The VEVOR is a solid and reliable tennis ball machine that covers the essential training needs: speed, spin, oscillation and basic programmable placement.
We used it for several years, from the Covid period through 2025, and it proved dependable and effective for repetitive training. However, compared with newer-generation machines, its limitations are now obvious. The app is functional but basic, drill programming is limited, and it lacks the flexibility and intelligence offered by more modern systems.
We used the VEVOR ball machine for seven years, with fairly intensive use, around once or twice a week.
And honestly, I have to give it credit: the battery lasted, the machine lasted, and it did its job. For us, it was a very reliable training tool for many years, and it genuinely helped us improve our game.
Of course, compared with today’s more advanced ball machines, it now feels quite dated. Ball placement, left-to-right distribution, lobs and overall shot variety are much more limited than on newer machines. The app is also very basic compared with what is available today.
But it can still do the essentials: feed balls to the left, right and centre, and provide simple, effective repetition drills.
So yes, technology has moved on and there are now much more sophisticated machines available. But after seven years of regular use, I can only have a lot of respect for this machine.
It was reliable, durable, and it genuinely helped us progress. For that alone, it deserves a very positive mention.
