I purchased this machine for my 11 yr old granddaughter. Her father got her started with it and she loves it. She lives about 2 blocks from the courts down a hill. With the wheels & handle, she can pull it up the hill without a problem.

Great ball machine. I only get to use it 3-4 hours a week, but it has already improved my game in the short time that I have owned it.

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite One Tennis Ball Machine - Fast FREE FedEx Shipping!:
I've own this machine for a month or so. Good machine so far to practice your backhands, forehands, drops, etc. The battery lasts a lot and charges overnight with the standard charger. I didn't get the fast charger nor the remote since I don't think it's necessary (at least not for me). One thing though, is that the horizontal feature sometimes sends the ball out of the playing lines and there's no way to adjust that. You have to lower the speed to get to all the balls on time, but if you move or run fast is not a big issue. On the heavy side if you have to take the machine in a vehicle but if you don't, you just roll it and it's fine. Make sure you vacuum it after every use to remove the tennis ball fibers since it gets a lot of it inside.

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite One Tennis Ball Machine - Fast FREE FedEx Shipping!:
The only problem I have found is that it is difficult to transport. It does not fit in the trunk of my car and it is difficult to carry because of the location of the moulded hand holds on the underside of the machine. There must be a better way.

I like the speed and topspin/underspin controls. It is very compact and easy to fold up and put in the trunk. Battery appears to last quite a long time.

Great machine. compact. Big wheels. Nice handle that fold. can easily fit in a honda accord trunk. Good battery. I use it for about 3hr and battery still good. No need to buy remote. You have enough time to get to the other side before balls is deliver.

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite One Tennis Ball Machine - Fast FREE FedEx Shipping!:
Great for practice, especially when you can't find a partner. A little on the heavy side (for a short, female), but I knew that before ordering. Buy the remote, it will save a lot time going back and forth to make adjustments and give you more practice time. All in all a good machine.
Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite One Tennis Ball Machine - Fast FREE FedEx Shipping!:
Machine is pretty easy to use. And to my surprise, the battery can run pretty long without recharge.
It can generate lower speed ball that even fit for kid at age 5.

[...]There is one thing that is kind bother me, the screw cap used to hold charge jack on control panel had gone when I opened box. So, each time when you try to plug in power line to do battery charging, the charge jack go inside control panel. Already called Lobster Inc, haven't got it yet.

The ball machine performs as described. It is easy to use, and it has helped me with a variety of strokes. I am very satisfied with it, and I have recommended it to a friend.
As you can guess from the pictures, it's clumsy to pick up and put into the car. It works perfectly when the tennis balls are dry, but it jammed when used on a damp court after a rain.
There was a problem with delivery of the quick charger. Mercantila handled the problem quickly.

Battery has outlasted me. I put it on high speed and it has been great.
Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite One Tennis Ball Machine - Fast FREE FedEx Shipping!:
The inability to narrow the sweep from a given distance is a major disadvantage. The remote is too limited for its cost. The inability to simulate serves is also a disadvantage. The portability is great.
If I had to replace the machine, I would try to find a machine that would address these disadvantages.

Easy to use machine with good battery life. I've used it for over 3 years and nothing has failed. Delivery of the balls is consistent, battery life is long, and it is light enough to easily transport from home to the court.
Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite One Tennis Ball Machine - Fast FREE FedEx Shipping!:
Great to carry it in the van and move it around, have it for practicing each stroke at a time.
Problem- some accelerated wear and tear at the contact with the surface.
Definitely get the extra charger which protects against overcharging.

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite One Tennis Ball Machine - Fast FREE FedEx Shipping!:
After a few minor problems at the beginng, which we quickly resolved with some friendly online help from the Lobster staff, it's been smooth sailing and easy use.
I use it during my summers in NJ, and compared to the $5000 plus machines used at our club in Florida, my personal Lobster is just flat-out terrific!
I'm very happy with this purchase, and have recommended it to friends who have bought the machine.
Yi-hah Lobster!!!!

