The Lobster Elite is a very versatile tennis ball machine that has many functions. The Lobster includes a two-line function and a three mode oscillation function. Beginners shouldn't use this machine as it's geared more towards players that training for competitions. The machine can train multiple people.
There are pre-programmed options that allow the player to hit narrow and wide forehands as well as backhands. The wide and narrow function will allow the player to improve on range and agility. The speed of the tennis ball can go up to 80 MPH.
There are three types of oscillations pre-programmed in the Elite Three. There is a two-line feature that feeds balls at different depths (wide, narrow). Most ball machines on the market do not have this function. The lobster comes with a wireless remote so that the user can change the program options on the fly.
The types of shots that you will experience from the machine will closely simulate a tennis match. The realistic feel of the feeds are due to balls that are fed at a narrow and wide range as well as balls being feed from left to right. The oscillating balls are random and fed in 6 different spots on the court. The ball also is lobbed at a 50 degree angle at various speeds. The lobs are also fed at random locations on the court and can have various types of top spin and back spin.
The battery life is above average on the Lobster and you can play from 4-8 hours on one charge. The ball capacity is normal among the industry standard and can hold up to 150 balls. The weight is lighter than most battery powered tennis ball machines and can be toted by one person. The Lobster Elite weighs approximately 44 lbs. This ball machine is recommended for players who are intermediate-advanced and is targeted towards players who play competitively or in tournaments.
