Does anyone know of any places from which you can hire Ball Machines for a day or afternoon, etc?

There are bowling machines at a few indoor centres I reckon. Jets centre at St Jays has one. SACA indoor centre has a couple from memory.
You'd probably have to pay net hire + something for the machine.
Don't know anywhere that would hire them out so you can take them out to your club if that's what you're thinking.

You can definitely hire one at the ICA at Morphett Vale, not sure on rates though.

My club is possibly looking into buying one, depending on how sponorship goes. Have noticed you can buy a Jugs one for about 4k, or a few cheaper versions for a little over 2k.
For those clubs that do have one, what would you suggest? Why the massive price difference? (i'll be honest in that I haven't bothered doing much research online yet..)

You will also have to consider how to get power to the machine, could be a problem. We had one but rarely use it, so we sold it.

We've been using a Spinball Sports from the US for the last season and a half. Had no worries with them at all and worked out to around $2000 delivered. I wouldn't recommend the balls though as they're a little too bouncy.
