<p>I got a Sweet Spotter through the IndieGoGo campaign. I've been out with it a few times, just dropping balls and hitting serves. Today I used it on my ball machine, hitting about 150 balls with it. This was after a very good hitting session with my racquet -- great ball striking and solid control of my shots.</p>
<p>With the Sweet Spotter, I had my share of complete mis-hits and dumps into the net on solid hits. I progressed to hitting more than half my "shots" over the net. Overall, I…</p>

<p>With the Sweet Spotter, I had my share of complete mis-hits and dumps into the net on solid hits. I progressed to hitting more than half my "shots" over the net. Overall, I had to stay *really* focused on keeping my eye on the ball right through contact.</p>
<p>When I went back to my racquet, it was an effin' disaster. I dumped literally every ball. I really took me a while to get back to my normal swing. Clearly, for me, the technique that results in a good shot with the Sweet Spotter is radically different than that using my racquet, but is subtle enough to not telegraph a change in strokes. I really found it to be extremely counter productive for my ground strokes. I would rather practice with my woodies or smaller/heavier racquets like my Fischer Pro Vacuum 90, PK Black Ace, Rossignol F-250, etc. I think this tried and true method is a far more relevant way to "over-train".</p> Yeah I can agree with you tha…tag:tennisopolis.com,2013-03-09:1869403:Comment:10177162013-03-09T14:41:37.875ZCoachV - William Vazquezhttp://tennisopolis.com/profile/CoachV
<p>Yeah I can agree with you that the Steam 99s is a gimmicky racquet but it does work they way it says it does. The sweetspotter however can be replaced with a regular bat. where as the 99s cannot be replaced with a regular racquet. ( unless you do a crazy string job ) or you can play with an old woody racquet that weights around 13+oz and that can replace the sweetspotter, you can get a better practice with the woody too! If you Add a PTWINSock.com to the Woody you Will have a Great Training…</p>

OK I was wrong. The sweet spotter is not a bat. Nor is it the racquet bat. A regular bat would be better.

<p><span>The sweet spotter is 28.5 inches and they are all talking about something they don't know and have not tested. The Sweet Spotter is Not a baseball bat, it has 2 years of research and development behind it. I am sure anyone can go and get a regular baseball bat and practice with it but the weight, the balance, and the shape will never be true to the tennis swing. The Sweet Spotter does not have the shape of a bat, it looks like it from very far but follows the exact size of the racket head sweet spot from the bottom of the racket to the top.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span><span>2 years of research and 1 year of testing with 22 prototypes at hand, I can attest the typical baseball bat does not come close to the Sweet Spotter in shape, feel, or soundness.</span></span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span><span>Coach I hope you will be genuine enough to admit you were wrong in the accusations you made originaly</span></span></p>

<p>here they clearly show how to hit a backhand. by using a baseball bat. not a sweet spotter. so why pay $60 plus dollars for a Sweet Spotter when you can buy an baseball bat for $3. using a baseball bat or a lefty golf club will both do the trick.</p>
