Review: Solid, Pleased (so far) - In the interest of being clear and helpful, I recommend that everyone who contributes a review cover as a minimum all the numbered information below. (My answers are in parenthesis.) Tennis level (I am 46 and played Division 1 tennis) Balls used (I tried Gamma Pressureless, and was very disappointed. I moved to regular pressured balls, and so far have been happy with their performance) Length of time used (I've used it now for about 4 weeks, at least 2x/week) Machine Type (Elite 1) Battery Care (Did you overcharge your battery, by charging it overnight/more than 24 hours? If so, you ruined your battery's life. I did not.) How I am using it (I am not traveling with it, so no picking up and loading into car. I would not want to do that with this machine, and thankfully I roll it out and down to the court.) Type of court (Red Clay) So far, I am very pleased with this machine. I will update this review if anything I write in it changes. It has proven to be reliable, and arrived fully charged and ready to use. The wheels work well and seem sturdy, although even bigger ones would be nice. I did not get the remote, and while it would be nice, it is certainly not essential for use (and I have no plans to buy one). I have found one setting with speed and distance and spin that I have been hitting cross court ground strokes with only. It delivers a consistent ball. While it can hold 150 balls,, but if you are going to roll with it and tilt it at the appropriate angle to get it moving, I am only able to keep about 40 balls in the basin (the others are in the hopper), otherwise they are going to spill out of the basin. I have found that using an air compressor after 4 weeks of use was helpful to remove the dirt and accumulation of fuzz from the balls. I will continue to use that every few weeks. As I mentioned in the intro. I bought Gamma Pressureless balls because Lobster recommends using pressureless. The Gamma batch of balls I received was poor and I sent them back. In their place, I put all the balls I've played with since the start of 2017, and had a much more consistent bounce and delivery. I called Lobster to inquire deeper into the pressureless recommendation: it's NOT for the well being of the machine, but rather for the consumer. In other words, Lobster believes that pressured balls will go dead within 1-3 months time, and they don't want consumers to be annoyed that they have to replace the balls so often. They reported that pressureless might last up to 6 months. I'm going to go with the used pressured balls and see how it goes, as it's going well so far. With about 85 balls, I estimate the machine can go about 10-12 times before the battery dies. That's not very impressive for me, as I'm turning it off during the ball collection period. The charge time can be anywhere from 3-8 hours, depending on how dead the battery is. That seems good to me. Overall, I'm happy with it. To be able to practice tennis strokes, and have a reliable machine to do it with, is a luxury. Why didn't I think of this earlier?
Review: Excellent service and excellent machine - I am very happy for the great service provided by Lobster. When I received the ball machine, a small defect was found on the handle missing a lock switch. After I contact them, they immediately agreed to send me a new one for replacement. Since I am not confident on install the handle by myself, I ask if I could get a new machine for replacement and sen the initial one back free of charge. They immediately initiated the process by send me the pre-paid mailing label . I then received a new machine soon. Both my son and myself are very excited about the machine. I am very satisfied on the service I got and will write a review on the performance of the machine after using it soon. It has been more than a month now since we used the machine. It works great. Both my son and I enjoyed a Lott. It meets all aspects I expect. It last about 2-3 hour after each charge which allows plenty of time for practice. Very convenient and easy to use it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why balls get stuck and then the machine turns off...?**
A: The machines are designed to shut down automatically when an issue is detected to protect the machine.  If and when this occurs, there will be a green flashing light sequence on the control panel indicating the issue.  This "error message" is like a check engine light or dashboard illumination light on your car directing you to the specific issue.

**Q: Did any of you try the Lobster Sports Elite Freedom? I'm wondering if the $100 difference is worth it.  Thanks!**
A: The only difference is this one does topspin, flat, and backspin. The other only does flat. So really is your call on if it's worth it to you personally

**Q: I dont understand when you say sweeping triple oscillation. What does that mean?**
A: Call them at 800-210-5992 (Toll-Free).  They are very responsive.  The manual details what to do to set up a triple.  I am happy with my machine but the battery only lasts me a year and the remote fob barely works. Hope this helps.

**Q: Can anyone tell me if they have used this consistently on indoor clay courts? Does it hold up well?**
A: I have not used on clay court but since it is a machine designed just to just throw balls without wiping the clay or dirt stuck up on the balls, so there is possibility of it not working as it should if the clay sticks onto the balls. Apart from that issue I don't see any reason why it should not work on a clay court.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ As good as advertized, but not excellent
*by M***D on June 17, 2018*

I have bought it a month and a half back, together with a $100 trickle charger and 96 pressureless balls. Have use it since eight times. Good: Does everything as it is supposed to. I have had great workouts, and even after eight sessions consistensy of my play improved noticeably. The machine is easily transportable in the back of my cross-over, it is easy to use and does not have serious shortcomings. Bad: You really need to buy and use a trickle charger (extra $100), because otherwise, the chances are you'd overcharge the battery, or would keep it undercharged for too long, and this will ruine the lead-acid thing very fast. A better charger should have been made standard and built-in. Secondly - the charging socket is in a very difficult to access place when the machine stands on the ground. You really need to get on your knees and almost lay down to get to it. There is definitely plenty of place on the top providing much easier access. Bad design. The handles for lifting. There are two plastic formed handles, one at the higher location, and one near the very bottom. The latter makes you basically kneel or crouch if you want to lift the machine from the ground. Very uncomfortable, and bad for your back! I am sure a better, higher location for the handle could have been found after a little more design care. Again, bad design decision. Finally, quite frequently, the machine leaves last few balls not served: they somehow get bunched up at strange locations of the hoop and are not picked up by the mechanism. Sometimes, one or two get suddenly "unstuck" from their places, and then randomly shot away as you are walking toward the thing. Dangerous. Again, design of the hoop and its attachment were not thought through, and the moneymaking goals dominated the quality. Other than these annoying, but not critical shortcomings, the machine delivers the results I hoped it would. I wish there was a competition so they would improve...
