The Cannon

The Squash Cannon Professional features a 60-ball capacity, exclusive anti-jam, ball-feeding mechanism, thermostatically controlled temperature, an optional laser targeting system and an optional remote control which allows control of all functions of the Cannon.

The Squash Cannon is a professional ball machine with world-renowned durability. By using a molded high-density PVC body, our machine is truly built for life. The electric motors are all commercial grade and are maintenance free. The Cannon comes with a one year parts and labor warranty, with extended warranties available.
We didn’t stop there. It’s the meticulous attention to detail that really puts the Squash Cannon in a league by itself. Features like three large, non-marking castor wheels, a built-in handle for easy rolling, on and off the court, a handy removable AC power cord and an optional cover to protect your investment. Just load the balls and you’re ready for action.

The Squash Cannon Pro is now computer controlled allowing a number of different timing patterns for more challenging and game realistic setup;

MANUAL MODE: Use the Cannon as always with manual control of ball temperature, speed, trajectory, and feed rate all with the simple turn of a knob. Ball speed is electronically variable from a gentle toss that is ideal for kids just beginning squash, to hard-hitting drives that will challenge even top players. That means you can easily duplicate the shots you need to practice; blistering drives, powerful volleys and towering serves. The wide speed range makes the Cannon a superior choice for coaches with players at different ability levels. The versatile ball feed rate is electronically variable from one ball every 0.75 seconds (for quick reaction volleys), to one ball every 15 seconds. It is excellent for teaching footwork and timing to beginners and for high performance training for intermediate and advanced players.

Letting the Computer take over allows you the choice of four different drill patterns;

RANDOM DRILL: Give the Cannon control to randomly shoot balls and Teach players to watch the ball and improve their reaction time. The maximum and minimum intervals are selected by the user and the Cannon will randomly select an interval between this maximum and minimum.

DECAY TRAINING allows the user to select the number of balls in each group, the initial or maximum interval and the final or minimum interval. The Cannon will then shoot the selected number of balls at the maximum interval. The interval is then reduced by 0.5 seconds. The selected number of balls is again fired at the reduced interval. This continues until the minimum interval has been reached. Once the selected number of balls has been fired at the minimum interval there is a 5 second rest period and then the workout cycles back to the maximum interval and starts over. This is a great setup for putting footwork under pressure. Lets see what starts to break down after the ball reach the minimum interval!

INTERVAL DRILL will allow the user to select the number of balls the machine will shoot before pausing for a rest period. Perfect for training for fitness. Why not have your student sprint around and pick up balls during the rest period. NO MERCY!!

LOB/DROP DRILL: The user is able to select two different elevations and two corresponding speeds. The Cannon will automatically change between speed 1/interval 1 to speed 2/interval 2. This is a game like situation drill where you can practice your footwork moving around the court. This mode can also be sued to vary shots for practicing high and low volleys. Your imagination is the only limitation for this set-up.
