Lobster ball machines for more fun in training
Among the manufacturers of ball machines, Lobster stands out in particular. Which is all the more impressive once you get to know the history of the Californian company a little better. When founder Harry Guiditta – already a retired bank executive at the time – took over the bankrupt ball machine producer in 1970, back then still trading under the name Green Brook Developing Company, he found a business in complete disarray. The quality of the machines was more than poor, and customers accordingly had anything but kind words for the manufacturer.
But to win back those disgruntled customers, Guiditta did something remarkable: he recalled every ball machine ever built, repaired and overhauled them, and then shipped each and every one of them back free of charge. That investment was to pay off, because it wasn't long before the customer base gradually began to grow again. And more than fifty years later, Lobster is still one of the most renowned manufacturers of ball machines in the world.
Versatile and robust: the ball machines from Lobster
Lobster is, so to speak, the Rolls Royce among ball machines. With the Lobster "Elite Grand Five", for example, you can do practically anything. This battery-powered ball machine feeds you the ball in up to six different variations, and you can choose between 18 different positions. One battery charge lasts for four to eight hours before you have to plug it back into the socket.
The touch display integrated into every Lobster product also makes operating these Californian ball machines child's play. In addition to different positions, you can also choose between different feed heights and set the ball speed individually – between 15 and 130 kilometres per hour, depending on the model. Thanks to the high ball capacity of up to 150 balls, frequently reloading tennis balls is now a thing of the past. Lobster ball machines therefore make for genuinely efficient and varied training, whether with or without a partner.
