Description
The Pongbot Pace S Pro is an AI tennis ball machine that reacts to you. A wearable tag and two court stations track your movement at 100 Hz with sub-10 cm accuracy, and the machine launches the next ball when you recover to position—so drills follow your rhythm instead of a fixed timer.
Pace fires up to 80 mph with up to 60 rps of topspin or underspin, switches spin in 1.5 seconds, throws lobs up to 8.1 m high and covers the full court. Match Challenge uses data from 10,000+ real matches to adapt shots to your NTRP 1.0–7.0 level, and a 7,800 mAh battery runs up to 8 hours. Pongbot is an official partner of the Australian Open.
