Request a Reservation

We don't do instant online booking. Every rental is personally reviewed so we can match you with the right machine, court, and time slot.

  1. Submit your request

    Tell us your preferred date, time, and location using the reservation form.

  2. We confirm availability

    We check the machine, court location, and delivery schedule, then follow up with you directly.

  3. Pay to reserve

    Once confirmed, you'll pay the rental fee and deposit (if applicable) to lock in your reservation.

  4. Delivery or pickup

    The machine is delivered or ready for pickup at your confirmed time.

Not instant booking: because availability depends on machine, court location, delivery distance, and weather, reservations are confirmed manually. We'll follow up quickly by phone, text, or email once we receive your request.

Rental Options

Every player is different. Pick the machine that fits your practice.

  • All machines are fully portable and easy to set up on any court.
  • Every machine comes with a fully charged, high-capacity battery for longer playing time, so you're not tied to a power outlet.
  • These are consistent feeding machines — none of them simulate topspin, backspin, or two-way rallies, and none come with a remote.

Frequently Asked Questions

Reservation & Deposit

A few things to know once your reservation request is confirmed.

How do I pay for my rental?

Once we confirm your date, time, and location, you'll pay the rental fee upfront to reserve your spot. We'll send you a simple payment link at that point — nothing is charged before availability is confirmed.

Is there a deposit?

Yes — a refundable deposit is required for every rental, ranging from $100 to $250 depending on the machine (see pricing above). It's returned in full after the machine comes back with us in good condition.

Will you check my ID?

Yes — we ask to see ID at delivery or pickup for every rental. It's a quick, routine step to keep the equipment safe for everyone who rents it.

What if the weather doesn't cooperate?

Rain happens. If weather affects your session, we're happy to reschedule at no extra cost — just reach out as soon as you know.

Ready to Practice?

Call, text, or send a reservation request — we'll get back to you quickly to confirm availability.
