@@jeffreybartlett4899 do you see a discount code area?
@@jeffreybartlett4899also, don’t use the code in the video as it’s changed. Used the code on this link: www.hydrogensports.com/shipping-code?aff=2
The code you see is the code you should use. Thanks!!!
Yes! I have a proton and would love to get more drill setup tips! Thank you for doing this.
Agree and hopefully in MPH
I bought a Proton early last year. It has helped my game quite a bit. As an assistant coach I have been able to identify strategies that need work for specific players on the team and create drills. I just name the drill the player’s name. It’s so nice to be able to stand next to the player and talk to them instead of feeding balls. I can pause and restart drills on the fly. I use my Apple Watch for my own hitting sessions which I highly recommend.
Thanks for your thoughts bb. I’m really impressed with the machine and I’m so proud to make videos about it. Another video coming soon!
Congrats on finally getting a Proton. I've had mine for over 2yrs. I'm impressed you can hit the ball at the fastest setting. Also congrats on providing a $25 shipping charge saving discount code.
Hey thanks Gary. Yeah I love it.
How many shots do you have on your proton after 2 years?
Just bought it! Used your Coupon Code. Thanks for the free shipping!
You will love it. Congrats Carlo. Seriously, it so much better than other machines in so many ways. Keep me posted and if you’d like me to help you improve, grab a lesson or analysis with me at 2minutetennis.net. You got this!
Ryan, love that drill! Look forward to more videos with the Proton, already hit over 51,988 shots with mine and love how I can program patterns of play and all the different spins as well as hitting mind numbing repetitions of forehands and backhands.
Hey Michael! Great to hear from you. Yeah just got mine and I live it already. So easy and helpful. Good luck and thanks for sharing your experience!
@@2MinuteTennis Couple of tips, I use Wilson Triniti balls, they last forever in the Proton, and got a Ryobi hand inflator, blows all the fuzz out after each session and uses the proton battery, just pops in.
@@michaelrogers128Hey, nice idea. Which inflator. And what areas of the machine are safe to blow the air into. Any sensitive areas to compressed air? Many thanks in advance.
I love the 2 minutes Tennis with the Proton and the lessons other lessons to improve ones game I wish I had Ryan as my tennis instructor as I a getting back into this great sport and I have learned a lot from this awesome series and I hope it continues.
@@FrankSaglimbeni wow thank you so much. Just so you know I give lessons to people virtually. Either live on Zoom or as a video analysis. Here’s where you can learn more: app.coachiq.io/2-minute-tennis/initial/programs
There is a setting in the app to change from K to MPH. Would be helpful to change that for future videos; hopefully there are more.
I’ve made 5 videos on the subject. Check my playlist
Making my own atm. Ball jams is the tricky part. How often do you get the hopper jamming up? What feature is in it to ensure no jams? Cheers big maxxy.
As a long time lurker, watching your great advice, and owner of a proton, this series is just what I needed. Thanks!
Hey thanks awesome! What are your thoughts about the proton?
I've had 2 shoulder surgeries, and come from a family who suffer back issues, so when looking for a ball machine, I needed something light, but wanted something customizable. Cost wasn't a factor. I love the Proton and use it to supplement things the coach and I work on.
@@2MinuteTennis
@@2MinuteTennis the carrying bag for the ball is nice. where did you buy it? link?
@trendspike don’t know. Doesn’t come with the machine. I just use my hopper.
how long have you owned proton? Is it durable and reliable? I bought lobster in sep this year. It does not have handler to move. I have to hug the heavy lobster to move it up to the car. Looking to buy proton.
I have this ball machine - it’s great! I was a little sad when I first got it since it couldn’t feed high balls which were my weakness. However with the lob riser update I am now able to practice with slightly higher feeds.
Yeah the lob riser takes care of that issue. I love this machine.
So can this machine provy decent lobs?
@@Vdkotsinyan yes. it has a “lob riser” that clips onto the bottom that props it up. The lob riser for ergonomically into the space where the balls spin. Super easy and takes 1 sec to add on. Provides great lobs. Already tried it.
@@2MinuteTennis Thanks, Ryan!
Can you demo the lob riser. I just started playing around with that setting and can't get it to lob short to the service line
You can use Ryobi battery that’s 5A and up
Owned it less than two years with light usage. sent it back once because the leg wouldn’t raise up anymore.. they fixed, a few months later same issue again they wanted $150 since out of 1 year warranty.. i decided not to waste the money on it anymore. Who knows when it breaks again.. i would go for more robust spinshot instead of this one.
@@cchcs appreciate your thoughts. I had the spin shot and slinger and I like this so much better. Everyone has a preference so I appreciate your thoughts.
@@2MinuteTennisyes.. i agree it is lightweight but yes, everyone has his/her own preference. I prefer durability for a $1700 machine with better customer service. Just sharing my experience to everyone for a reference. It is a big investment.❤
Can it launch them faster? I feel like practicing on this will mess up my timing playing against somebody with more speed.
it can shoot up to 70 mph every 2 seconds. that's actually a lot faster than rec tennis. We tend to think our opponents hit the ball a lot harder than they actually do. And remember, the drill was when our opponents hit a weak ball that pulls us into no-man's land, so i set the ball machine to reflect that. And again, your opponents don't average 70 mph on their ground strokes. for instance, Sinner averages 74 mph on his forehands. thanks for watching!
i have a proton and have been looking for drills, thank you so much for this!
Anyone looking to buy these here’s an honest review: it’s very expensive. However it is the nicest ball machine on the market, you seriously can’t beat it. Carrying a ball machine on your shoulder and it’s only 20 pounds is insane. But the fact that a machine that small can do 3000 rpm back or topspin is nuts. It’s fun to screw around and try 3000 backspin. Being totally honest only flaws with this are that if it breaks a bit, it takes a bit to fix. You have to go to their site and go through this weird sequence of debugging it, and just had to open up the ball machine to get fuzz out, took a long time. Some problems, but agains the nicest ball machine there is
How long does the battery last?
