Tennis Enthusiasts

My wife and I love tennis.

One day, during our warm-up drills, my wife was focusing on her serve, and I decided to practice my returns. I wanted to give my wife a target to aim her serves, so I placed a 9" plastic spot in the corner of the service court as a target. Thinking myself a genius, I thought, "Perfect…my wife can focus on her serve…she knows where to aim…I can focus on my returns." Seems simple, but it turned complex quickly.

After the first serve, right as I am about to hit my return—literally at the moment of me returning the ball—my wife asks, "DID I HIT IT?" I had no idea. I didn`t want to tell her I was thinking about me - not her.

How could I tell my wife that her serve hit the mark, while I was concentrating on watching the ball? I started thinking—how can we both practice this drill? Perhaps if the plastic spot made noise when she hit it, I could practice my return?

Nothing that made noise was on the market. I thought I could easily make something that would work.

After several failed attempts at a "whoopee cushion" type of noise, I finally changed to a design that had bumps on the surface which would make the ball bounce erratically. The acebuilder Service Target is unique because:

• It helps tennis players perfect their serve by aiming at a target,
• It provides instant feedback which is crucial for fast improvement,
• It is the largest target on the market (18"x18"), yet
• It folds in half and fits inside a tennis bag

Try out the acebuilder Service Target—just like my wife, I am certain you will experience a tremendous increase in the accuracy of your serve.
