I am 70 years old and have been playing competitive tennis since age 12. I have my own court and am in the process of teaching my 8 year old triplets how to play. I had an old machine(little prince) for many years but it finally died. after reviewing many machines I talked to lobster sports and decided that this machine would be just what I needed as my playing has slowed down. now if I get 1 hour every other day in it is great for me. all the features of this machine out number the old one and it is a great machine for what I need. If you what a little more features go up one level. only negative I have found is that the handle you wheel it with feels flimsey and is not solid when locked in.

I'm a tennis coach and wanted something to help reduce my arm feeding time during clinics and still provide quality practice. This machine does that.
The only problem I've experienced is making quick adjustments between various exercises I teach.

At times it shoots the ball inconsistantly. It could be the balls I am using but that is the only draw back. This machine has improved my game.

The Lobster Elite Freedom Tennis Ball Machine is very easy to use. It's light weight, and the adjustments on both the speed and oscillator give many options for the user, depending on your expertise. I am very satisified with this product.
Delivery of the product was prompt and arrived sooner than expected. The machine was in excellent condition upon arrival, and was already charged and ready for use!

We are still in the process of evaluating the product
Yes, I would like to comment on the company - we ordered our first Lobster Elite and after about one week it quit taking a charge - it had been about a month or two since we had purchased it because we didn't open it immediately when we received it - Lobster replaced the whole machine and paid for all shipping charges and we already have the new one.

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Freedom Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:
This is my first ball machine and I have found it to be excellent. I have used this for many hours in the past year and have never had a ball jam.
From a settings standpoint, you can't use the top speed. The reason is that the ball trajectory angle places the ball to far beyond the baseline, even if you back up the machine a good 10 feet or more. I am not sure why this is the case. Setting at the speed just less than the highest is still very good for practice, and with the sweep on, it is a great workout both for footwork and hitting.

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Freedom Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:
The Lobster Elite is a terrific machine for those who are seriously interested in improving their play. It's highly portable, has a long battery life and it is easily adjusted for speed, frequency of balls, height and random ball placement. It lacks only the ability to apply different types of spin, but that is a small disadvantage given its affordable cost.

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Freedom Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:
Right out of the box, the Lobster Elite Freedom had issues. Its feed knob doesn't work, consequently balls are fired so fast I can't even take my racquet back for a swing. A call to service number resulted in a long wait then I was cut off. Tried again but gave up and modified by taping two of the four feed holes closed.

I am using this product to become more consistent with my strokes. It's also great to be able to practice overheads. Sometimes I use it on sweep and warm up with a friend before a game.

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Freedom Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:
1. 2 - 3 balls get stuck at the back of the feeder - poor design.
2. The charger comes with warnings not to charge more than 12 hours. A hetter designed charger would switch itself off when charge is complete

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Freedom Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:
Great for me (70) and for the grandchildren (7 - 10)
Major criticism is the charger. The standard charger does not work as specified - the light goes on and stays on. The documentation says "DO NOT CHARGE FOR MORE THAN 36 HOURS" - or you will damage the thing. Then it says "You really should have bought the fast charger (costs extra) which handles this problem" I don't like that and worry that I will charge it overnight and then forget it and blow its battery.

My only complaint is that when placed at the baseline, the lobs are too deep unless speed is at minimum, then they are too short.

from Bergen County on 6/5/2008
Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Freedom Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:
The only issue I see with the machine is that to get decent ball speed and keep ball in the court, I have to place the machine well behind the baseline. BUT, once I turn on the random oscillating function (side-to-side) then the ball goes way too wide (I have to get it much closer and much less speed). IT WOULD BE NICE IF ALL FUNCTIONS WOULD WORK FROM THE SAME SPOT AT THE SAME SPEED. I use it for drills, so I barely use oscillating function, so not a big issue for me.

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Freedom Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:
This is the best little machine. I've had time to use it only a few times so far, but already I have developed a convenient pattern for charging it, lifting it into the trunk, getting the balls and hopper and machine onto the court, and setting it up. I'm 62 years old and bought this for myself as my retirement-from-teaching gift. It's really fun, and I just love it that when I want to play I don't have to wait for "next Tuesday at 4:00" or whatever. I stick it in the trunk and go. I usually hit about 500 balls each time out, and already I feel more confident about my strokes. It's great exercise. I love the way it waits until you walk to the other side before shooting balls at you.

Comments about Lobster Lobster Elite Freedom Tennis Ball Machine - FREE FedEx Shipping!:
[...]I have been using this for about 7 months now. It works great and has never jammed. I do find problems in setting at the highest setting and keeping the ball in court. Typically I have to move the machine further from the baseline to make this work. I use this machine every 1-2 weeks and it has been very reliable.

adjustable power or strength and speed is the best feature of this machine, good for a beginner , my 6 and 5 years old kids just love it. And my husband never had a problem finding or calling friends to play with him anymore as he can play with the machine anytime that's convenient for him.
