BALL MACHINE

Update: The ball machine operation will end on August 29 Tuesday. A big thank you to the volunteers and the participants. Hope we have perfect weather for the last few sessions. – Peter

Weather permitting, the ball machine will be set up on court 16 every Tuesday starting Jun 6th.  Typical operation is 5:30-7:00pm for baseline rallying followed by 7:00-7:30pm for volley practice. We welcome volunteers to help set up the nets at the start and take them down at the end.

QETC is likely the only recreational tennis club that has a ball machine and we encourage players of all levels to take advantage of this facility. We suggest spending a half-hour session every Tuesday.  Novice players can develop muscle memory with practice. Intermediate players can set a target: backhand slices, angle volleys, offensive lobs, etc.  You will surprise yourself after a season of practice! Advanced players are also welcome to practice and demonstrate proper stroke techniques.
