What does it train?
The bin shot challenge trains your shot accuracy in a small area. We recommend a junior racket of 23 inches or below which is lighter and smaller for best performance in small areas and preventing from breaking things at home. Also you can choose a pressureless learning ball as it is softer and with less bounce.
