I only did it a few times though, so perhaps you get used to it. I was just about able to react up to about 80ish mph. Once at 85, I could react but not really play any sort of shot. At 87-88, I could just see it as a blur, but not react . At 90, it was hitting the net behind me before I could register the ball had ejected the machine.
