Tennibot, which says it is “the only company designing, engineering, and assembling AI-powered ball machines in the United States”, has launched Partner Lite, a new AI-powered ball machine that delivers the company’s signature intelligent training experience at its most accessible price yet.
Available for a special introductory price of $1,495 for the first 30 days, Partner Lite gives players the same app-guided AI custom drills that power Tennibot’s flagship Partner V2, while introducing a stationary design that lowers the cost of entry for athletes, coaches, clubs, and training facilities.
Orders for the Partner Lite open yesterday, August 26, 2026, with shipping beginning in September.
As tennis, pickleball, and padel continue experiencing unprecedented global growth, players are embracing technology to improve their games. Yet the cost of sophisticated training equipment has remained one of the biggest barriers to adoption.
Tennibot developed Partner Lite to bring AI-powered practice within reach of a far broader audience without sacrificing the intelligent software experience that sets the company’s products apart.
Haitham Eletrabi, CEO and co-founder of Tennibot, says: “Partner V2 was built for players who want a fully autonomous training partner that moves around the court with them.
“Partner Lite takes that same brain – the same AI-guided custom drills, the same engineering philosophy – and puts it in a simple stationary machine, for the player who just wants to walk onto the court and start hitting quality reps, at a price that opens the door to a lot more players.”
Partner Lite enables players to create customized training sessions through Tennibot’s mobile app, offering intelligent drills tailored to individual skill levels and practice goals.
While the machine remains stationary during operation, it is fully compatible with Tennibot’s Rover autonomous ball collector, allowing users to build a complete AI-powered training system over time.
The new machine will be available in dedicated versions for tennis and padel, as well as pickleball.
