@@enricofiorillo6580 its realistic. Some will like the setup better than others as it is with everything.
Можете сказать , какой диаметр шнура и какова длинна?
Can you tell what the diameter of the cord is and how long?
This is great. I have been using a similar store bought of this but the rubber band string was always weak. Love the Bungee cord. Way stronger. I can even do this in my yard off the patio without it breaking now. Thanks for vid.
JC G, thanks for the feedback, glad the video worked for you.
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!
Craig, thanks for the feedback. I'm designing a newer version with a 5 lb weight for heavy hitters like yourself.
Thanks for doing this - I already have a rebounded but now I can make it a lot stronger
Tro Vis, glad you found my video helpful. Thanks for the feedback.
Wish I had that stuff laying around. I’d really like to try making this. Great video! Thanks.
Victoria, give it a try, it works great. Thanks for leaving a comment, much appreciated.
I already bought one of the retail versions and was looking on UA-cam and found your video. If the retail one fails I am definitely following this tutorial for a home made version! Looks amazing
which retail one did you buy and was it worth it?
EButt, thanks for the comment, look forward to the update.
How is the one you bought!?
I just bought a cheap knock off version of this for £2, but will definitely be trying your version out as soon as I get hold of the parts. Love the idea, effort and energy. Keep it up my friend, great work and great channel!
Game, Set, Facts, thanks for the feedback. Trust me, this is still hanging in there for us, good luck on your build. tell me how it goes.
Great idea!!! My husband bought the base, but it didn’t come with the ball. So we had some 🎾 at home, I followed the steps to make it work. Thank you!!!!
Vania Lopez, thanks for the feedback. Glad my video helped you out.
Just finish the job. Had a hard Time with the ball passing the tie rap but ive donne it. Thanks again!
Ricky S69, glad it worked for you. enjoy.

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.
mindthe_gap, thanks for the feedback from your build, very helpful for me and others. Keep your thoughts and ideas coming.
how did u get the cord through the holes in the ball?
@@Lauren-vd4qe , I used the cable tie itself. you can bend the tip to help it through. I guess you could use para cord, I think I'll try making version 2.0 incorporating all the thoughts and a couple more ideas I've come up with after making a pickleball rebounder and a lacrosse rebounder.
@@MakeItorBreakItNow thats totally COOL!! keep up the good work!! all ball sports people applaud you!!
I was just interested in the ball line attachment and your solution is great! Thanks mate! Don’t be mad i won’t watch the rest...gotta get my chain whip practice thing done.
completely understand. Everyone needs priorities. Thanks for taking time to leave a comment.
Great idea on the tie wrap! I just bought a similar one for $10.69 at Walmart that you fill base with water. Ball had threads stitched with elastic cord attached. First day the cord broke off. I was able to reattach it until the ball went flying off into a filled dumpster. So now I will do your tie wrap trick on a new tennis ball.
Thanks again for your comment, I like how you think...
this is awesome! thanks for sharing this! i'm going to build one for my kids!!!!
Bryan, thanks for the comment. It keeps my teens busy, hope your kids enjoy it too.

You're welcome, new updated version coming out this week. Are you playing cricket with a tennis ball?
@@MakeItorBreakItNow yes I am
@@aditanjaria great idea, I might have to get my cricket bat out and try it myself. Thanks for the suggestion.
Great job. Love it. You could have a shorter and longer length ready. So as to train a little different. One idea I had that might add another nuance.
Use it on a slope. Up hill or down ? Just an idea. Thanx for posting.

