Howdy,

I saw the topic on the hit-a-way training aide and wanted to know if folks had played with this gadget.  I recall it got good reviews in Tennis Magazine (when discussing ball machines which this would definitely suck in comparison to

But for $60, it could be a nice tool for working on that funky swing (and remembering to finish hands to the ears)  

Anyone own one that would like to comment on it?  

Also, a while back I asked about another training tool called the Volley Doctor but no one reported owning one?  If you've got one, let us know if it works or is a piece of junk as I fear it to be.

Have a great day

Save your money. You'll lose interest in it after a few times. And do you know how funny you'll look playing with that thing in public?

Hitting with people is lots more fun.

Yeah, well, that is proving problematic.  Also one of the things I don't like about tennis.  I'm a pretty good hoops player, but I can shoot hundreds of shots while I'm getting the rust out.  Much harder to get the rust out in tennis.  I can hit with players, but most people I've found want to start playing games after 5 minutes of hitting around when I'd like to concentrate on my backhand.

I've ordered this for my daughter who needs a slower motion to work on her swing.
