Hello everyone, the plastic flaps of the ball hopper of the tennis tutor pro lite ball machine break very easily if I hit them with a ball. on the photo you see the white flaps in an opened position. The white flaps attach to the black body of the ball machine with small joints. see them...

Does anyone know who to turn to for BALL MACHINE REPAIR in South Florida? My PLAYMATE VOLLEY is having issues. I live in Miami but willing to drive within the South Florida area if someone specializes in this. Will pay for your time and any associated parts costs.

Hi, I have a Silent Partner Lite which I love. However, it is too consistent! I want it to toss short and long balls and mix up spin, because I am developing bad habits (poor foot work, and poor spin reading). Since spin and speed are potentiometers (variable resistors), I could imagine using...

I have a tennis tutor plus player, and would like to add the " Phone Multi-Function Remote " option. They charge $300 for the Bluetooth receiver that attaches to the front panel. Does anyone have a picture of the Bluetooth receiver that can share with me? I googled but could not find any info...

I'm currently in the market for a ball machine as my 3rd grade daughter is picking up tennis quickly and I'd like to use it as cardio exercise. I was originally considering the Slingerbag, but the price increased several times the past few months and now at $800 I don't feel its worth it for a...

Hi guys, So for coaches or experienced players out there who have used ball machines to improve their game. Are there any particular drills and progressions I can leverage to improve my game using a ball machine instead of just doing a guessing game playing with the different machine settings...

I built this wall/net thing and I think it's a really ideal way to practice when you have limited space. For the record, I do hit against walls sometimes but the pace of the return is too much sometimes. The ball flies or maybe hits a crack or you have to stand so far away that the space...

I don’t claim for this to be a definitive guide on the tennis elbow problems and solutions. Contrary, it is a personal testament, based on my (pretty methodical) self-observation, data collection and isolated cause-effect analysis. For impatient (tl;dr; ) — the main culprits were a) pressurless...

After years of service, my Grand Elite IV started acting up. When I called the Lobster Support, I was told I needed a new touch panel. This would cost me $150. If I want to upgrade from IV to V LE, that would cost me $600 Should I bite the bullet and do the upgrade or spend $150 and sit with IV...

Hi everyone, I'm looking to buy my first ball machine and was wondering if anyone has any opinions on the Baseliner Slam ( http://dimensionsport.com/baseliner-slam/ )? It seems to be one of the cheapest machines out there, and quite readily available. Strangely, there doesn't seem to be many...

I found a review of a Lobster Elite from about 2004, but I was thinking that there must have been tennis ball machines that used the rotating wheels design before this, right? Just curious about the history and who started the trend away from the limited and pretty awful pneumatic machines. I...

I am looking for some help having had a Lobster Grand 4 for a while I am now finding that the buttons on control panel are no longer responding and it is stuck in 1 mode. Unfortunately I have lost my remote so unable to use this. Only buttons that work are "power" & "start/stop" Could someone...

Hey Fellas, I am a badminton player converted to tennis for the time being for CoVid reasons. I found myself enjoying it a lot more than I expected. I used to play a handful of times every summer with pals but it never went further than that. For lack of recurring partners and scheduling...

I was hoping to get some opinions/guidance on a new ball machine. My budget is $1,500 and it will be used in a club type setting. What do you all suggest? What’s the best value for my budget? Thanks

We're all stuck at home in this quarantine, and all the tennis courts in my are are locked/closed. So I tried to think of a way to get in some tennis practice while at home, so that I can keep exercising and not get rusty. I was browsing through videos of various tennis products on Youtube (as...

Might anyone have more information about this raised platform for a tennis ball machine? From what I can see, it looks perfect, though from this one picture I can't tell how portable it is. I would especially love to get more insight into how to make the part with what looks like a threaded...

Hello All, If anyone is selling their used ball machine,please let me know. I am based out of Secaucus,New Jersey. Would prefer Lobster Elite Liberty Ball Machine,but can lookout for other options as well.

I am looking for a new ball machine and I want something that can really do a lot. I have been happy with what I have but I wanted to get something that do custom stroke sequences. I came across the Precision Tennis System by Matchmate (I don't know if I am allowed to link this?) and I wanted...

Has anyone raised the height of the Tennis Tutor? I have played many hours with my Tennis Tutor Plus Player for the three years I’ve owned it and now I want it off the ground at least 30 inches so in a straight ball delivery the ball will come out close to level. Has anyone else tried this...

Hi all, I am looking for a machine at a reasonable price. I came across silent partner machines online. They are cheaper than other brands. My question is how are they compare to tennis tutor or lobster? Are they dependable? What do you recommend? Thank you.

Hey everybody...new to the forum. My two main hitting partners are gone...one moved and one is out indefinitely with shoulder issues. I've been looking into getting a ball machine. Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations. My main hitting partner was the state champion in Texas at 4.5...

I had an opportunity to try out a Lobster Elite 5 today. It is a "new customer returned" model someone is selling locally at a decent markdown. :p I need some input from others here with knowledge / experience with this machine - or the other "Elite Grand" line with same throwing motors -...
