Can you tell what the diameter of the cord is and how long?

Thank you so much for the demo! I bought one online before I viewed your tutorial and I like your idea better. I actually feel the bungee cord is too short for me with the one I bought. I would be willing to create what you did but with a chord twice as long and maybe a ten pound weight as I feel I can hit the ball harder and have more reaction time mimicing a true really with an opposing high level player. Thank you so much! Greatly appreciated! Please keep the videos coming! Very helpful!

Thank you for the tutorial, here are just a few things I noticed when building it. My cable tie broke and the ball went to the moon :D I think it was too small and therefore too weak, so keep in mind to use a rather big one as shown! It worked best for me to make two holes that are very close to each other and also very close to the surface of the ball, so I was able to put the cord through the ball directly and didn't need a cable tie. The pressure of the ball was lost but it did not affect the bounce of it too much.

EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!!! I already have two Tourna Fill-and-Drill trainers; substituting a bungee cord is a GREAT idea (which I'm definitely going to do, so thanks)...these trainers are good for beginners, but you need to hit perfectly to maintain your stroke since these devices can train you to hit "high". But, if you can't get on-court, get to a wall, or afford a rebounder and you actually want to hit a ball, this will do in a pinch--and honestly, this Make it or Break It device is MUCH better than the ones you can purchase from Amazon. Though some are priced at below 10 bucks. Great Video. Loved it.

Fishing line works too. Average ball impact endured is around 126 newtons, approximate 28 pound force. So any line for over 30 pound is strong enough. Monofilament may be better than braided line, allowing a little stretch of ball bounding emulates better, and transparent lines doesn’t distract.

Rishi, punching the hole may and it may not. Depending on how old the ball is I've been doing a study of this question since it is asked frequently. For most, myself included it doesn't seem like a big deal for some it seems to be an issue. Let me know how the dental floss works, it seems like it might be a challenge to get it tight enough.

I am thinking you could use a shorter length of bungee from the base for a couple of metres and then a very light string for the rest of the way to the ball.. might improve its characteristics.

Do you think the 1/8 cord is too heavy and not elastic enough, would you think 1/16 cord is too skinny and break? I noticed when you hit the ball, the rebound was really quick and you didn't have enough time to hit the next shot.

@MakeItorBreakItNow

Ryan, 1/16 shock cord may work, might be worth giving it a try, it may eventually break but then you could replace it. The thing to consider is the force of the ball when it breaks, don't be near windows or small children. The commercial versions use almost rubber bands and feedback I've seen on store sites is they don't last long. The bounce back on the 1/16 cord would likely be slower, good point.

matti mag, go to any store that has fishing gear of any type, like Walmart, and get an egg swivel size zero, should only cost a couple of dollars for about 20 or more open up the metal eye just enough to slide on the swivel then bend it back.

Is there something i can use instead of a bungee string? I don't have the budget right now but id like to try this!

you could use a thinner elastic you can get at any Walmart or craft store but it may break faster. The elastic bungee I use here hasn't failed me yet.

I have a question. I really want to build this but my local store does not hold the bungie cord. Will paracord work the same even tho it does not stretch alot?

rylee, paracord won't really work. I posted in the comments section where you can get the bungie cord on Amazon.

Would 1/4" or 3/16" bungee work best? Those are the only two options I have.

Julie Soluri, go with the 3/16 if that is your two options, 1/8 would be better long term.

Does the pressure gets removed completely after making a hole in ball ? can we play well with punctured ball ?

Great job! Where did you buy the elastic cord and the E6000?

Jose, thanks for the compliment. The elastic cord details are in the comment section, below the video. E6000 can be purchased in almost any big store. I think I got mine at Walmart, but have also bought it at Michaels.

nice video. thanks. may I ask you a question? could you tell me which length is ideal for training? I am considering buying a 10 meters cord. In my opinion, 5 or 7 meters is too short....

@MakeItorBreakItNow

I think it comes down to personal preference, and how hard you hit the ball. 5-7 meters seems to work for most people based on the feedback I've gotten so far. If 10 meters ends up working out better for you please share. Thanks.

Alejandro, try a bowline knot, it doesn't slip at all. In this video at 8:29 I go over how to tie a bowline knot: kzread.info/dash/bejne/g6ZlwbOQp5e4e5c.html

Could you state what size is the bungee/shock cord you used? Would it be 1/16" or 1/8" diameter and what brand? The are many choices and different construction. The link that is listed, took me to a site that had 3/16", which I bought thinking this was recommended (my bad for not reading all the comments). Well, it's too heavy, the ball does not come back. So I need to buy a different cord. So, I will wait for your reply on size and brand. Also for a rubber bottom, I flipped carpet around and glued the fiber side to my base plate. Leaving the rubber side exposed and the base didn't skid.

eeman119, I just checked my cord used in the build and its definitely 1/8 inch. The link looks like its changed a bit over the last week or so. Here's another source with the right sized cord that I've also bought from that is reliable. www.amazon.com/Polypro-Shock-Cord-inch-Polypropylene/dp/B078ND2ZYZ. The carpet idea is great, thanks for sharing.

Can I use a racquetball instead of a tennis ball. I enjoy playing racquetball but I don’t always have a court or a wall?

@MakeItorBreakItNow

Sure, a racquetball may work, not sure if it would hold up as good as a tennis ball. Let me know if you try it...

How do you make the holes in the tennis ball without losing pressure in the ball? The holes are just in the Surface of the ball? Or they go all the way through?

@MakeItorBreakItNow

You puncture the ball and then seal up the holes with super glue, I've run several tests and working on a video to show, not a lot of bounce is sacrificed. Plan on posting a new video on this as tennis season starts again in the spring.
