Customer Reviews
The Pickleball Tutor Mini arrived when estimated and although I’ve only used it once it seems to work as advertised. When I called with questions about shipping they were helpful. My only issue is that I paid extra charge to have it sent by UPS but it arrived with Purolator Courier. Thus I paid more for shipping than I should have.
Ordered the mini for my pickleball addicted wife as a starter machine to see if it could keep up to her. Of course I placed the order just as Canada Post decided to hold the country ransom. Leila from pickleballsuperstore in Toronto made the process of switching shipping from Canada Post to Purolator in the middle of shipping effortless. Her apologies for things beyond her control were appreciated but unnecessary.
The quality of the Mini build is excellent, and minimalistic with nothing extra that does not contribute to the operation. The layout and function of all the controls is easy to understand, even without reading the manual. The only thing I wish for is the option to connect an auxiliary battery to the mini to extend the run time.
I had received my mini two weeks ago and I love it! The speed is more than adequate, level seven of 10 seems to be ideal for speed. The delivery times are easily adjustable as is the elevation. You could easily manufacture a makeshift hopper to feed more balls if you need to but as it is 50 balls is perfect. I haven’t ran out of battery time yet and have taken it out for more than two hours at a time on a few occasions. I have oscillation as well, which I like. It meets all of my needs without a doubt.
As it hold not much balls, I cutted off the bottom of a "premium nursery pot", I think a 15 gallons and it fit perfectly ! Hold easily 120 balls ! Pic with balls have 130 balls :-)
Comme il ne retient peu de balles, j'ai coupé le fond d'un pot de fleurs, je crois c'est un 15 gallons et ça fait parfaitement ! Peut contenir 120 balles facilement ! Photo avec les balles, il y en a 130 balles :-)
Great machine for practice. Love its lightweight and small size.
Adjusting the vertical angle is tricky and error prone.
A visible marker/arrow to be able to give an indication would be an improvement,
