Product Overview
The Rally Master Backboard is a professional tennis (and multi-sport) training wall built from solid-core, dense UV-stabilized plastic panels, 10 feet high and 3/4-inch thick. Color is molded into each green panel along with a built-in white net line, and custom colors or engraving are available. Panels are manufactured in 10 ft x 4 ft sections, with a minimum purchase size of 10' x 12' and standard widths of 12', 16', and 20' — total length must be divisible by four feet.
Patent-pending polyethylene sound dampeners and a special mounting method reduce noise and vibration, making ball impact quieter than dribbling a basketball on asphalt. Panels attach to four horizontal mounting brackets made from 12-gauge galvanized steel, connected to vertical posts with stainless steel hardware, while the bottom panel support is powder-coated aluminum for corrosion resistance.
Rally Master backboards are available in Flat (Vertical) or 8-degree Back-sloped configurations. Vertical models extend only 4 to 6 inches inside the court fence and are best for stroke work, while the back-sloped version returns the ball with a slight loft for more preparation time. They typically mount on tennis courts with round pipe fitting standard fence post diameters of 2-1/2, 3, or 4 inches with a maximum 10-foot post spacing, though free-standing or block-wall installation is also possible; back-sloped models use aluminum columns. The backboard is backed by a 20-year warranty.