Можете сказать , какой диаметр шнура и какова длинна?
Can you tell what the diameter of the cord is and how long?
@@user-bm6mf9he5w The video uses 1/8 inch diameter bungee, or 3.175mm.
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.
JJ Soto, thanks for the detailed comment and endorsement. Both are greatly appreciated.
I find I can volley pretty well with the fill and drill.
I wanted to by One at store and.....Out of stock! ... So im gonna build my hown! Thank you so mutch for this video Montreal Canada
Ricky S69, good luck eh. Tell me how it turns out.
Can you tell what the diameter of the cord is and how long?
Лвл Ьяля diameter dos not realy matter bunjee with good elasticity Work better lenght is about 15 to 16 feet and if found that passing shoe lacess throug inside the ball work better than tierap
@@rickys6955 , I'm working on a new version that only has one hole, and is easier to install. Currently perfecting the design.
ua-cam.com/video/C-SwDAAgZVc/v-deo.html
Too cool.
Do you go into the inside the tennis ball with the awl and zip tie or between the ball cover and the rubber?
If inside the tennis ball, does a pressureless ball work better?
Jeffery Wong, thanks for your feedback. I go through the tennis ball, then seal it up with super glue. It gets close to the pressure of the original ball. Tennis balls are fairly low pressure to begin with.
Great idea and execution. Will puching holes in the ball make it bounce lower? I am thinking of weaving detal floss with a needle to attach the string, don't know if the felt will rip out.
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.
This is amazing!
Ben, thanks. You might also like this updated version: ua-cam.com/video/xKoI3LAIoaU/v-deo.html
Perfect. Does the cable tie rip through the rubber wall between two holes? I purchased ready-made ones but ball quality is poor and one of those balls last just one day before cracking at the seam where two rubber half-cups join are joined.
RP, Mine hasn't so far. Also have an updated version that works just as well if not better: ua-cam.com/video/xKoI3LAIoaU/v-deo.html
Amazing! The outcome is amazing. initially I couldn't understand but seeing the result, I'm so happy.
But I don't know where the hell I gonna get all the stuff being used in this process, except ball:). Can you please help!
shirin, here's my new and improved version you might be interested in that's easier to make. All the details are there you need: ua-cam.com/video/xKoI3LAIoaU/v-deo.html
Hello, I congratulate you on the video. It's fantastic! I would like to know how many millimeters is the elastic cord? From already thank you very much. Greetings from Uruguay.
Fede Garcia, about 3 millimeters in diameter. Thanks for your question.
Excelente aporte para esta situación de cuarentena
Miguel M Garcia, gracias.
amazing man, thank you so much
vinigunner94, your welcome. Thanks for the feedback.
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.
Aiwu Zhang. Thanks for your thoughts here. I came us with a new set of rebounders and mentioned the different cord options. Also came up with a new approach that doesn't go through the ball. Here's the new video: ua-cam.com/video/xKoI3LAIoaU/v-deo.html
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.
Dan E Garner, thanks for your comment. Great suggestion, I'll have to try shortening the bungee like you suggested to see if it works. A lighter string on one of my prototype broke quickly.
gr8 idea to make! The actual item is back-ordered for at least a month. But man do u need to practice!!lol
ChrisMellon, thanks for the feedback. You're right, my need to practice is the whole reason why made this in the first place.
Great idea! I’ve made my own. It looks perfect, I did all the same steps, but the ball doesn’t bounce back. Is it too flat? Any tips on how to get a decent rebound? I’m a complete beginner but love this idea. Thanks for sharing.
Currently, my line is ~15 feet long. Should it be shorter to get a better rebound? Thank you for the help.
Hit it top spin upwards. 😊
@@laurabrockert-kennedy7662 shortening the line helps. I'm finalizing a pickle ball rebounder and its the same challenge. Finding the right amount of line out for you takes a little bit of time. The ball bounce isn't as big a deal as some folks may think unless you're an elite player and open a new can of balls each time you play. I've done some studies on new versus older tennis balls I plan to post soon.
Awesome!. Just in time for quarantine. Looks like 15ft is a little short to have a more realistic bounce of the ball.
Cesarini77, the length is a personal preference and has some to do with how good of a regular tennis payer you are. I talk about the length tradeoffs in the video. If you end up with a better length for you, please share here so all can benefit from your experience. Thanks!
@@MakeItorBreakItNow I'll be making one myself today with 20 ft. If its too long ill make a loop just like you said to shorten it. And yes, ill post my results. And again, thank you for making this video.
This is great for practicing during the coronavirus lockdown
Alejandro, thanks for the feedback, check out my new rebounder for pickleball, just posted: ua-cam.com/video/p0aGoCUwxcU/v-deo.html
It is a good skill. Thanks.
Iam Jay, thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you like it.
Make It or Break It this is great and I'm trying to get all the parts together. I am having a lot of trouble finding the 2.5 in weight plate with the correct center hole size for the 1/2 pvc piece to fit into. I purchased one on Ebay but the diameter on that was 3 times the size. Any advise? Would appreciate it
Tammy Conrad, here is the weight I used on amazon: www.amazon.com/CAP-Barbell-Standard-Plate-Black/dp/B01E9DYL94. But I think I got mine cheap at a local Walmart. You might also try a larger PVC end cap that fits the weight you have. You might not need a dowel you could use a square piece of wood. Hope this helps, if you have more questions, please type back. Good luck.
@@MakeItorBreakItNow Thanks I'm gonna check out everything you suggested. I'll let you know. Thanks for your quick response.
Thank you I sure make one!
Glad you for the comment. Good luck with your build.
Great idea
Great video. What's the name of the tool you used to punch the hole into the ball?
It's an awl.
Awesome well done mate !!!
John, thanks for the positive feedback. Much appreciated!
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....
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.
@@MakeItorBreakItNow ok. I ordered a 10 meters cord. I'll try it. thanks
This is awesome! Aldi.. always little fun surprise finds there 😀

