DESCRIPTION

Pace S Pro is a Consumer-Robot from PongBot. It is built for Analysis, Entertainment, Education. Key figures: 22 kg, 480 min runtime, price $1,999.99.

The Pace S Pro is PongBot's flagship tennis ball machine, which the company bills as the world's first true AI tennis ball machine. What separates it from a conventional feeder is that it watches the player: a 100 Hz movement-tracking system, sampling more than three times faster than a standard camera, locates the player to within 10 cm using two P Station S base units and a wearable P Tag S. That tracking drives an Intelligent Recovery Trigger - the machine senses when the player has returned to position and launches the next ball in time with their own rhythm, so it works as a patient partner for footwork drills or a demanding one at match intensity. A Match Challenge mode draws on over 10,000 real match data points to vary spin, speed and landing point like a genuine rally, and adjusts to the player's NTRP level from 1.0 to 7.0. It delivers balls at 15-80 mph (25-130 km/h) with up to 60 rps of top, under or no spin, switching spin in 1.5 seconds, across six placement positions with full-court coverage. The 150-ball hopper and 7,800 mAh battery support up to eight hours of play, controlled from the app or the bundled remote over Bluetooth, with 564+ preset drills, custom drill building, community drill sharing and over-the-air updates. PongBot has also optimised it for padel, and it works on clay, hard, natural grass and artificial grass courts.
