This would get boring after 10mins. For anyone hitting it harder than a pea shooter the ball would just jump out

I just got mine yesterday and set it up for tennis in my basement. Mine makes a "Pong" sound when the ball rebounds off the metal plank. If you have limited room behind you, you can move forward and hit it off the first plank bounce rather than the second floor bounce. With the plank bounce, I hold my racket high and coiled until I hear the pong, then loop accelerate through the ball allowing the racket momentum to smack the ball. You can hit it quite hard and with topspin and the ball rebounds in a controlled fashion like a coach feeding you balls, unlike a wall where the ball comes back at you like a cannon shot. Because of the faster cycling, there are many more practice strokes per training session to perfect your technique and good exercise. However, one has to make sure to fully follow thru with good finish, since it is easy to fall back to limited follow thru in anticipation of the next return. Works well for slices and drop shots too. I am already getting up to 40-50 shots in a row and it is great for eye hand coordination, ball tracking, gradual ramping up of power and/or spin, timing, shot accuracy/repeatability, reflexes, and aerobic fitness (you can work up a sweat). My backhand is getting just as good if not better than my forehand after just one night. The frame on mine was slightly racked, left upper higher than the right, which I quickly remedied with a paracord string from the lower right base to the lower right corner of the net frame. On a slick tile floor the base can walk back with repeated powershots, fixed by placing a short strip of Velcro on the floor behind the front feet.

Triple Threat Backhand Drill: Once you develop a good one-handed backhand topspin and backhand slice on this rebounder, you can combine them in a rebounder drill that creates a challenge to opponents on the court. I perform these on the first bounce of the plank using an orange and yellow junior training ball. First hit is a moderately placed one-handed backhand with a focus on placement accuracy, second hit is a one-handed power topspin backhand where you hear the training ball "Pop" from the solid hit, third shot is a slice backhand with either drop shot backspin or off speed side spin observing the multi-colored ball spinning at the top of the rebounder, then repeat over and over. This drill is handy on the court as you can pull off either of these three backhands with the same set up stance and Continental grip. The power topspin backs up the opponent behind the base line followed by the finesse shot that forces them to run forward. If either of the three shots gets sloppy, then revert to repeating that shot over and over, mitigating any weaknesses or flaws. One trick is to use a similar finish for each of the three shots, ending chest proud with the arms extended part ways behind you. Your opponent's first clue on how to react to your shot is your body language, so if they see the same body position finish, yet the ball's return speed varies greatly, they can be caught out of position. Finesse shots require a lot of racket feel which you can develop with repetition on the rebounder, so they deserve a good amount of your practice time. Opponents often try to return the ball to your backhand side (which on most recreational players is weaker), but if you flummox them with varied backhands they will then be forced to play to your dominant forehand side. Even players who rely on the two-handed backhand should learn a decent one-handed backhand slice because it allows more reach on the backhand side, is good for forward slow balls, and is the foundation of learning backhand drop shots and side spin shots. It's a high to low racket swinging motion of the shoulder with a bent elbow.

My favorite tennis drill is two forehands, two backhands, two forehands, two backhands, etc, first bounce off the plank. The first shot is moderate pace with a focus on precise accuracy, and the second shot is full power full follow through game winner. This helps to learn grip transition by feel, transition footwork, controlled accuracy, and ramping up of power. Pretty soon the power shots become accurate too. If I alternate forehand/backhand one shots off the first bounce, it gets a little too frantic to concentrate on form, power, and accuracy and follow through gets abbreviated too much.

Forehand/Backhand Alternating Drill: Before I said that alternating forehand and two-handed backhand shots off the first plank bounce was a bit too frantic with abbreviated follow through. However, I have been practicing this more and it is becoming much less frantic with better form and power. It is also the best aerobic exercise drill on the rebounder and adds more realism than just hitting 50 forehands in a row. I use an orange and yellow junior training ball because it compresses more so I get good auditory "Pop!" feedback from solid hits. The first tip is to begin accelerating on the downswing, before ball contact. True, it is good to think about accelerating thru the ball as well, but the sooner you begin the acceleration with a modern looping action, the faster your racket head speed and the more "Pop" you will hear on contact. This drill will quickly point out which stroke is weaker for you. Most players have a weaker backhand which can be improved by earlier racket acceleration and listening for the "Pop". Second tip is to lag your rear foot so that after the shot it comes around so you are facing the net more squarely in the "ready position". This immediately puts you halfway thru transition and is the primary way to eliminate the frantic feeling. It also encourages good torso rotation and follow thru, but must not be forced and artificial and should lag behind the shot. Third tip is to set up in a coiled anticipatory position. For the forehand, you are pushing the throat of the racket to the side with your non-dominant hand which helps to coil turn the torso and once you hear the ball "pong" off the plank, you initiate your looping forehand acceleration. For the backhand, extend your dominant arm back which develops spring like tension and torso rotation. Fourth tip is to focus on the ball and allow the footwork, grip, and torso rotation to become intuitive feel. It helps to try to see the fuzz on the ball and making contact when the ball is in the descending portion of its arc. Fifth tip is to try different footwork pacing. You can try rapid on-the-toes small steps for high intensity and optimal body position for each shot, as well as economy of motion medium steps where you might have to handle being slightly out of position with close-in balls and reach for lateral balls but should still strive for solid and accurate hits. Both types of footwork are used in matches depending on the intensity and level of fatigue. This rapid transition drill is extremely good at learning grip transition feel as you move your body into position so it becomes intuitive and second nature. Sixth tip is that alternating shots allows tension to dissipate and thus lessening the risk of overuse injury from repeating one type of shot over and over. It is good to remain supple, not to the point of going limp, but to stay fluid. Seventh tip is the aerobic benefits of moving your feet and torso. Today it was raining so I did this drill indoors as an aerobic exercise substitute for my every other day hill repeat bicycle ride. I started sweating with this drill after 5 minutes and stayed in the sweat zone for at least 40 minutes without breaks (over 1,300 hits at one hit every 2 seconds). I was dripping with sweat at the end, with a sustained elevated heart rate and breathing rate. I would say it is the equivalent of a long steady uphill bike ride in the saddle. Not as intense as attacking a hill out of the saddle but longer, still a good cardio workout, using more muscle groups, and definitely boosting coordination and tennis muscle memory at the same time.
