Need a tennis ball machine for a club, school, or camp? Read about how the Lobster Sports Electric Line is a workhorse that stands up to the wear and tear you need in a tennis ball machine.

The Lobster Sports Elite models are designed to be the best tennis ball machines on the market!

The Lobster Sports Elite models are a revolution in battery-powered tennis ball machines. Our team of mechanical, industrial, and electrical engineers continue to enhance our patent-pending designs to eliminate the competition. Here's how.

  • True corner-to-corner oscillation: The Elite 2 adds triple oscillation, throwing balls throughout the entire court. The Elite 3 adds a two-line setting for unequalled match play incorporating varying depths while practicing forehands, backhands, lobs, and volleys. A built-in indicator ensures balls actually hit the corners, simulating true match play.
  • Fastest and slowest speed: Elites can deliver at 80 miles per hour (that's 10-15% faster than the competition) or be reduced to as little as 10 mph. Other machines top out at 65 mph and offer a minimum 30 mph, which is totally unsuitable for the smallest family members and beginners.
  • Heaviest spin: A top spin designed to bounce to a string-breaking shoulder-height and a slice that'll challenge you like a touring pro. Mastery of top and back spins is what separates the average player from a champion!
  • 50 and 60 degree lobs: Our powerful overhead lobs are twice as high as other ball machines that typically are 30 degrees or less. Professionals skilled at lobs dominate the court. Master this little-practiced stroke.
  • Six spot random sweep: Be challenged by a sweep that strikes an unparalleled random six spots on the court. Many competitors' ball machines are limited to three or four spots.

    Ball Machine Random Sweep

  • Extreme portability: Our Elite models transport over all surfaces, including stairs, gravel, and grass, without easily tipping over. Compare our 8-inch wheels to our competitor's 1-inch castors or machines that must be placed on their sides to roll, as well as our ergonomically designed 3-foot handle to their 6-inch handles. Easily manage our 42-44 pounds machines that fit easily in the trunk, making it a single trip from the car to the court.
  • Single long-life large battery: The competition's 2 smaller batteries can't match our 4 ½-hour to 8-hour play time before recharging. The Elite won't quit before you're ready to stop!
  • Unique ball capacity viewer: A ball capacity viewer enables you to see, from your side of the net, when to reload the hopper. This is a feature unique to Lobster Sports Elite tennis ball machines.
  • Reversible hopper: Reverse the hopper to cover the Elite for easy storage or to enable you to transport it in your car.
  • Two-function wireless remote: Control both the feed and the sweep using an optional two-function wireless remote, available with initial purchase as well as an upgrade at any time.

The benefits of practicing with a Lobster Sports Elite tennis ball machine are many!

  • Spend valuable court time playing against an unrelenting professional workout partner who never misses, never tires, and is always available.
  • Enjoy a fun fitness workout with family and friends of all ages and playing abilities.
  • Drill specific shots and techniques to improve your game. This achieves muscle memory in order to automatically react, shaving precious seconds off a delayed response. This is how to truly get into a groove!

The Elite 2 and Elite 3 triple oscillation feature helps develop footwork, anticipation skills, and reaction times, as it drills all tennis strokes throughout the entire court.
  • Make a wise investment in proven quality and durability from a company manufacturing the best ball machines on the market since 1970.
  • Use your Lobster ball machine as a pitching machine for baseball and football, as well as improve your hand-eye coordination and goal tending skills for lacrosse and field hockey.

Does the 2 Year Warranty Really Matter?

Why would one company offer a two-year warranty and another company offer a 1 year warranty? Lobster has so much confidence in its products that it can afford to offer a 2 year warranty. Ask yourself why our competition doesn't have equal confidence in the durability of its products.

When comparing purchase prices between machines, you should consider the two year warranty carefully. The cost of ownership will quickly rise if the machine breaks down soon after the warranty expires. Imagine owning a machine for 14 months, it malfunctions and now you are out $50 to ship it to the factory at least $100-$200 to fix it and $50 to ship it home. A $300 repair bill might make you think twice about the true cost of purchasing that 1 year warranty machine.

Finally, consider that Lobster Sports, Inc has been in business for 37 years – that means we were in business for 20 years before our competition even considered opening its doors. Quality isn't some new found commitment, it is part of who we are and have been for generations. When you buy a Lobster ball machine, you purchase peace of mind because you know you have bought a product built for life.