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite One Tennis Ball Machine - Fast FREE FedEx Shipping!:
I'm lucky to live next to a tennis court. I've finally found a hitting partner. I've waited 5 years for the sights and sounds of a ball machine to help groove the strokes. I fill it three times, one forehand load of 150, one backhand of 150, and one oscillation of 150. The speed and feed work very well. The up/down is also very accurate. I really enjoy hitting volleys with it, too. I have only used it four times, but have thoroughly enjoyed the workouts. I love the oscillation because it will challenge to the point of exhuastion, and then eases up, and then picks it back up. The battery is excellent and the portability is easy. The 450 balls in a short time is the best ticket in town for me. I like it so much I'm about ready to name it. My daughter likes it because of the consistent speed and bounce and that you can choose not to oscillate. The beauty of this machine for me is that it teaches through repetition which helps remind me to think of execution of stroke, from body balance to follow thru, and then to prepare for the next shot (150) times. The machine wins, but it doesn't have good lateral movement. I really love trying to kick its tires, and maybe drill one right down its middle.

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite One Tennis Ball Machine - Fast FREE FedEx Shipping!:
Anyone who plays tennis knows how expense it can be if they desire to improve their game. With lessons, court time, the need for other players to play with at your level plus matching the times to play when they are available, this whole task can be very discouraging unless money is no concern. With the Loster, not only do I have a partner that doesn't make mistakes but everything I learned from my coach, I can practice rigorously until it becomes a habit. This I can not do with another player unless they just wanted to devote their time to helping me and a daily coach at $65 per hour and up can be OUTRAGEOUSLY expense. I play for two hours a day working on specific drills. With a coach, the money I spent on the machine would have only had covered me for just under two weeks of coaching. If I had to pay for court time, the money spent on this machine would have covered me for just under a month of play at a club. For anyone even remotely serious about tennis, if you do the math, I am sure you too will find that regardless of use, this is the most cost effective way to play and improve your tennis game. The Lobster was the most highly recommended machine for me as well. There are other options but what has made this so easy for me is how easy it is to get around with this machine. Other machines although only 25 pounds you must physically carry to the court which is a pain for anyone. Some have small wheels which in the end aren't very durable while the Lobster has large wheels, a long handle and is a VERY durable product.As far as the play, the oscillating, the different spins, the lobs, etc all make this as real as having a coach or partner. Some have complained about using topspin and it slowing down the rate at which the balls shoots out. You can speed up the machine but in the end, you don't want balls coming out too quickly after each other because you won't be able to simulate a real playing experience. It is better to practice as you would play. [...] A hopper is an obvious must and the charger that comes with the machine has been more than sufficient even as I play every day.I hope this helps. I love the machine so go out and have some fun and God Bless you! (John 3:16)

I am a 3.5 weekend warrior; not enough time or funds for pro training. The lobster allows my wife and I to practice when we have the time; work on new strokes with repetition.

Perfect for people who want to rally.
Great machine to get into or back into shape.
Perfect tutoring aid.
Once you carry it or roll it to where you need it, it is pure fun.
Battery lasted longer than they say in the manual.
80mph is faster than you think, and a whole lot of fun.

We are all really enjoying our new tennis ball machine. It is easy to use and we can adjust it easily to make it more challenging/easier, depending on who in the family is playing.

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite One Tennis Ball Machine - Fast FREE FedEx Shipping!:
It's a beautiful product. Performs as advertised, packed with features. My only cons with this product is the lack of heavy top-spin (the ball comes out really slow with a heavy spin) and the lack of some more options in terms of ball-feeding. But don't get me wrong, even though it's an expensive product, this is porbably the most action-packed ball machine in this price range. That, plus it's light weight, great portability and beautiful design makes it a great buy. I totally recommend it.
Ps: don't forget to get it with the remote. Trust me, it's a must have.
