Choose Your Portable Ball Machines Here - All Below 50 LBS



The weight of Portable Ball Machines definitely is a top factor in our choice as consumers and tennis players. Imagine lugging down the stairs a tennis ball machine which weigh 87 lbs.! Not an easy feat if you are not so big in stature nor if you're not possessing upper body strength.

Thankfully, light tennis ball machines are available. They may or may not come with your desired features. But if the weight of the tennis ball machine that you want is your primary consideration, below is a lineup of portable ball machines, their weight and power source.

Choosing a lightweight ball machine certainly helps considering the extra effort needed in carrying a heavy machine or the potential injury that can result in carrying a machine around with you.

If the tennis court that you go to has electric outlet, choose a pneumatic tennis machine. This machine is powered by electricity and propels balls using regulated air pressure assuring consistency in ball placement. Lobster produces some of the lightest tennis ball machines available - they fit easily in the trunk of your car.

At 20 lbs definitely one of the lightest among portable ball machines without sacrificing much of the features, the Lob-Ster Economy Ball Bucket Pneumatic Tennis Ball Machine propels balls pneumatically (by means of regulated air pressure) which assures consistency in ball placement.
