Tennis Tutor Prolite AC
Tennis Tutor Prolite is a full-featured professional ball machine, yet it stands only 12 inches tall and weighs less than 30 pounds. Patented technology borrowed from the world's #1 portable ball machine, the Tennis Tutor, makes it possible. Tennis Tutor Prolite is available in both AC and batter-powered models. Ball speed is electronically variable from a gentle toss that's ideal for kids just beginning tennis, to hard-hitting ground strokes that will challenge even top amateur players. The wide speed range makes Tennis Tutor Prolite a superb choice for families with players at different ability levels. Ball fee rate is electronically variable from one ball every two seconds (for quick-reaction volleys), to one ball every 10 seconds. Ball trajectory is manually adjustable from groundstroke to towering lob. When you're ready to hit on the run, just flip the oscillator switch and Tennis Tutor Prolite will deliver shots randomly across the court. A start-up time delay allows the player time to get to the other side of the net before balls begin shooting. The ball hopper opens in seconds to hold 125 tennis balls. Just load the balls and you're ready for action. If you play on public courts or at your local tennis club you'll appreciate the convenience of the battery-powered model (especially since 80% of public courts don't have accessible electric power). Its built-in rechargeable battery typically delivers two to three hours of playing time. And it can be recharged between 500 and 1,000 times before replacement. The Battery Model comes complete with a pug-in charging unit that fully charges the battery overnight. And it even has a built-in-battery charge indicator. Tennis Tutor Prolite is backed by a one-year warranty covering both parts and labor.

Lobster Hybrid 301
The Lobster Sports Hybrid is our middle model of electric-powered tennis ball machines. Two ball settings let you choose which part of your game to focus on. The first setting positions the shot in the same place repeatedly. You can practice those forehands and backhands to create muscle memory for improved reaction time during play. The second setting oscillates horizontally, creating a random pattern of shots from sideline to sideline to help you advance your strokes and foot speed agility. Load 150 balls and enjoy playing against such sophisticated features as up to 80-degree lobs to practice your overheads. This degree of overhead is not available on any competitor's ball machines. Face speeds of up to 70 miles per hour to increase your ability to react without thinking. An adjustable feed rate lets you determine your recovery time. A manageable 31 pounds with our oversize wheels makes this model easily portable. If you want a third ball setting, find out how the Tournament Model model may better fit your playing needs. Find out more about our Ball Bucket model if you need less features at a lower price.
