“I Thought Playing Tennis Alone Was Impossible… Until a Blue Little ‘Buddy’ Proved Me Wrong.” Last month I did something I hadn’t done in years: I hit a clean forehand… in my driveway. No court. No partner. No chasing balls. Just me, a racket, and ten minutes between school pickup and dinner. If that sounds ridiculous, same. I used to think you couldn’t play tennis unless five stars aligned: free court, same-level partner, no wind, no wait, and a free afternoon. That’s why my racket sat in the closet like a broken promise. I wasn’t trying to get on a team. I just wanted to have fun again. ======== Where I Was I kept saying “maybe next week.” Friends were busy or way better than me. Driving to a court to chase balls for 20 minutes felt… exhausting. Every week I didn’t play, I felt a little less like me. ======== The 1:37 AM Spiral One night I Googled: “Can you play tennis by yourself?” “Beginner tennis without a partner” “How to try tennis when you’re rusty” The internet said: “Find a wall.” Cool. Also: unhelpful Then I saw a clip of someone playing in a parking spot with a small blue base and a ball on a string. They were having so much fun. I rolled my eyes… and watched it twice. “Gimmick,” I said. “But it looks… fun,” the other part of me said. ======== Myth vs. Truth Myth: Tennis requires a partner your level. Truth: You need a ball that comes back at your level. Myth: You need a full court. Truth: You need about 15 feet and something that stays put. Myth: Beginners make it miserable for better players. Truth: With the right setup, beginners can play without a partner—no guilt, no pressure. ======== What I Discovered It’s called the NextGen™ Tennis Buddy. A weighted base (water for kids, sand for adults) with an elastic string attached to a tennis ball. Hit it and the ball returns. Adjust the string so it comes back at a friendly speed. No court. No chasing. No partner. Setup took less time than finding my shoes: • Fill base (water/sand) • Clip string to ball • Adjust length • Start tapping, then swinging First five minutes: I was smiling. Ten minutes: the stress dropped. By minute fifteen: my daughter said, “Your turn, Mom,” and we made a rule—whoever’s stressed gets five minutes. ======== Not for Serious Players (On Purpose) If you’re training for leagues, keep scrolling.
