Elite Series and Grand Series Battery Ball Machines
The Elite Series line of battery ball machines was designed from its inception to fulfill two market needs – a ball
machine that challenges all levels of play, not just beginners and a ball machine that will reflect our commitment
to quality products. Most battery ball machines have batteries that last 1-2 hours. This fact leads manufacturers to
get away with building poor quality machines. The Elite Series was developed to be durable first and a better mouse
trap second.
The Elite’s standard battery provides the player with 4-8 hours of court time with an ergonomically designed folding
handle and oversized wheels that allow for easy transportation with a full hopper over any surface, even steps.
Also, the Elite’s 80 mph groundstrokes, full corner-to-corner random oscillation, unrivaled, sky-high lobs and heavy
topspin and backspin will test advanced players to beginners alike. By challenging such a wide range of players from
small children, beginners, to advanced players, and professional instructors the Lobster Elite Series and Grand
Series will continually challenge any player as their game grows.
The Elite & Grand Series Advantage
The Lobster Sports Elite Series models are a revolution in battery-powered tennis ball machines. Our team of
mechanical, industrial and electrical engineers continue to enhance our patent-pending designs to eliminate the
competition. Here's how.
-
Programmability: The Grand V and Grand V LE allow you to program your own custom court drills and store them in
memory, a feature not found on any other portable tennis ball machines.
-
Fully Random: The Grand IV, Grand V, and Grand V LE provide unrivalled match play simulation by incorporating full
random oscillation, while mixing up both the speed and the spin.
-
Pre-Programmed Drills: Preparing you to play the competition, the Grand IV is equipped with six pre-programmed
six-shot drills simulating the most popular styles of play, while the Grand V and Grand V LE include six additional
drills for maximum performance development.
-
True corner-to-corner oscillation: The Elite 2 with its unsurpassed triple-oscillation will keep you on the move as
balls are thrown 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 20 mph. Other machines top out at 65 mph and offer a minimum speed, which may be unsuitable
for the smallest family members and beginners. See how the economic Elite Freedom and Elite 1 base model delivers
the ball compared to the competition.
-
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.
-
Incredible 18 shot programmable control panel: With the Elite Grand V LE you can customize your own court drills -
up to 18 shot locations, speed, spin, and feed rate too.
-
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
36-44 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 4 ½-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 Series 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.
-
Multi-function wireless remote: The Elite Grand IV and Grand V have an optional 20-function wireless remote that
allows you to enjoy instantaneous changes in functionality like: play/pause, oscillation sweep, fully random,
3-line, speed, feed, spin, and much more.
-
Smartphone remote: The Grand Series and Phenom Series machines are compatible with the iPhone and Android remote
control systems allowing you to use your smartphone to operate your ball machine.
-
Two-function wireless remote: With the Elite 1, Elite 2, & Elite 3 you can 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.
