Acemate Open Training Days in New York with Acemate S10 Pro

The goal was simple: let players experience Acemate for themselves. Instead of watching a product video or reading about a tennis robot online, they could hit real balls, move through a guided training session, take on Battle Mode, and feel how Acemate changes solo practice.

More than 200 people registered for the event, showing strong interest from New York’s tennis community during US Open week. Across the two days, players, Dylan, and seven other creators joined the court experience, giving everyone more chances to hit, ask questions, and share first reactions.

A Full Tennis Practice Session Experience, Powered by Acemate

The onsite experience was designed to feel like a complete tennis practice session, not a quick product demo.

Players started with Rally Mode. For first-time users, Rally Mode was the simplest way to understand the product before moving into more structured training.

From there, the session moved into Drills. Staff adjusted the settings based on each player’s level and what they wanted to practice, whether that meant finding rhythm, working on placement, or adding more movement.

Serve Mode added a serve-plus-one moment to the session. The Acemate S10 Pro sends a ball to the player, the player catches it and serves, then the robot attempts a return so the player can hit one follow-up shot.

Then came Battle Mode. Instead of repeating the same feed, players faced different playing styles and had to react. One participant specifically called out “The Attacker” style, which pushed players with high speed and wide angles. It turned the session into something more competitive and more memorable.

By the end of the session, players had moved from Rally Mode warm-up into Drills, Serve Mode, Battle Mode, and familiar repeatable feeds through Ball Machine Mode. The flow helped them understand the Acemate S10 Pro more than a tennis machine. It felt like a training partner for a full on-court session.

A Court Built for Fun

One of the best parts of the event was how naturally people started interacting on court.

Players watched each other hit, compared scores, reacted to different modes, and talked between turns. The Drills accuracy game made this especially easy. The rules were clear, the challenge was simple, and every player had a reason to try one more ball.

Everyone was there for the same reason: to hit, try something new, and have fun with Acemate.

That gave the court a relaxed rhythm. Some people came in curious. Some got competitive. Some stayed to watch others take their turns. The Acemate S10 Pro became the center of the activity, but the best moments came from the people around it: the reactions, the laughs, the small adjustments, and the “let me try again” moments after a close miss.

Real Player Reactions

Why the Experience Felt Different

Many players arrived with a familiar idea of what a tennis ball machine does. It feeds balls, helps with repetition, and gives players more chances to hit.

The Acemate S10 Pro gave them something more dynamic. It helped players warm up, practice placement, work through serve patterns, repeat specific feeds, and take on Battle Mode in one session.

For casual players, the value was more hitting time and an easier way to practice alone. For stronger players, it was the chance to repeat patterns and move with more purpose. For coaches, the Acemate S10 Pro could serve as a teaching aid, helping them run consistent feeds, structured drills, and clearer on-court demonstrations.

That is why the event worked best when people were actually on court. Once they started hitting, the difference became much easier to understand.
