SHOTMAKER MINI
The SHOTMAKER MINI is a professional ball machine in a portable package. It features Internal Oscillation, which means that only the ball-throwing mechanism inside the machine moves to change the side-to-side position of the ball throws, instead of pivoting the entire machine. Internal Oscillation disguises where the ball will be thrown, and is also much quicker throwing balls from spot to spot.

- Shoots balls to any one, two, or all three positions shown on the control panel, or oscillates randomly.
SHOTMAKER MINI Deluxe
- Quick Set-up – Just push the ‘Quick Set-up’ button, and then either the Beginner, Intermediate or Advanced button, to throw a repeating shot for the chosen skill level.
- Patented Player Mode™ simulates a real player – Automatically picks an appropriate speed and spin, then changes both the side-to-side position and depth of shots, which are computer programmed to simulate the shot patterns of real players at the Beginner – Intermediate – Advanced levels.
- Shot Program Memory – Can be programmed to shoot balls in a pattern of up to six shots, with each shot directed to any of seven different court positions, or to a random position. Up to eight shot sequences can be stored, and then recalled any time with the touch of a button.
- Optional 2-button or Multi-Function remote controls.
Multi-Function Remote Controls
Provide wireless control of all functions just like you were using the actual control panel. The layout of the buttons on the remotes is almost identical to the layout of the buttons on the control panel, so there is nothing new to learn. There are two Multi-Function Remote choices.
• FM Multi-Function Remote – Small handheld unit. ($300)
• Phone Multi-Function Remote – Requires free App download. Available for both Apple and Android phones. Automatically connects instantly via bluetooth with no need for a wireless broadband connection. If this option is purchased a bluetooth receiver is installed in the machine. ($300)
External Battery Option
This option removes the battery from inside the Shotmaker Mini, which is instead powered by an external battery pack (weight 14 lbs,) with its own built-in charger. This reduces the weight of the Shotmaker Mini from 62 lbs. to only 48 lbs. for easier lifting. Also, the battery pack is all you need to transport to and from the charging outlet, allowing the machine to be left in your car or parking garage. ($50)
