The device is a Lobster Elite tennis ball machine, designed for tennis practice in a dedicated tennis facility. It is available in Elite One, Elite Two, and Elite Three models, each offering varying features.
The Lobster Elite tennis ball machine is designed to automatically feed tennis balls at adjustable speeds, intervals, and trajectories, allowing players to practice various shots. The machine is intended for use with conventional tennis balls only.
The control panel features various switches and knobs to manage machine functions.
Requires purchasing the Elite10 remote for Apple and having it installed in the machine.
Ball throw consistency depends on the consistency of the tennis balls used. New and old balls mixed will result in inconsistent throws. Pressureless balls provide the best results. Lobster recommends Tretorn Micro X balls. Damp or wet balls should never be used in the machine.
Lobster ball machines have two server wheels that throw tennis balls. These wheels will need replacement over the machine's lifespan, similar to car tires. Parts are available from lobstersports.com, and customers can replace them or send the machine to Lobster for maintenance. A tutorial video on server wheel replacement is available on the website's support section or the Lobster Sports YouTube channel.
