duct tape to hold it together at some point. (I'm a coach AND a dad so no shame)The ball feed opening is VERY rough if not somewhat SHARP as another reviewer noted. Clearly came straight off the mold and tooling machines and went straight to the box without a finishing process....sharp edges and some burrs left behind. I used some flat and half round files, finishing with a fine grit sandpaper to shape the edges to a smooth rounded finish...feels and works great after that modification. (I really just finished the job that should have been done by the manufacturer).SUGGESTIONS TO THE MANUFACTURERTest it extensively with critical users ...not just friends.The ball feed position is somewhat awkward. Likely okay for a casual user but for 100s of reps as a coach, it is bound to create some repetitive stress on the shoulder since the feed opening is slightly behind the users body and requires a firm sideways action to pull the ball out. It creates an unnatural motion. To remedy, the feed opening should point downward rather than sideways for a more ergonomic motion. The way it is constructed, the user has to use a pulling motion moving outward from BEHIND the hip directly to the side. Like a weird lateral dumbell raise. With the starting point being slightly behind the body, it creates that unnatural movement.The shoulder straps do the job ok, but a chest strap to keep the unit a bit more stable while moving about would be ideal. A bit of padding wouldn't hurt either....I hear you on keeping costs down but it gets to the point of feeling cheap....NOT "low cost", just CHEAP...to the point one questions the $40 price point.I added a chest strap to mine from and old backpack and it works great....may just change out the straps entirely.BOTTOM LINE:I LOVE the concept and find it worth the $40 (primarily because of the concept since there is probably $3 worth of materials at wholesale and maybe $10 worth at retail)I will likely buy another one, warts and all, for my coaching parnter. (And will modify that one as well)Like the other user said. Hoping version 2.0 brings some improvements.

Yesterday I was able to put SpeedFeed through its paces - which resulted in fewer paces, more practice. Used it again today - I'm hooked. I was concerned It would be uncomfortable, an unnatural distraction. But it's light, moves with my moves, contouring without restricting. Balls come out at the right height without reaching. Beyond being a time saver and allowing unbroken shot repetition, it saves my dodgy back: no more incessant bending to retrieve balls. So many tennis gimmicks on the market, but this practice tool is a pleasant surprise, not a gimmick.

I really liked the ease of use of the product. It does allow for movement of play while teaching, which is a definite plus. Having the front portion of your body free makes it easy to move to different points of the court for instruction while having a ball ready to go as needed. I would recommend this item.

The SPEEDFEED was perfect for my constant play on the tennis court. I was able to hold many tennis balls inside the feed and it’s lightweight made it very easy to move around with. I suggest using the SPEEDFEED rather than having to constantly hold a bunch of tennis balls at one time in your pockets. Also, you are able to save time chasing balls around as well.

Very convenient and efficient for practicing/hitting with partners and/or practicing serve.

This product is a great replacement for the tennis basket for training because it allows the coach or training partner to feed the balls while actively playing. Highly recommended!
