A tennis ball machine that thinks. Tennibot just started shipping the Partner V2 — a 35-pound AI-powered robot that designs drills on its own, fires balls with adjustable spin and placement, and takes commands from your Apple Watch.
What It Actually Does
The Partner V2 is a compact ball-launching robot (17.7 × 21.75 × 19.2 inches) with a built-in AI Custom Drills engine. Tell it what skill you want to work on — forehand consistency, backhand slice, transition volleys — and it auto-configures shot sequences, pace, spin, and placement. 37% more vertical range than V1, so it covers everything from defensive lobs to heavy topspin. Holds 140 balls. Pair it with the Tennibot Rover (autonomous ball collector robot) and you get a fully unmanned training loop — machine fires, you hit, Rover picks up, repeat.
Apple Watch Control and App Integration
First tennis ball machine with Apple Watch support via WatchKit. Start/pause drills, adjust speed and spin, all from your wrist. The Tennibot app handles custom drill programming and exports session data — shot counts, drill completion, performance trends. This makes it one of the few consumer sports robots where training data flows out through a structured app layer, opening the door for third-party coaching integrations.
Introductory price $2,245 (regular $3,500). Bundle with Rover: $3,995. Made in the U.S. Shipping now.
