Why ERNE?
ERNE was developed and brought to market by three diehard pickleballers, who simply wanted more from their pickleball throwing machines.
They wanted a larger hopper, so they could spend more time hitting instead of picking balls up. They wanted better precision and control. They wanted more of a game-like feel and less predictability. They wanted a longer battery life, better portability, sturdier materials, etc
So, what did they do?
The ERNE Team developed a pickleball training machine that:
- Has the largest hopper on the market (150 balls)
- Better motors that deliver an astonishing range of speeds from 10mph-65mph to work on dinking and handling drives
- Smartphone App that allows you to control the speed, frequency, location and even spin.
- 24 pre-programmed drills
- Ability to easily create and save your own shot/drill sequences
- Stealthy oscillator so you can’t easily predict where the ball is going
- 4-8 hour battery life on single charge
- Ease of storage and portability with a long retractable suitcase style handle and removable hopper.
All made from super durable and quality materials.
New ERNE Pro Mode that allows players to individually customize each shot with speed and location
ERNE is a technology-driven pickleball throwing and training machine; that truly is a drilling partner. Whether you are a pro or a novice, this machine will get you playing your best pickleball.
Custom Drills
The ERNE runs a variety of preprogrammed drills, including:
- Fixed: used for single shot drills with 3 predefined shot locations
- Cross: used for double shot drills with 6 predefined shot locations
- Horizontal: sweep mode with 5 predefined sets of shot sequences
- Vertical: used to practice moving from the baseline to the kitchen
- Volley: dink practice and drop shot returns
- Smash: used to practice overhead shots & returning lobs
- Random: used to move player around the court with 28 shot locations
- Program: players create their own sequence. Pick from the 28 spots on the court
- Pro Mode: similar to Program mode, pick your sequence of shots in any of the 28 locations not he court but now you can individually customize each shot with speed, height and location.

How many Pickleballs does ERNE hold ?
ERNE can easily hold 150 Pickleballs but you can realistically fit 175 balls if you don't mind 1 or 2 potentially falling out of the hopper as the agitator rotates to feed balls to the throwing wheels. You can see ERNE's specifications here.
Can ERNE use both indoor and outdoor balls?
Yes, ERNE can use any standard Pickleballs.
How many people can use ERNE at the same time?
At least two (2) simultaneously, depending on the drill being used and what is being worked on. ERNE only allows a single smartphone to be connected at a time so one person will need to be responsible for selecting drills and changing pa
What is the slowest and fastest ERNE can throw the balls ?
ERNE can throw balls as slow as 10mph and as fast as 65mph. You can see ERNE's specifications here.
What is the slowest and fastest ERNE can feed balls ?
ERNE can feed balls as slow as 1 every 10 seconds and as fast as 1 ball a second. You can see ERNE's specifications here.
How long does a battery charge last?
The battery can last, depending on machine usage, up to 6 hours. We haven’t seen it last less than 3 hours driving it hard.
How long does it take to recharge ERNE?
Recharging the battery to 90% will take about 4 hours. For 100% recharge, it will take about 6 hours.
What comes with ERNE?
You get the ERNE Pickleball Training Machine, a 24v battery installed, a battery charger, a carousel agitator (to be installed). You'll also find unpacking instructions, do's and don'ts, warranty registration card, an ERNE sticker and a QR code link to both the Apple and Android smartphone apps. Find out more here
What is stealthy operation?
Stealthy operation means that it isn’t obvious what direction a ball will be thrown. Our machine moves an internal yoke to change direction or height of the throw. The yoke is difficult to see making the direction and height of the next throw “stealthy”.
