KEY DIFFERENCES


PT SMART vs PT SMART PRO
Key Differences
1) Training realism & performance
-
Smart Pro: Adds more advanced swing patterns, higher
top speeds (reports up to ~140 km/h), and flat/extra spin
options, making it better for advanced training.
-
Smart: Provides essential modes (topspin/backspin,
oscillation, lobs, etc.) at speeds up to 120 km/h, suitable for
beginners to intermediate players.
What this means:
-
Pro can simulate more realistic match-style shots and
complexity.
-
Regular Smart focuses on core drills and fundamentals.
2) Oscillation style (realism of movement)
-
Smart Pro: Uses internal moving parts to vary shots
unpredictably—more like a real opponent.
-
Smart: Moves the entire machine when oscillating, so
shot direction is easier to predict.
Takeaway:
-
Internal oscillation = more advanced movement training.
3) Control & drills
Both models share:
-
Smartphone app + remote control
-
Programmable landing points (around 20 points)
-
Multiple drill modes (fixed point, oscillations, lobs, spins, etc.)
But:
-
Smart Pro: Often offers even more shot patterns and
drill flexibility, including enhanced spin and flat shots.
4) Speed, power & intensity
-
Smart Pro: Designed to handle faster balls and “pro-
level” training intensity.
-
Smart: Max speed ~120 km/h (or ~75 mph in US spec
pages).
5) Portability & design
-
Smart: ~15 kg and compact.
-
Smart Pro: Similar portability (~16 kg) but usually a
slightly more premium design.
Both have external battery packs, trolley handles, and easy
setup.
6) Typical positioning & skill levels
-
Smart Pro: Designed for advanced players, coaches, and
those wanting match-like simulation.
-
Smart: Ideal for beginners/intermediates building
consistency and technique.
Bottom line:
-
Choose PT SMART if you’re new to tennis, want solid
drills, and don’t need ultra-realistic ball variation yet.
-
Choose PT SMART PRO if you want more advanced
training realism, faster speeds, enhanced spin/shot variety,
and drills closer to playing a real opponent.
PP SMART vs PP SMART PRO
Key Differences
1. Throw Distance (Depth of Shot)
-
The PP Smart Pro can launch balls up to approximately 26 meters, while the standard PP Smart reaches approximately 20 meters.
That means the Pro delivers about 6 meters of additional depth, allowing players to train with:
-
Deeper baseline shots
-
More realistic rally length
-
Stronger conditioning and footwork demands
If you want to practice against shots that feel closer to real match play, the Pro clearly goes further.
2. Deeper, More Demanding Training
Because of the extra distance, the PP Smart Pro allows for:
-
More aggressive groundstroke training
-
Better simulation of competitive-level shots
-
Higher physical intensity during drills
This makes the Pro better suited for:
-
Intermediate to advanced players
-
Competitive juniors
-
Coaches running structured sessions
-
Players who want realistic match pressure during solo training
-
3. Oscillation Mechanism (How the Machine Changes Direction)
There is a major mechanical difference between the two models:
-
PP Smart: Changes direction by physically moving the whole machine
-
PP Smart Pro: Uses internal motorized oscillation to adjust ball direction
This internal system allows the Pro to control placement more precisely and more smoothly, without relying on the body movement of the machine.
4. Training Variety & Realism
Thanks to its internal oscillation system, the PP Smart Pro produces ball placement that is:
-
Less predictable
-
More natural
-
More similar to a real opponent
Instead of feeling like a machine repeating patterns, the Pro creates drills that feel more like:
-
Match situations
-
Live rally movement
-
Reactive footwork training
This is especially valuable for players who want to improve anticipation, positioning, and real-game consistency.
