Spivo ® Audible TOPSPIN! for PRO Players,10-Weeks-Training Course. Used by Boris Becker Academy. More Power & Spin! Accessories Set, Own Hitting Technique Analysis, at Home Tennis Trainer Book

I have used this once on the court and it worked as advertised. The short story is that when you have the proper movement of the tennis racket to hit a shot with topspin, air passes through the device and creates a whistle sound. The faster your racket speed and movement, the louder and higher pitched the whistle. No sound means you are not using the right technique.There really are not any real negatives to this. It makes sense to me how it works. There is no reply rocket science to it. But it does work. After using for a day of playing, I was hitting harder, deeper groundstrokes.There are two different versions in the box. One for a beginner type and one for a more advanced player. They even include a couple different colors to match your racket. I thought that was a nice touch.There is an included storage pouch as well as access to some training videos which I have yet to watch honestly. I had to got through a couple hoops to gain access to the videos. It was a little noting but not too bad. It actually took a few days. You have to ask for activation on a chat group and wait till they see it and respond. I think this could have been a little simpler but not a big deal.I will be using this more and see how well it improves my game overall. So far so good. Five star product in my opinion.

Instructions were very straightforward and was useful tool for confirming my topspin stroke. Unfortunately, the Spivo I came off after the first 45 min of use . It came apart during a hit such that half of it flew off the racket, out of the court and is now forever lost in the grass. Disappointing that it comes off so easily.

I don't see how adding this gadget and hearing your the swoosh sound will make you improve. Yes, it tells you whether there is spin on your swings but that doesn't necessarily teach you how to hit better. I think this is a waste of money.

I had a few problems getting started with the spivo bundle. The bundle consists of two spivo devices to attach to your tennis racquet: spivo I and spivo II, an operating manual (printed in 24 languages), a carrying case with carabiner, and a “style kit” with different colored covers for the spivo devices.The operating manual had very little information, but it initially presented a decision that the user had to make regarding which spivo device to use. It said, “before you start assembling, please decide whether you want to train with spivo I or II”. I tried everywhere to find information about what the differences were between spivo I and II, so I could “start assembling”. In the technical specifications section of the manual, it showed spivo I was 1/10th of a gram heavier and ½ mm larger than spivo II. That was not enough information to help me decide which to use.There was no mention of the devices in the eBook. It wasn’t until I got to the second lesson in the online course that it was mentioned what the difference between the two devices was. spivo I is for a more aggressive, slightly less topspin style of stroke; spivo II is for a very heavy topspin stroke.Now I could begin… Actually, what I did was to install each spivo on a different racquet and do some shadow swings (swinging the racquet without contacting a ball) with each to see what happened. When I swung the racquet with a flat stroke, only in the horizontal plane, neither racquet produced any audible feedback. When I swung the racquets in a “low to high” swing plane the spivos whistled away.The eBook gives a very detailed description of the mechanics of tennis as well as some advice on tactics: technique training and tactics training. The emphasis is on repeating things so often that they become part of the subconscious and thus can be implemented during match play when there is little time to think.It seems to me that the book is aimed at someone who has quite a bit of knowledge of the game of tennis. To read the book and be able to implement its suggestions is not an easy task for a beginning player or even and intermediate player; however, an advanced player probably already knows the principles and techniques mentioned here and implements them in their practice and match time.The spivo device seems to be aimed at helping the beginning player produce a topspin swing by giving immediate feedback when the proper swing path is achieved. Likewise, the device can help the intermediate player continue to groove their topspin swing. I’m not sure the device would be that helpful for an advanced player – they should know how to warmup and practice properly without the audible aid of the spivo whistle.Unfortunately, I was unable to get much of the online course to work properly, so I cannot offer a guess as to who would benefit from that portion of the bundle.Ultimately, I think the bundle really should be targeted at the tennis instructor. Someone with training in teaching tennis would get the most out of the eBook and get some tips that they may want to implement in their future lessons with beginning and intermediate students. The instructor could have their students use the spivo devices during lessons to provide constant feedback about whether their swing technique is correct. The instructor would not have to constantly remind the player to use proper technique, the spivo device would let the student know this with each swing.There are several string dampening devices on the market that can be added to your racquet to give you audible feedback, but none that I know of work like the spivo. The other devices whistle louder the faster you swing, to remind beginning and intermediate players to generate the desired racquet head speed. To my knowledge, only spivo lets you know about topspin.The spivo devices sold by themselves could be targeted at most tennis players, but the spivo bundle seems to me to be most appropriate for a tennis instructor. However, at Amazon’s price, the bundle costs about the same as a 1-hour tennis lesson, and so may still be a decent bargain for someone seriously interested in trying to improve their tennis game. For those serious folks, I would recommend this product.

It whistles when a racquet is swung properly. However, it also whistles when a racquet is swung improperly, such as swinging too vertically, which will lead to too much topspin with little forward momentum. Therefore, you need a keen-eyed coach who will spot your faulty mechanics when you practice. For a beginner, it may be an okay tool to engrain a topspin swing path (providing there is a coach), but for an intermediate and above, I don't think this is a useful tool.

