Acemate AI Tennis Robot gains advanced drill modes to push NTRP 1.0 to 5.0 players to their max

Acemate has updated the Acemate AI Tennis Robot for 2026 with new drills and features to help push NTRP-rated players to train at their best during practices.

The Acemate was unveiled in 2025 as what is possibly the only consumer-grade tennis training robot that can not only launch balls across the court during training, but also catch them as they are returned. This eliminates the hassle of stopping training sessions to gather loose balls that traditional ball machines cannot collect on their own, while allowing users to focus on their on-court practice.

The version 2.0 app update brings new features to the Acemate robot, including an advanced drill system for NTRP 1.0- to 5.0-rated players. The update adds over forty training templates, each focused on a specific drill, such as improving spin control or backhand ball placement.

The robot can also refuse to catch returns that land outside the target zone, helping reinforce the need for shot accuracy, while returning well-placed ones in a dynamic manner that adds natural unpredictability like a human coach. Each shot is tracked and analyzed by AI for coaching tips that can help the player improve across all recorded sessions in English, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

The Acemate AI tennis robot is currently on sale for $2,199.
