Lobster Economy, Pneumatic Tennis Ball Machine

This machine gives you a ton of value. It is not that expensive and it is very light. There are not a lot of bells and whistles, but if you're looking for a workhorse of a ball machine for a reasonable price, this is one to think about.

It uses a pneumatic tube, which uses air pressure instead of the "pitching wheel" to send balls over the net. Using this approach means fewer moving parts which means less breakdowns. Plus, it is a much more consistent placement of the ball - wheels can be inconsistent in the ball pattern (something I've learned first hand using a wheel-based Playmate ball machine, btw).

Specifications:

• Oscillation: strikes one spot only


• Shot Height: ground strokes to true lobs


• Weight: 20 lbs

We looked around and this is about the best price we've found
