PONGBOT Pace S Tennis Ball Machine Review: Worth $999.99?

Tennis ball machines used to mean either a bulky club-owned unit or a basic feeder, so I looked at PONGBOT's Pace S to see where the "smart portable" positioning actually lands.

What it does

The Pace S is PONGBOT's portable tennis ball machine, built to bring AI-assisted drilling to solo practice sessions rather than requiring a hitting partner or coach for every session.

Part of a bigger lineup

PONGBOT's flagship Pace S Pro is billed as the world's first true AI tennis ball machine, and the Pace S sits below it as the more portable, accessible option, alongside the brand's table tennis robots (Nova S Pro, Omni S Pro, Halo S Pro).

Is it worth $999.99?

Regular price is $1,699.99, and it's currently listed at $999.99 (save $700). For an AI-assisted, portable tennis ball machine at that discount, it's a meaningful entry point into automated practice compared to committing to the Pro-tier machine.

Save on your order: the Pace S is $700 off for a limited time. Shop the PONGBOT Pace S here.
