FAQs

Can I use any type of tennis ball?

The machine is designed for standard tennis balls. Using oversized or damaged balls may cause jams.

How long does it take to reload?

The hopper holds 10 balls, which typically provides about 50 seconds of continuous practice before needing a reload.

Is the Feed Buddy weather-resistant?

The unit is not waterproof. It should only be used in dry conditions and brought indoors immediately after use.

Does it come with an AC adapter?

No, the machine is designed specifically for battery-powered portability.

Can this be used for serving practice?

No, the feed trajectory is too low to simulate a full-court serve; it is intended for groundstroke and volley drills.

Troubleshooting

Machine fails to launch balls.

Check that batteries are installed correctly and have sufficient charge. Ensure the ball path is clear of obstructions.

Inconsistent ball delivery.

Verify that the tennis balls are dry and not overly worn. Ensure the machine is sitting on a level surface.

Motor sounds strained or sluggish.

Replace the batteries with a fresh set, as low voltage can impact motor speed and feed accuracy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using your Feed Buddy, ensure the machine is placed on a flat, stable surface. Insert the required batteries and load the feeder with up to 10 standard tennis balls. Before starting, toggle the distance setting to your preferred range. To maintain performance, keep the ball projection wheels free of dirt and debris. Always remove the batteries if the machine will be stored for an extended period to prevent terminal corrosion. Store the device in a cool, dry place to protect the internal electronic components.
