    Tennis Ball Machine which one is fastest mph/spin. Can it be hacked for faster speed.

    After extensive research, I invested in what I felt was the most feature rich, programmable ball machine available in 2010. The machine exceeded my expectations in practically every category, manner. There have been no mechanical, electrical, battery, remote or reliability issues. From what I've...

    Most reliable ball machine for clay/har-tru?

    I've got a Lobster Grand Elite and I'm pretty sure the "speed" setting can be cranked up to 95mph (shown on the digital lcd screen & iphone/iwatch remotes). And I believe it! I've had my machine almost 8 years now. I'm a 4.0-4.5 player and I almost never program/set the speed beyond 65mph...

    Ball Machine Recommendations

    Can't say enough, or over-recommend the benefits of investing in a feature rich ball machine with advanced remote control!!! I researched all the various machines and companies for years. I was'nt sure which ball machine "feature/function/option or ability" was going to be important, crucial or...

    Question - Lobster Elite 5

    When calibrating......many factors can influence and require adjustments. I would'nt fret too much over needing to adjust, nor would I spend too much time trying to get ball to hit the T perfectly or even real close. Some of the factors that will effect the test calibration shot: Wind...

    First time poster, ball machine related

    You will be gobsmacked over how quick/fast your backhand improves (excels) after hitting against a good ball machine!! And can add/adjust/change/implement MULTIPLE variations or "nuances" of backhand strokes, grips, shots, spin, etc. - FAST! I'm not kidding. You can...
