Lobster Elite Two with 10-Function Remote Control
Description
The Lobster Elite Model 2 offers everything the Elite Model 1 does with one amazing difference - a triple oscillation feature. While almost all machines sweep randomly from left to right, the Elite 2 oscillates vertically, giving you short or deep shots in a random pattern. For even more realistic play time, combine both vertical and horizontal oscillation functions to throw balls throughout the entire court– left, right, short, and deep. The Elite 2 is the machine that will challenge all aspects of your game, not just groundstrokes. The Lobster Elite 2 also features up to 50 degree lobs to practice your overheads, speeds up to 80 miles per hour to improve your reaction time, and heavy top or back spin for practicing returns. The Elite 2 is fully equipped to challenge all of your strokes, improve your reaction time, and advance your foot speed agility. With the triple oscillation feature, the Lobster Elite 2 is a great buy for a minimal increase of cost over the Elite Model 1.
Battery included.
If you think your game will benefit from better oscillation features, find out more about the Elite Three model. For more information about Ball Machines or Tennis Balls, check out our Tennis Express Buyer`s Guide!

Lobster Elite 2 Ball Machine
4/5
The machine performs as advertized. The design should be improved to ease rolling down steps and for lifting in and out of the car. The electronic controls are 1960's technology and are in serious need of updating, e.g. fully-programmable touchpad controls. It should not be necessary to ship the 44 lb machine back to the mfg to add a simple control function when all the mechanical requirements for that function are already built into the machine.

The instruction booklet is very brief. I felt that the directions could have been more explicit especially for adding the remote package and for operating the machine. There should be instruction for setting up different programs to work out with the ball machine.

Difficult to use to perform simple ball feeding
1/5
I have used a Lobster portable ball machine and a Playmate ball machine for 2 and 5 years, respectively, both personally and with a school tennis team.
The Lobster has complicated touch button controls instead of dials, knobs, and switches located on the back red part of the machine. Absent a remote control, you have to get on your hands and knees to access the controls. And worse, its difficult to get the machine to produce the desired result from the touch controls: 1 the big problem is that you must pause the machine, 2 then you hit the menu button, then hit up/down keys, 3 you turn it back on to see if you get the result you want. Often not. For example, add some spin/speed and balls may shoot off the court. So you have to start the whole process over again trial and error until you get a useable result.
Contrast this with the Playmates simple dials, knobs, and switches which you can adjust as it shoots balls. It may not sound flashy, but its much easier to get a desired re

Lobster Elite 2 ball machine
5/5
Although just recently purchased and used only once since it came out of the box it operates just as I hoped. So far so good. The controls are easy to adjust and once adjusted correctly it ran like a champ. Probably better to regularly assess and review its performance, durability, and maintenance but I am very satisfied thus far. The staff was also very helpful in keeping me advised as to order and shipping status during the run-up to delivery.