Short version: yes, I recommend this, as a topspin aid, not a solution. Add-on products may be a (partial) solution.Spivo is an audible feedback tool. When the racquet moves edge-on to the airflow, Spivo whistles. Edge-on is how we add topspin (with the "windshield wiper" motion). Using a ball machine, I discovered how erratic my topspin technique had become. After an hour with Spivo whistling at me, I was back to 65-70% successful forehand & backhand topspin returns, which seems good for an older recreational player. The product description says it provides "Audible Spin for PRO Players" and a "10-week training course".The packaging made startup confusing, and exactly how to insert the Spivo wasn't clear. The tiny print of the credit card-sized manual was unreadable to me. However, the Spivo website was attractively done, but still without clear instructions. The objective was to ensure that you download the Spivo app, create an account, and "Unlock Purchased Content" for your Spivo. They also offer 1-on-1 coaching. As a recreational player, I just needed the audible consistency reminder.Note: do not PLAY with Spivo on your racquet. Even using the ball machine, an off-center hit knocked the cover off one side of the Spivo, making a foot hazard on the court. It was easy to reattach, but disconcerting.I am glad to have it, and gave it 5 starts. With the app and 1-on-1 coaching it may be even better, but as a recreational play, this is enough.

Buona l'idea. Peccato che i due dispositivi forniti si stacchino piuttosto facilmente durante il gioco, con il rischio di perderli nel campo. SI tratta semplicemente di due fischietti in plastica che vengono applicati sulla testa della racchetta e che suonano in modo più o meno intenso in base al top-spin applicato durante il colpo. per il prezzo a cui vengono venduti, mi aspettavo che contenessero almeno un rilevatore di movimento per l'analisi sei colpi. Niente di tutto questo...... per 147 euro comperate due fischietti in plastica!!! Non valgono il loro prezzo.

Sehr cooles und professionelles Tennis Trainer Set! Für den etwas "anspruchsvolleren" Spieler. Wirklich gut, um die richtige Position des Treffpunkts zu üben. Denn man hört super deutlich, wie viel Topspin man spielt. Immer und immer wieder, direkt im Schwung. So ist es einfach zu wissen, was richtig oder falsch ist.Die beiden spivos sind wie kleine iPodUfos zum Topspin pfeifen – man fängt tatsächlich an, seinen Schwung intuitiv zu perfektionieren: Man fühlt sich wirklich sicher und selbstbewusst! Meine ganze Familie liebt es!Danke an den Support, für die Tipps, wie ich spivo für meine jüngste Tochter umsetzen kann! Die mitgelieferten Übungs- und Erklärvideos im Kurs machen auf jeden Fall Sinn 😉 !Meine anfängliche Skepsis, ob sich das lohnt, ist komplett verflogen. Ich kann nur sagen, der Tennistrainer hält was er verspricht. Die „Ballwechsel“ klappen jetzt wie ich es mir vorgestellt hatte und machen echt Spaß. Für mich als Tennis Amateur Spieler war es erstmal gar nicht so einfach längere Ballwechsel mit Topspin hinzubekommen, aber nach ein paar Anwendungen komme ich immer besser rein.Bisher gibt es auf jeden Fall noch keine Abnutzungserscheinungen. Das einzige Störende vielleicht ist, dass die Befestigung sich manchmal etwas verdreht nach längerem Spielen, aber das lässt sich in wenigen Sekunden wieder herrichten. Alles in allem ein super Produkt! Danke!!

Eigentlich ne tolle Sache und der Pfeifton hilft wirklich den Schlag zu verbessern.Ärgerlich das bei einem so teueren Produkt der das Gegenstück von Schläger fliegt. Hab es dann auch nicht mehr gefunden.

The media could not be loaded. Super komplett Paket, um Seine Vorhand und Rückhand auf Top Niveau zu bringen. Allein die Kombination aus dem vermittelten Wissen und dem Spivo-Tool, macht das Üben zum Erfolgserlebnis. Ich habe wirklich schon viele Tipps von Trainern ausprobiert und alle hatten sie etwas mit dem Armschwung zu tun, aber so hat es mir noch keiner erklärt. Den Schläger zu schleudern, anstatt kontrolliert zu drücken ist nur mit der Gewissheit über den direkten Ton für mich überhaupt möglich gewesen. Sonst hätte ich das nie durchgezogen! Man denkt man verliert Kontrolle aber es ist das komplette Gegenteil der Fall! Hammer! Jetzt bin ich viel lockerer und habe immer die 100%ige Sicherheit, mit dem Ton vor dem Treffen ist der Topspin und Kontrolle sicher. Mein Spiel ist deutlich aggressiver geworden. Vielen Dank! Es haben schon mehrere Spieler in meinem Club von Spivo profitiert 😉 Ich hoffe, dass meine Bewertung seinen Teil zu dieser tollen Idee beitragen kann. Weiter so!

Habe mehr mit Suchen verbracht. Die sind mir nämlich immer wieder vom Schlager geflogen. Nicht mein Fall.
