It's still a prototype, hopefully it's going to be merchandised some day. If you look for purchasable products look for "Pro Trainer Soccer Ball Machine" or "Sidekick". Anyhow, those machines have other claims concerning accuracy, power etc.

All it needs now is;

- shoulder mount

- laser sight

- ball magazine

[pangetz987]

its better to practice with real people

[RuniJensen]

@pangetz987 yes, but if that had a magazine, it would be really helpful if you wanted to train alone.

looks huge for something of this purpose.

Thanks for the mention. Bending the ball with a machine serve is a factor of power and motors to independently grab the ball and shoot it out. Looks like yours does a good job of that.

Our machine is aimed at giving effective repetitions for essential skill development and for portability. We encourage our users to take it anywhere they train, indoors, out doors, you name it.

Good luck with your machine. It looks like a good idea.

that's pretty sweet! it's kinda loud though, but still very nice.

and a wall

[dzolotaeko]

that would be probably the best thing for goal keepers..since it can do powerful shots and accurate ones
