Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Two Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:

This is a machine that's very easy to use. The horizontal and vertical oscillation work very well, and it really improves my game. At the highest speed, and with max top spin, it's not too hard to hit a ball out of the machine but it's hard to control it. I highly recommend the Lobster Elite 2!

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Two Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:

My wife and I both use the machine. My wife has played tennis most of her life while I had never picked up a racket. Due to having kids at the house we alternate who watches the children while the other plays. My wife loved the machine. She claims had she used this when she was on her team should would have been alot better. As for me, I was looking for something different to use as a cardio exercise. Within the first few minutes I was sweating. As you can imagine my form was poor but the exercise I received from the machine was great. The cost is about what you would pay for a good treadmill or eliptical machine.

The machine is easy to use, quick to set up and having the option to send the ball all over the place is what we really enjoy about it.

The only con I can possibly think of is that it may be a little heavy for some people to pick up if they were transporting from an auto to the courts. If you live close to the courts or have one in your yard the handle makes moving almost effortless.

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Two Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:

I use my ball machine to develop new shots. During the last year, I changed from a 2 handed backhand to a 1 handed. Without the ball machine, it would have been a lot more difficult. The machine is easy to use and durable. The battery lasts a lot longer than I do. Excellent product. It met all of my expectations.

 
Functions Great better than Tennis Tutor
By GilnetVerified Purchaser from Clearwater, Florida on 11/19/2008

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Two Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:

I had a competitor machine. It worked O.K. but had problems with ball jams. The Lobster appears to be better engineered and the adjustments and controls are easy to use. However, I am experiencing a problem with the charging circuit. The LED light circuit showing the charging status is defective and there appears to be a bad connection. Also, while I like the overall design, it is cumbersome to lift because it does not have a handle. It also takes up more storage space than the competitor which was flatter. With every machine there have to be compromises, and I think over-all, the Lobster has made the right design choices.

I am a 67 year old tennis novice and have only been playing for a couple of years. The ball machine has given me the intense practice I need to get my skill level up quickly to that of my peers.

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Two Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:

This is the best machine. Makes you run all around, it's epic. Problem with it is... it's loud. Lobster engineer's, make this thing more quiet and you'll dominate the market. I bought the tennis tutor plus extra expensive machine to cover for this one. I still like my lobster machine better, but that stupid noise drives me nuts, and more importantly the people around me on other courts.

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Two Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:

I've had this product for over a month now, and the original factory-juiced battery power is still good! While the elevation and oscillation controls can be unpredictable at times, once you set them, the ball is pretty much consistent. I get a great workout using this machine, although I have yet to see my game improve as a result!

Extremely Dissapointed

Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Two Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:

I got the machine today, and I'm very dissapointed. The first thing I noticed was that although the machine claims to be made in the U.S.A, the motors are clearly stamped "China". After charging the machine and turning it on, I noticed that the bottom thrower wheel rubs against the red plastic housing when adjusting the elevation, and immediately shuts down the machine causing an error code. Lastly, the remote doesn't work at all. Followed all the troubleshooting tips - even took the machine apart, and no luck. Their website claims each machine goes through an extensive quality control test. The tester apparently didn't test the remote or the elevator control. Will call for a refund.

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Two Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:

It has very good performance for the price and works well. My only problem with it is that you have to treat it carefully with no drops - not always an easy thing to do when hoisting it in and out of a car or it will break for certain

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Two Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:

This product met or exceeded my expectations. The only fault I could find is that that all the balls in the bin do not fully empty into the machine. There are usually about three left - no big deal. This is a fun toy for daddy to play with the kids. They love to go out in the yard and try to catch the very high lobs.

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Two Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:

This unit is not built very well. Hard to move around and handle not very sturdy. I have tried new balls and old balls and also pressure less balls and the unit is very inconsistent. It seems to tear the balls up rather quickly. Our club ha s a Playmate unit that works great. Don’t buy the Lobster get the Playmate.

This is a pretty good machine. It takes a while to get the adjustments set as you want them. The battery isn't as good as advertised, has a relatively short life, and does not take very many charges.

Terrific Ball Machine

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Two Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:

Great ball machine. I've owned a ball machine in the past from another company and this was far superior. It really works well. I have two criticisms though. Firstly, picking up the machine is a hassle as it doesn't really have a handle to lift it other than 2 gripping contours under the machine. This means that in order to lift it up stairs for instance it you have to bend all the way down to the ground to pick it up, which could very easily cause you to injure your back lifting 44 lbs. from this position. In addition, the instruction manual was woefully inadequate in many ways and caused me to waste quite a bit of time figuring out how to use all of the functions. Otherwise its an exceptional product.

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Two Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:

Easy to use, works great and very consistent feeds. It is way more compact than I expected, but if you can't lift the 50 pound base off the ground you will need 2 people to put it in the car. Top mph and spins provide plenty of difficulty for me and I play 4.0-4.5. Random vertical and horizontal feeds super accurate and will wear you out in no time. Once out of the car it is super mobile and light. Turning feed off when hopper empty during pickup time keeps battery life long.

Excellent Product raised my game!
By Chris the tennis fanaticVerified Purchaser from Atlanta, GA on 4/14/2008

Cons:

Describe Yourself:

Bottom Line:

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Two Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:

The product is reliable, consistent, and easy to use and transport. I have used it for 2 hours a day continuously almost every day for 9 mos now and it has never quit on me. Without this machine I could not have made the changes to advanced grips and strokes. It has been key to drastically improving my technique which has resulted in my moving from a 3.0 to a 3.5 NRTP playing level in the city leagues.
The only minor criticism I can come up with is that the elevation control button requires a little too much trial and error. It would be better if that button were changed to a numbered dial like the other controls on the machine so you could set it to a specific setting quickly without having to adjust by eye as several balls are shot out. But that is very minor thing which could be improved. Everything else is perfect! The machine performs like the first day I bought it after being used for 2-3 hours continuously for at least 5 days a week. It has never broken once - this is huge for me as previous machines I've purchased from other vendors spent more time in the shop getting repaired than on the court. This machine is the perfect hitting partner and has been the key to enabling me to make the necessary grip and stroke technique changes to play the modern game.

I use it for forhand and backhand rountine ground stroke, also volley and smash. Terrific performance! Good for non-pros to improve skills without coach. Even though a little heavy, I think it the best I can get.
