Playing with the Lobster Elite 3 is so much fun because it can send the ball anywhere on the court! It is a better workout than a person and it is more fun because the machine never tires out!

Tennis Is An Investment In Both Time And Money. When You Buy From Lobster Sports, You Purchase Peace Of Mind. That's The "Built For Life" Promise.

The Lobster Sports Elite is the only battery tennis ball machine that can live up to your expectations of high quality, durability, and innovation. In addition, Lobster Sports Elite machines are backed by the only 2-year warranty in the industry. Four Elite models are available: the Elite Freedom economy model, the Elite 1 base model, the Elite 2 with triple oscillation, and the Elite 3 with not only triple oscillation, but ground-breaking two-line functionality combined with triple oscillation — so effective, you might forget you're playing against a machine!

Want to make changes on the fly? An optional Two-Function Wireless Remote lets you control both the feed and the sweep from your side of the net. Other optional features include a Fast Charger and a Premium Fast Charger to fully recharge your machine in less time to get you back on the court as soon as you're ready to do so. Both chargers include a trickle charge feature to guarantee you'll never overcharge and damage your battery. You may also want to protect your investment from the elements, dust, and moisture with a heavy duty, lined Vinyl Cover.

Can you buy cheaper tennis ball machines from other companies? Yes, but they won't have the innovative features, performance, and durability found on the Lobster Sports Elite tennis ball machine models!

Show me a comparison of Lobster Sports battery model features.

Lobster Sports Elites Provide You Feature-Rich Benefits

Imagine turning on the Elite's sweep function and hitting 750 balls during the course of an hour. That workout will Improve Your Fitness Level and your overall conditioning, strengthen your footwork, and improve your game significantly. You'll have the time of your life while taking your skill set to the next level! That's a key philosophy of Lobster Sports and why we are in the business of selling tennis ball machines.

Lobster Sports Elites provide the following feature-rich benefits:

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.
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 4½-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.

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.

Who doesn't need new tennis balls? We're sending one lucky winner 90 Tretorn Pro-Lite tennis balls. Good luck!
