Is Acemate Tennis Robot easy to break if it gets hit by balls?
Not at all. Unlike many machines that use plastic parts, Acemate Tennis Robot is built with high-strength aluminum alloy — including the ball-catching net poles and body frame — so it can easily withstand impact from balls. Plus, since Acemate Tennis Robot catches most of the balls during training, very few actually end up hitting the machine directly. So no worries at all — it’s tough and built to last.

What if I run into issues using Acemate Tennis Robot?

Will Acemate bump into pedestrians or run off the track?
Acemate operates within a predefined movement area and will not move more than 2 meters behind the baseline. Users can also customize this movement zone via the app, ensuring the machine does not leave the court excessively. In real-world use, people naturally maintain a safe distance when crossing a court—just as they do around human players. Extensive user testing has shown that the system is safe, and users have not expressed concern when passing near the machine. However, please note that Acemate does not currently have rear or side obstacle detection. We strongly recommend ensuring the court is free of obstacles before starting a rally session.
Can Acemate Tennis Robot return every shot?
We completely understand your concern! Just like real players, no robot can return every shot, especially unexpected spins, extreme angles, or very fast balls. Acemate is designed to handle most standard rally exchanges reliably, but there will always be occasional shots that fall outside its optimal range.
That said, it still performs consistently in typical training scenarios and is more than capable of supporting both recreational practice and skill development.
What types of courts does Acemate Tennis Robot support?
Acemate Tennis Robot works on nearly all standard court surfaces, including hard courts, clay, and grass.
How is the battery charged, and how long does it last?
Acemate Tennis Robot runs on a removable battery pack, and you can monitor battery status directly in the app. It takes about 2 hours to charge fully and offers up to 2 hours of use per charge. We'll include the correct plug based on your shipping region.
*Actual battery life may vary depending on usage habits and playingenvironment.
Is Acemate waterproof/rainproof? Can it be used in the rain?
No. Acemate is not waterproof and should not be used in rainy or wet conditions.
