Hi, thought i’d share my recent experience. I too can’t justify buying a robot right now. Out of desparation of needing to practice i made a return board. I wouldnt pay for commercial models. Dont think they are worth the money. I made one for $20 Australian. I hit topspin and it returns backspin. Its not good for trying rallies like with a partner. But i can hit the board and can practice hitting half long balls and short balls. I can do footwork practice by varying the angle thus going from forward corner to middle and backhand and vice versa. Just one hit at a time, not continuous. Hanging out for a robot but am really happy with my $20 investment for now.
Answer for Returnboards, is it ok train with them?
