Great question – durability is critical given it is repeatedly being hit! Its appearance suggests it might not be as robust as other training aids on the market, but it is deceptively strong – not one TopspinPro has been returned because it was broken by someone hitting it.

Having said that, it’s not designed for a full-blooded flat forehand drive but rather for teaching the correct bio-mechanics for topspin groundstrokes. If you hit it correctly, it will barely move (Phil, who invented the product, hits it as hard as he can – it won’t move). But if you swing horizontally, you’ll knock it over. However, that is in fact the point of the unit! The only way to get the ball to spin WITHOUT hitting the screens is the correct way of hitting groundstrokes. It intentionally requires some concentration to do that – if one wants something just to whack, then the EyeCoach is better. But as you might realise, that training aid won’t teach you topspin…

Even if it is hit incorrectly and knocked over, it will never break. One just has to pick it up again. If you ever had any issues, don’t hesitate to Contact us!
