Right John the things I put myself through to find out information for you. I have had to finish my training session with Boots walking to heel while Craig's pesky trialling spaniel (for next season) quarters the ground in front of us Shocked . I am sure you can imagine how much I enjoyed that blinkin thing dashing about like a loony Wink Very Happy .

He said you have to use the "red" blanks in the tennis ball adaptor plus there is a bit of an art Rolling Eyes to swinging your arm and releasing the balls at just the right moment to get them the optimum distance.

Thanks Jill. I use TR purple blanks, didn’t know that red ones existed. Not sure about the arm swinging thing, sounds like you have to actually be good at tennis for that! Shocked

I can picture the scene at your training today. I had a very similar experience yesterday on a couple of walked up drives. Confused

Thanks again.

John