mondie Annan, thanks for your feedback. Give building it try, everybody has to start somewhere.
good idea with the cord
J Chapman, thanks for the feedback.
Why in the lord's name have I never thought of doing this before. I'm sick of the store bought balls on a string that break after a couple of weeks. More tennis balls than I know what to with, tools to go with it and I'm pretty confident the exactly right sized rope for the job (if not... you can never have enough rope)
Dude, thanks for comment and thoughts here. Agree the store bought versions are poorly constructed. Enjoy the satisfaction of making your own, better version.

Can you tell what the diameter of the cord is and how long?
Thanks for sharing this great video! , you saved me from buying. thanks!
3k design, glad the video helped you save money, thanks for leaving a comment, and look for more sports equipment builds coming soon.
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.
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.
hello, I'm from Chile. Can you explain to me with a little more detail, in which way the ball is made (how to run to make it almost smooth) since your explanation is very fast. Thanks a lot regards
Svonko Berrios, thanks for your question. make two small holes as mentioned in the video then run the 4 or 6 inch cable tie through the holes, trim the cable tie, then push the square connector portion through the closest hole. Seal the holes with super glue and then follow the rest of the build. I hope this helps.

CAMALOTECOSMICO gracias!!
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.
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.
@@MakeItorBreakItNow Hi. While searching youtube for DIY fix options for my old school tennis trainer I came across your instruction video. Great job 👍 Thx for sharing. I will give the ball/string ( 1/16 in) DIY a go. Have a great weekend.
@@madamhummingbird good luck on your build. Tell me how it works out. You could also make the cord longer to give yourself more response time. Thanks for your comment.
if the cord is longer he wd have more prep time for next hit
Thank you 👍
You're welcome.
Think I may have phrased my question wrong. Not so much concerned with the bounce of the ball and more of the snap back of the bungee. Might a shorter bungee and a harder hit get it to return to me better so I can hit it repeatedly? Any insight is appreciated.
Laura, a shorter bungee increases the return power for me. It doesn't take much sometimes...
Good job! 👍
Melih, thanks, its a lot of fun.
hi, you can see the construction of a rebounder tennis??
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.
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?
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.
@@MakeItorBreakItNow thanks so much for answering! I will try it!
Good Idea. I like it.

