Which Machine Is for Me
When considering which machine is right for you, it is important to consider 3 main factors.

The first is whether or not having a remote control is essential to you. Having a remote control makes practices seamless, without having to go to the machine each time you want to change your type of shots.
This also saves on balls being wasted as you walk over to the other side to stop the machine.
All Silent Partner machines come with a remote control except the Edge Sport.

The second, is whether you want a battery powered, AC powered or ACDC powered machine. Battery powered machines are a bit heavier than AC powered machines but offer ultimate freedom. If your court has an outlet on it, the AC option may be right for you.
AC means that you simply plug your machine into the court and play. This saves the weight of the battery in the machine. ACDC powered machines offer the choice to use either an outlet or a battery, giving you ultimate flexibility. Keep in mind that AC powered machines are more expensive than battery powered and ACDC powered machines are more expensive than AC powered.

The third factor to consider, is which features you require. We offer ball machines that start at basic features like topspin and backspin, all the way to random oscillation and full programmability.
