The AceMate S10 is an innovative AI-powered tennis ball machine that can move around the court, track the player and create interactive rally-style training sessions. Its mecanum-wheel system, integrated vision technology and extensive drill customization make it very different from traditional stationary ball machines.
Powerful and particularly impressive for movement-based exercises, the S10 offers a glimpse of what the next generation of tennis training could look like. Our testing show that : the AceMate S10 remains one of the most original and technologically ambitious ball machines we have tested. One of the best ball machine ever seen. (in 2026)
We have now been using the AceMate for a few weeks, and honestly, I like it more and more.
It is a very good ball machine and one I can definitely recommend. It feels solid, well built, and it does a very good job on court.
What I particularly like is the tactical dimension it brings to training. This is something that is often missing with traditional ball machines. Because the AceMate moves around the court, you really feel as if there is an opponent on the other side of the net. It creates a genuine sense of presence on court, and that makes training much more interesting.
The ball weight can sometimes feel a little light, but only occasionally. Overall, the ball quality is actually very good and perfectly suitable for serious training.
I also really like the new Serve Mode. That is an excellent addition and one of my favourite features at the moment.
Battle Mode is also fun and adds another dimension to training. The only problem is that the machine sometimes seems to “steal” quite a few points from us with its scoring decisions! In a way, I suppose they have managed to make it even more human. 😄
Overall, though, this is a genuinely excellent ball machine. It is definitely going to become one of the machines we use very regularly in our training.
It also feels robust and well built, so I really hope it will prove durable over time. If it does, the AceMate will clearly remain an important part of our training setup for a long time.
