Ball machine

[eaglesburg]

What are some good patterns to practice on my spinfire pro 2 ball machine? Or are these a bad idea in your opinion? Here is what I have so far. I could repeat each say 7 times and record the number of times I complete successfully. Once I get to 6/7 or 7/7 I could make the balls more difficult or add to the pattern. I am trying to make these into patterns that I would hit in a match.
1) set ball machine on backhand side. Hit 1 bh cc, 1 inside out fh, 1 inside in fh
2) set machine on fh or bh side. 10 balls cc.
3) set machine on fh or bh side. 3 balls cc, 1 ball dtl
4) set machine on either side. 3 balls cc, 1 drop shot.
5) set machine on bh side. 1 bh cc, 1 slice bh cc, 1 inside in fh.

I could adjust the speed and spin every time I go so I could practice different balls.

Thanks!

One of these days I think I will construct a proper working ball machine - what is on the market is the worst garbage known to mankind ... I loved the homemade on that Ed Weiss or Don Broussou (is that his name - cannot remember) was using I believe that had two outlets on each side of the court - it was the best one I have ever seen - wonder what the hell happened to that one ...

My ultimate goal would be to get the Ace Attack but very expensive. Instead I bought the Spinshot Plus 2 High Speed and I'm very happy with it. Made from metal, so it's durable, very programmable and does a high speed in the low 80 mph. Can also buy a stand to work on return of serve. Worth investigating.
