Abstract: This invention relates to an automatic ball control apparatus readily connectable to a ball ejector barrel on a ball ejector machine to impart top spin to ejected tennis ball members. The automatic ball control apparatus includes a ball top spin actuator assembly in one embodiment which includes 1) a fixed extension sleeve assembly secured to an outer end of the ball ejector barrel; 2) a sliding actuator sleeve assembly mounted about the fixed extension sleeve assembly; and 3) a spin actuator paddle assembly pivotally connected to the sliding actuator sleeve assembly. The spin actuator paddle assembly includes a main support lever member which is periodically pivotable to contact and impart top spin motion to a contacting tennis ball member. A second embodiment includes a ball top spin actuator assembly including 1) a fixed extension sleeve assembly secured to an outer end of the ball ejector barrel; and 2) a spin actuator paddle assembly connected to the fixed extension sleeve assembly.
