How Do Lobster Tennis Ball Machines Compare to Other Recommended Ball Machines?

Lobster ball machines are among the foremost of recommended ball machines, because they offer many features only available in the most expensive commercial ball machines. In fact, many tennis clubs use Lobster pneumatic machines as commercial ball machines. This is because Lobster offers not only unparalleled durability, but also the most accurate shot of all tennis ball machines on the market.

Pneumatic machines use air pressure to shoot the ball onto the court, a technology that ensures accurate shot placement every time. Even Lobster's battery operated wheel technology machine offers the most accurate shot placement, when compared to other recommended ball machines that use battery power.

In addition to shot accuracy, LobSter Tennis Ball Machines beat out other recommended ball machines in terms of speed, spin, and oscillation. Lobster tennis ball machines provide 15% faster ball speed than other recommended ball machines as well as heavier top and bottom spin. The Lobster 401 Tournament ball machine offers random vertical and horizontal oscillation that enables the player to improve footwork throughout the court, just as with commercial ball machines. Finally, the light weight of a Lobster ball machine makes them truly portable ball machines.
