could be THE TENNIS game at some point

Physics are incredible. By far the best of all the tennis games I’ve played. This is the game for former and current players. However, this isn’t really a game yet. Without an AI mode, this will get old fast. Mirror is a neat gimmick but doesn’t have sustained usability. I hope you develop this fully because it could be the tennis version of “ELEVEN“

Physics approach almost hits the mark!

This is clearly a serious physics based approach to VR tennis after playing and checking out the website. Some thoughts on initial demo play below. Pros Physics is sports simulations best friend and this attempt is a very promising start. The marker on the racket where you hit the ball is a nice touch and the spin application is also very welcome. I'm sure over time you will get used to the feel and mechanics more. In general it felt pretty accurate and responsive to start with. It's got the underlying mechanics of a very nice game and simulation. I look forward to seeing how it develops. Issues The email sign up at the start is a bit annoying, having to go back to your email account for a code. Although by far the biggest frustration is a lack of noise when you use the pointer and click to type on the keyboard. With my password disguised it took multiple attempts for characters to register accurately twice. A simple noise to confirm selection on the virtual keyboard will solve this. A marker on the court for your central spot or perfect positon will help keep you in position in particular with smaller play spaces. The sound of the ball bouncing is perfect. The sound of hitting is horrible. It doesn't sound like ball on strings. Just a squishy weird sound. It's part of the immersion and should be accurate. Forehands may need to be adapted on quest 2 as it loses tracking for me at times as it does on another tennis game. This is a quest issue, not the game. The need for an AI opponent to rally with is real. Great start for a free demo. I will update to 5 stars once a few things are ironed out. Thanks for developing.

Enjoying it so far

I echo many of the comments here: the game is *great*. The graphics and swing motion are nice, and as a 3.5 rec player, I'm using it to help me train in the winter/off-season. As with anything though, there's room for some improvements. * The need to sign up and confirm your email before you play is difficult. Also, I had a problem with the verification code note coming through, and it took me ~3 tries to get it right. * Similarly, having to login every time you play seems unnecessary. * The ball feeds take a few seconds too long. Consider shortening this up. * It seems as if the feeds may be off, too. In intermediate and advanced modes, I find that I have to stand to the very left of my guardian space to connect with the ball. * In addition to the above, when the game loads I'm right behind the baseline but when the ball feed starts I find that I'm like 6-7 feet behind the BL. * In mirror mode, the ball machine and the status bar thing (I don't know what you call it), is in the way of play. Can you move those over to the side more? * Besides adding an AI to hit with as others have noted, how about some more training modules? The advanced volley drills are great but I would *love* to see volley training. Same thing with serve training. Teach me how to hit a kick serve! * Lastly: One thing almost every friend of mine who I've talked with this about has asked if it could help you add topspin. Help us add ts so we can blow our opponents away in the spring. :) Thanks again for a great game. Can't wait to see it improve and improve!

This is real tennis !

Tennis eSports are serious about their tennis. This is not a game as such, it's a tennis simulation and has mega accurate physics with no leniency. There are some great training exercises to hone your game and a really fun mirror play feature where you play both sides of the court. Multi player is also available and will come into it's own when the player base increases. Tennis eSports works with real tennis clubs and organisations and as such are really expanding the scope of tennis in virtual reality. The software will keep getting better and better. A must do experience for all tennis players with VR headsets

Has potential

Need a player option menu. Example left hand player. Ai player option would be nice. Also wait is too long between serves.
