LOBSTER
EL04
The Lobster Elite Grand IV is the most advanced battery operated portable tennis ball machine in the world. The Elite Grand IV offers unrivaled full random oscillation. The revolutionary design allows the machine to throw balls throughout the entire spectrum of the court while mixing up speed, spin, trajectory, and oscillation. The Elite Grand IV also comes with a sophisticated computerized software that has been programmed to determine all possible combinations of speed, trajectory, and spin. The fully random technology realistically simulates real match play, a feature unsurpassed by any other portable tennis ball machine on the market.
The Lobster Elite Grand IV is equipped with the most extensive 3-Line function in the world today. With three positional settings: Narrow, Medium, and Wide, you are in full control of the recovery time for switching between your forehand and backhand. The Elite Grand IV also comes with three pre-programmed six-shot drills that simulate the most popular playing styles: grinder, all-courter, and power baseliner. These three drills mix up speed, trajectory, and spin to prepare you to play against the toughest opponents.
The Grinder Drill: The Grinder type tries to break down their opponents physically and mentally, waiting for the other play to make the mistakes. This six ball drill utilizes the back court with different types of spn.
The Power Baseliner Drill: The Power Baseliner type focuses explosiveness in their shot selection, playing with pace, aggression, and minimal spin. This six ball drill utilizes the full back court with little spin and more ball speed.
The All-Courter Drill: The All-Courter is a player type who focuses their game on tactics. They compete well from the baseline, hitting a variety of shots, and will come to the net to finish points. This six ball drill utilizes both the full back court and front court with some top spin and less ball speed.
Battery included.
