Looking To Improve Your Game & Fitness?

The Elite Freedom, economy model and the Elite 1 base model are an industry standard amongst battery operated portable tennis ball machines. These machines are equipped with horizontal oscillation which allows the machine to throw balls randomly from left-to-right and right-to-left across the court delivering shots to both your forehand and backhand. For those looking to master shots with spin, the Elite 1 provides the most enhanced spin control of any machine in its range.

Horizontal Oscillation

Looking For a Workhorse with Advanced Features?

Lobster Sport's patented triple-oscillation assembly on the Elite 2 & Elite 3 provides for both random horizontal oscillation and random vertical oscillation to occur simultaneously (at a fixed speed). This incredible feature allows the machine to throw balls randomly throughout the entire spectrum of the singles court. From left-to-right, as well as, from short-to-deep, triple-oscillation is designed to simulate true match play.

Triple Oscillation

Looking to master your forehand and backhand ground strokes? The Elite 3, Grand IV, Grand V, and Grand V LE are equipped with 2-line oscillation. 2-line oscillation refers to a specific setting on the machine that allows the machine to throw balls to two designated points or lines for alternating forehand and backhand ground strokes. Choose from up to three positions, narrow, medium, and wide for maximum development of your ground strokes. Select a wider setting to incorporate additional foot work that will challenge even the best of players.

2-Line Oscillation

Looking For the Latest in Ball Machine Technology?

The Elite Grand Series, Grand IV, Grand V, and Grand V LE offer Fully Random oscillation. Like its triple-oscillation counterpart, the Fully Random oscillation program will allow the machine to throw balls throughout the entire spectrum of the singles court. However, using the latest in ball machine technology, the Fully Random program allows for the machine to randomly mix both the ball speed and ball spin, along with location to simulate true match play. This feature is so cutting-edge you will forget you are playing against a ball machine.

Fully Random Oscillation

In addition to the state-of-the-art Fully Random oscillation program, the Grand Series feature pre-programmed court drills preparing you to play against the competition. The Grand IV is equipped with six pre-programmed six shot drills simulating the most popular styles of play, while the Grand V and Grand V LE include six additional exercise drills for maximum performance development.

Defining "Portable" Tennis Ball Machines

Most tennis ball machine manufacturers toss around the phrase "portable ball machines" to describe any machine that runs off batteries, regardless of weight, battery capacity, or ease of transport. All Elite Series machines are equipped with an ergonomic 3-foot folding handle for ease in transport. By pulling the machine back with the handle, allowing the two 8-inch transport wheels to touch the ground, the Elite Series machines have a built-in hand-truck or dolly design allowing even the youngest of players the ability to move the machine easily. With its reversible hopper and folding handle the Elite Series machines can fit into the trunk of a compact car or be stored in limited spaces.

Lobster Sports Tennis Ball Machines May Be Used To Hone Your Skills In Baseball, Lacrosse, Field Hockey, And Football!

Using Your Tennis Ball Machine as a Baseball Pitching Machine

Your Lobster Sports tennis ball machine makes an ideal baseball pitching machine, using tennis balls to practice hand-eye coordination skills. It is excellent for baseball batting practice, grounders, pop-flies, and catcher-blocking drills. Due to the fact that they are facing a tennis ball, batters are more likely to step into the pitch unafraid, and transfer that skill when facing a high-speed baseball or softball. Our machines can be set to pitch the ball accurately to the identical spot, time after time. Our 150-ball hopper allows the batter to get in hundreds of swings per hour without causing wear and tear on a pitcher's arm.

Using Your Tennis Ball Machine for Lacrosse and Field Hockey

Goal tending in both lacrosse and field hockey takes practice to develop. Rather than needing another player to drill with, use one of our Lobster Sports models that provides dual oscillation. The goalie can practice dives and saves in order to develop automatic responsiveness in game situations.

Using Your Tennis Ball Machine for Football

Have your receivers use a Lobster Sports tennis ball machine to develop soft hands. If a receiver can learn to catch a small tennis ball on the run, catching a football will be much easier. The result? More touchdowns!
