Acemate Tennis Robot

Looking for a smarter way to train solo? Meet Acemate, the AI-powered tennis training robot that takes practice beyond static feeds. In its standard mode, it serves 130 balls - topspin, slice, flat, or backspin, at intervals you choose. But when switched to Rally mode via the app, Acemate uses omnidirectional wheels and stereoscopic 4K vision to chase down shots, returning balls at speeds up to 11 mph. This delivers a real, match-like workout that keeps you moving and sharpens timing.

Whether you are dialing in footwork, rallying at the net, or replicating pro-level drills, Acemate adapts to your pace and style. Customizable settings let you control speed, shot type, and court positioning. After your session, the app provides shot videos and performance metrics to highlight your progress and guide your next steps, like bringing a coach to your practice session.

Acemate isn't just another ball machine, it's a dynamic training partner. It bridges the gap between solo drills and real-game action, helping you prepare for match intensity without waiting on court time. Lightweight, smart, and responsive, this bot will revolutionize how you train.

Currently in Kickstarter, early backers get Acemate for $1,749 (expected $2,779), with shipping slated soon. If you are serious about stepping up your game, Acemate is the future of tennis training, when you are ready to rally, it's ready too. Watch the impressive video below.
