- Voice and App Controls: Players can change drill types, shot patterns, and difficulty during a session using voice commands or a companion app, minimizing interruptions while providing access to performance data and session controls.
- Lightweight, High-Output Hardware: At under 20 pounds, Tenniix is designed for portability while delivering a wide range of shot speeds and spin from a compact chassis, with a ball capacity suited for extended practice sessions.