Mj Cee, thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.
Thanks for this.I didn’t have a 1/8” bungee so tried using a 1/4” bungee but the rebound isn’t the best. Is 1/8” required to make this work?
1/8 or slightly smaller bungie seems to work best. You must have a heck of an arm to get any bounce out of 1/4.
Thanks. I finally got the 1/8 bungee today and hooked it up. Getting the cable ties inside was super challenging but after a while I managed to. Will
Hit the courts tomm and see how it works and write you an update. Thanks for super clear instructions
@@tugga82 you're welcome, hope you have fun.
I used a 5lb weight for the base. Could this have an impact on any of the mechanics of the ball coming back?
@@tugga82 it should help keep the base it place better, but shouldn't affect the bungy performance.
Great idea for a quicker version just tie the bungee cord to the plate through the handle and lay it on a piece of rubber mat, that way I get my plate back when my son is done with it :)
simon, great idea, thanks for sharing.
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 wonder how this would respond to having the base on an elevated surface such as a stool?
ampecsu, that is a very good question. It could work as long as you clamped down on the stool. and somehow weigh down the stool to the ground. I guess you could also mount it to the ceiling of a garage, or a basketball net and bounce it off one of the walls. I might try those approaches.
When you make a hole and inserting the cable tie, does the hole go though the rubber inside the ball, or simply just a hole through the surface of the yellow cloth?
Milk Phongtharin, it goes through the rubber.
@@MakeItorBreakItNow Thanks a lot for a reply. Ic. I also tried to make it go through the rubber, to the level that the pop-up the ball pressure, but cannot really get the cable tie through. Maybe I need better tools and more patient :-D
@@pvmilk , I'm testing a newer easier version where you only make on hole and am also working on a $7 ball pressure can, look for these posts soon.
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.
Thanks 🙏

For the wooden dowel. Is the base diameter 7/8 inch or is it the length of the dowel.
The base is about 5 inches, I made a new version of the base for my pickleball rebounder that answers most of your questions. ua-cam.com/video/p0aGoCUwxcU/v-deo.html I'm going to update the tennis ball rebounder soon based on this new build.
7/8 inch dowel inch long.
sir nice video..may i know the actual size or diameter of the bunjee cord?
Nahum Jayme, thanks for the feedback. The bungee is 1/8 inch thick, and 15 to16 feet long you can shorten it by tying it off if you need to.
thank you sir!
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?
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...
Excelente!!!!
Alejandro Enriquez, mucho gracias.
nice job !
bogdan mitrea, thanks for the feedback.
My two half hitch knot on the ball keeps coming undone am I doing something wrong or is there another knot I can try

@@MakeItorBreakItNow thanks I'll try that once I set it up again this time my zip tie broke 😅
I’ve followed the instructions but the ball doesn’t seem to come back to me (it just goes out after I hit it and stops) is there any suggestions you can give me? We bought the right bunjee and everything but still no luck, any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.
Pale Guys Plays. Have you adjusted the length of the bungee cord, that seems to be one factor that helps out most people. Just a couple of inches can sometimes make a big difference.
Love it 👍

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.
good job!
Thanks watchdog517, much appreciated.
Does the pressure gets removed completely after making a hole in ball ? can we play well with punctured ball ?
i dont have any around to test but maybe use a pressureless ball...
This is great - is it possible to list an item list in the comments? Thanks
Jesslash, I walk through the items in the video, but since you asked I've added the other items. Thanks for the feedback.
I copied everything you did and I'm thinking maybe using thinner bungee cord. the ball doesn't bounce back well. maybe 1/16? thoughts
Sumner, some folks seem to favor the thinner cord, give it a shot, I used thinner cord on my pickleball rig and it worked out fine. You might also try shortening up the cord like I did in the video. to better customized it to your game and swing. Here's the pickleball video for reference: ua-cam.com/video/p0aGoCUwxcU/v-deo.html

Better option and more effective not to mention cheaper and practical is to find a wall to hit the ball to.
Fluky Review, thanks for your comment, wall ball works if you have one.
Is your E6000 glut industrial or crafting?
its the typical strong stuff, not the spray.
