Adult size silicone wristbands Rubber + super glue, which shall be available at the dollar store. This is gonna save me $150 for replacing the throwing wheels of the spinshot. Thanks Jacob!!!
I converted my Tennis Tutor Jr. to pickleball just by removing material. Cut out plastic to allow the ball to drop and on the mounting plate for the throwing wheels I made a slot to move the wheels apart as far as I could. To make the wheels smaller I removed a few mm of the rubber material on the wheels. Works great and was free but labor intensive.
@@huntly533 It was trial and error. I took off enough rubber so the grooves are almost gone, a few mm I guess. You can also buy the pickleball wheels from Tennis tutor. They had doubts the ball would drop but I made it work. I need to remove some aluminum from the tilting plate so I can hit lobs.
I talked to the Tennis Tudor people. They will sell you the pickleball wheels for $60.00 for the pair. But they said the motors are positioned in a different place. What do you think about Jacob and the 3D wheels?
@@huntly533 Repositioning the wheels just means moving them farther apart. You can do that by drilling a hole or making a slot like I did. the wheels need to compress the ball to launch it.
I'm looking to do the reverse... I own the pickleball tutor, and would like to modify it to where I can shoot tennis balls, and be able to revert it back to stock form as it is on the fly, whether we want to go out for tennis or pickleball for the day. I think it should be an easier route given that all the dimensions are a little bigger on the pickle tutor, and the gap between the two spinning wheels to shoot the balls out is just a pinch too large for the tennis ball and I'd just need to fill up a small gap. I am thinking I just need some slightly bigger wheels. If you can 3d print me the tennis tutor wheels I will gladly pay you! Or I can put some silicone wrist bands on the currents wheels... but not sure if that's easily reversible to go back for pickleballs as you seem to put some glue on there to keep them steady. If anyone has helpful ideas on how to achieve this I'd be forever grateful!

About how much did you have to remove? What's the wheel size now?

@@davidige276 can you email me what you did possible pictures ? I’m trying to convert my tennis tutor prolite to shoot pickle balls
great videos. Any chance you can tell exactly what bands you bought?
He is giving great info but never answers any questions and has not provided PDF will info on wheels. So frustrating!!
whats the power draw on this machine? would i be able to run it off 40v batteries?
can you share the 3d-file that I can change the size of the hole in the middle?
I have a tennis tutor but I don't have any mechanical skills. I live in Los Angeles. Anybody know anybody out here I could pay to do the conversion?

Let's trade machines. I have the tennis tutor machine and I want a pickleball machine. You and I could be a match made in heaven!
I have a tennis tudor. Want to swap?
You really need a hot chick in a bikini for click bait
Could you help find where I could order or have a set made please ??????? Please
Hi Jacob, can you post a link to the silicone bands you are using? Thank you.
Do you have your own shop to do this work? Can you convert my tennis ball machine?
Where can we buy these wheels?
Where did you get the red wheel from? Or post the 3D STL FILE.
What type of 3D printer are you using?
