  • Page 3: First Use Of Machine

    1. First use of machine When using the Powershot 3 for the first time, there are some parts to think of. Some parts need to be installed in the machine and you should think about some things before using the machine: First, you will find some fuses with the machine, one of these need to be installed in the •...

  • Page 5: Speed, Frequency, Topspin And Slice Balls

    2. Speed, Frequency, Topspin and Slice balls All exercises, in the machine, can be adjusted by speed. Just like a tennis player, topspin or backspin (slice) can also be given to the ball. With more topspin to the ball, the balls will bounce shorter behind the net, with more slice the balls will get deeper and with more speed the balls will also get deeper.
  • Page 6: The Functions Of The Machine

    3. The functions of the machine The machine has many different functions that allow the balls to be shot in different ways: With different speed • With different frequency • With different effect (topspin or slice) • At different locations: •...
  • Page 7: Fixed Point

    1. Fixed point The ball can be set at a fixed horizontal and vertical position on the court. This position can be set horizontally via the "<" and ">" buttons on the remote control between position 10 (left for the player) and 70 (right for the player).
  • Page 8: Horizontal And Vertical Movement

    2. Horizontal and vertical movement The Powershot 3 has several ways to vary horizontally: Random between the 2 “tram rails” • 2 line function (on 2 fixed positions left and right) • 3 line function (on 3 fixed positions left, middle and right) •...
  • Page 9 Vertical variation, press the "vertical" button each time: Random (about 4 degrees in height difference), the ball is randomly shot between the short • and long position (remote control shows several points above each other) 2-line (about 4 degrees in height difference), the ball is shot short and long (remote control •...
  • Page 10: Random Balls

    3. Random balls The machine can shoot the balls at 28 random positions in the field, 7 (horizontal) x 4 (vertical) positions. As soon as the "Random" button is pressed, the machine will move between these 28 positions. The machine has a unique random function, not just left/right and up/down movement but real random! The speed of the frequency, for the moment of shooting the ball, is of great importance here.
  • Page 11: Cross Balls

    4. Cross balls The machine can play two balls in a cross (diagonally) in two different places. There are 6 different combinations, the number of times the "Cross" button stands for each combination: 1. Right short, Left deep *) 2. Left short, Middle deep 3.
  • Page 12: Programming

    4. Programming With the Powershot 3 you can create your own program. One program could be made after the remote control is turned on, and it couldn’t be saved. As long as the remote control is on, the program is still there, even when you moved in between to other trainings. There are 28 positions on the court (7 horizontal and 4 vertical).