The battery lasts for 1,000 balls. And that’s way more than any normal person will hit in a practice session. And the battery quickly charges overnight. You can purchase a second battery on the website as well if needed. Tho most people only need one.
Thanks Colin. I just got mine and it’s far and away the best machine I’ve ever used/seen. I’ve had lobster, tennis twists, silent partner, slinger, spin shot, etc. nothing compare to this. I’m so excited to make drills that players can use to improve their games.
Yeahhhhh battery is decent too very nice machine overall
@@colinbyer3018 thanks Colin!
Hi Coach, quick question. Does it have the 'ball boy mode' like the Slinger ball machine?
Do you mean where it shoots it out really slowly to give you a ball when serving?
@@2MinuteTennis yes sir, exactly!
More drills with Proton pls
Have you seen this one? th-cam.com/video/T5bl5EsC9lQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cUUUKTGEx0pxL5SA Courts are covered in snow and ice and it’s 20 degrees F at the moment so no new Proton videos yet.
Great recommendations. Been using it for a while now, had similar approach patterns. Looks like you are not programming it correctly though. You should click the “move proton” toggle. Too much guess work for the way you programmed it.
I use sit correctly when actually using the ball machine. When editing the video I just quickly whipped up the app and was moving things around I took a pick with the ball machine centered by accident. Once the video went live I went going to change it. Thanks!
@@2MinuteTennis Makes sense. Hopefully you can share more proton drills/programs. One thing I really liked about Proton is you can just tap the target location to quickly program/adjust. I bought a slinger bag (also based on your recommendation) a couple of years ago, but it was so finicky that I had to play around with settings, that I sold it after using it only a few times.
@@luyin1961 yeah I quickly stopped using the slinger once I realized how limited it was in its usage. The slinger bag is a Toyota Corolla and the Proton is a Ferrari.
@@2MinuteTennis Ferrari is a good analogy; Proton doesn't seem as reliable as some other machines. I had to do a little maintenance/fixing now and then. Obviously for youtube you are recommending consumer products. I would be surprised if you are using it as a coach. Most local coaches I talked to prefer "professional" and heavy duty products like playmate or lobster.
Can you use a standard tennis balls like Babolat Team or you need some special balls?
Standard balls are great. I use the wilson Triniti club balls bc they last forever. This machine is awesome so if you do decide to grab it it would mean the world to me and my family if you used my coupon code for free shipping 2MINUTE_PROTON
What is the maximum speed it will launch the ball at ?
70 MPH.
Its ok machine,but i would like more balls..i had spinshot and its super but not like the app phone.i am thinking of buying spinfire 2 ,onky because for remote control??did you try spinfire and if so , what do youtl think?
I’ve had both slinger and spin shot. The proton is in a category all its own. 100 balls is perfect.
@@2MinuteTennis I had spinshot plus 2 and 110 balls its not enough to me,even though its nice machine .I would like titan or spinfire cos can be filled up to 150. The only things with the proton like is lightness and easy way to carry. But I would like to have remote control to change speed or spin by control ,not by phone .in any case thanks for you response!
@@ketokonazol ok thanks so much!
It looks a great ball machine but they only ship within the 48 contiguous United States (whatever that means) and it costs $1700 (which is a lot in any currency).
They are currently shipping to the continental (contiguous) US meaning not to Alaska or Hawaii. You can buy cheaper ball machines, but in my experience players stop using them bc of cumbersome weight, difficulty using them, etc. This is a ball machine that will be used… which will actually help you improve your game.
Sounds great but where can one buy it in Europe?
It’s currently only available is the US.
I love it but it's officially not available in Germany
You are correct. Hopefully someday it’ll be world wide shipping.
I want one too.. but too expensive
Looks fantastic. Too pricey for me though.
You’re def getting what you pay for with this machine. If it was the same price as a slinger($799), which one would you choose?
I think I'd chose this one though I'd want to try it first if possible. I've tried a friend's Slinger and it only produces lots of topspin, it's too big to carry, and the battery is not disconnectable. @@2MinuteTennis
Discount code not working..
Hmmm sorry about that. What exact code did you try using?
I just tried it and it’s working on the website perfectly.
The code is 2MINUTE_PROTON
First you say the balls weigh as much as the machine. Then at 0:40 “It holds a ton of balls.”
So you’re carrying a ton of balls and a ton of machine. What a stud! 😅
Has very funny Jeff. Thanks so much!!
Ball machines are better than nothing and is fun to use once in awhil but it’s nothing like playing against a human . Volley is so easy on ball machine but when u play against human , the volley goes straight into net
Thanks for commenting Max
damn i want that machine
It really is great
@@2MinuteTennisthey told me they’d ship to Japan for $199
Anyone that has it….do you recommend purchasing the warranty
I purchased the additional 1yr warranty. It is a mixed bag to choose weather to get an additional year. You can not continue to get another 1yr warranty annually. It is one additional year and future parts and services are paid by you.
Sorry poor grammar. Replace weather with whether.
It’s good. The software is amazing. Connection is great. The only thing is you can’t make LOB ball. They do have an accessory but it did not help. It’s light east to carry east to put in a car
Nice
Thanks for watching!!!
I have a spinshot that cannot be programmed. Sometimes I wish for programmability.
How come this machine is so light? My spinshot is heavy
@@feiwang4691, the Proton shell is hard plastic rather than metal. So don't stand on it but you can use it as a leg rest in the office prior to your evening tennis social or practice.
