Have any of you used/seen volleyball machines before? Which is best?

Question

Which modle and brand is best? 1. Air Cat 2. Sport Tutor Silver 3. Sport Tutor Gold 4. Attack I (Senoh) 5. Attack II (Senoh) 6. Skill Attack (Senoh)

Anyone who knows about these please feel free to tell me whatever you know about using them (good or bad), because I want one, but have never used one either.

Answer 1

My advice would be not to buy one. During my season this year, I had this excellent setter, but he missed I believe two games, so we had our back up setter set. My point is that the set is not always going to be in the right spot. So you should learn how to adjust to the conditions. At least have a friend toss the ball for you.

Answer 2

I had one of them for a year and it really did not seem worth the effort.  It was easier for me or another coach to just put the balls where they needed to be.  We sold the machine and have not been sad about getting rid of it at all.  

You should see if you could borrow one for a couple of practices before you just go and buy one.  You may find that it is not worth it either.
