+Added: a vacuum operated ball machine.
+Added: In the 1990’s the first battery operated machines came to the market and since that time very little,
+Added: if anything, has changed in the structure of ball machines products outside of added computerization.
+Added: Typically, the machines being marketed

+Added: They are also generally expensive – often well
+Added: $1,000 compared to the entry price of $700 for a Slinger Bag Launcher.
+Added: We believe that up until the introduction of the Slinger
+Added: Bag Launcher, the majority of traditional tennis ball machines were sold to tennis facilities, institutions and tennis teachers, with
+Added: only a few being sold directly to tennis playing consumers.
