The S10 Pro builds on Acemate's rally technology with hardware for more demanding practice. Its shot controls and training modes give players several ways to structure time on court.
Real Rally Play
The robot tracks incoming shots, moves across the court, catches the ball, and returns it. That cycle makes movement and recovery part of the exercise, giving players a way to work on rally rhythm without arranging a partner for every session.
More Control with ACE+ SHOT™ Tech
ACE+ SHOT™ Tech supports feeds up to 120 km/h (75 mph), with controls for pace, spin, and placement. Its internal aiming system changes shot direction with less reliance on rotating the whole robot, supporting a wider variety of practice patterns.
Five Ways to Build a Session
Players can move from a warm-up to a specific exercise or a match-style challenge. Each mode serves a different purpose:
- Rally: Find a rhythm and work on consistent returns.
- Drill: Focus on target areas and shot placement.
- Serve: Connect serve practice to a follow-up shot.
- Battle: Respond to different playing styles in scored challenges.
- Ball Machine: Repeat a shot or pattern with adjustable feeds.
The Acemate app connects those exercises with session data and review tools, helping players decide what to work on next. Explore S10 Pro features and specifications.
Building on Acemate's IFA Debut
Acemate introduced the S10 to visitors at IFA 2025. Returning in 2026 with the S10 Pro gave the brand a chance to show how its rally technology can support a wider range of training exercises.
