The Bottom Line
Viborace is a padel-specific machine from Spain — one of the few machines built exclusively for padel. It's popular in European padel clubs and designed for the sport's unique court dimensions.
But at €4,900, roughly $5,300, it costs more than double the Tennibot Partner while offering no cameras, no court movement and no player tracking. It is a serious machine on endurance, with up to 180 balls and a 7 to 10 hour battery, and it is controlled by an app on a phone that ships in the box. What it does not do is read the court or respond to where you are standing, and it carries a 1-year warranty against the Partner’s 3.
And if court movement isn’t what you’re after, the Partner Lite runs the same AI, 4K cameras, drills and app in a stationary 25 lb machine for $1,525, under a third of the Viborace price.
Viborace charges a premium for padel heritage. The Tennibot Partner delivers AI-powered padel training at less than half the price.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Viborace worth the price for padel?
At €4,900, roughly $5,300, Viborace is more than double the cost of the Tennibot Partner ($2,275). It is genuinely strong on endurance, with up to 180 balls and a 7 to 10 hour battery, and it is app-controlled from a phone included in the box. What it has no answer for is cameras, player tracking, court movement, or a warranty longer than a year. Unless all-day capacity from a padel-heritage European brand is the priority, the Partner delivers more capability for far less money.
What is the difference between Tennibot and Viborace?
The Tennibot Partner costs less than half, moves autonomously across the court, uses AI to track your position, adapts shots in real time, and carries a 3-year warranty. Viborace is stationary and app-controlled, with a bigger hopper and a longer battery than the Partner, but no cameras, no player tracking, and a 1-year warranty.
Is Viborace available in the US?
Viborace is a Spanish brand primarily distributed in Europe. US availability may require international shipping. The Tennibot Partner ships directly within the US with domestic support and a 60-day money-back guarantee.
What is the best padel ball machine in the US?
The Tennibot Partner is the most feature-rich padel ball machine available in the US market, with AI vision, autonomous court movement, and padel-specific court mapping at $2,275. Viborace is available at €4,900, roughly $5,300, with a bigger hopper and longer battery but no cameras or player tracking.
Does Viborace have AI features?
No. Viborace is app-controlled from a phone included in the box, and it lets you build and sequence shots, but it has no cameras, no player tracking, and no ability to adapt to your position or skill level. The Tennibot Partner is the only padel machine with real-time AI vision and autonomous movement.
