OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

External AC Power Supply

For extended court time, the 

external AC power pack

transforms

our battery ball machines into an AC powered ball machine. Using
the 

external ac power supply

with our machine allows for

continuous, uninterrupted use. The battery must be mostly or fully
charged for this feature to work. With this optional accessory, the
machine can run off whichever power method the user prefers.

External Battery Pack

The 

external battery pack

provides an additiona     l 4-8 hours of

court time and can be used with any of our portable machines.

Storage Cover

Our heavy duty, lined, fabric 

elite storage cover

protects your

ball machine from the elements, as well as from dust and
moisture when in storage.

BALL CONSISTENCY

Best Type of Balls for Consistent Throws

The consistency of ball throws is dependent on the consistency
of the tennis balls used. The same age and type of tennis balls
will produce consistent ball throws. A mixture of new and old
balls will produce inconsistent ball throws. Pressureless balls
provide the best results in both toss and bounce—it’s like
playing with new balls almost indefinitely. Lobster recommends

Tretorn Micro X balls

for best results, and are available from

LobsterSports.com. Never put damp or wet balls in the machine.

SERVER WHEELS

Server Wheels Maintenance   

Lobster ball machines have two server wheels which throw the tennis balls. Like a
car, Lobster ball machines can last for decades if taken care of properly. And like 
car tires, the server wheels will need to be replaced throughout the life of the
machine. Parts are available from lobstersports.com and customers can replace the
wheels themselves or the machine can be shipped back to Lobster for maintenance.
We have created a tutorial video showing how to replace the server wheels which can
be found on our website’s
