Lobster Ball Bucket

Introduction
Lobster is famed for making some of the best ball machines worldwide and they are proud at what they do. There are many different types of ball machines made by Lobster, including battery powered and electric powered machines. One of those electric models is the Ball Bucket, which is a fun way of improving your tennis skills.

Usefulness
The Ball Bucket by Lobster has a very simple design, but is a good choice for tennis players who are beginners or looking for an affordable electric operated ball machine. The Ball Bucket is not the most advanced tennis ball machine, but it does have some great features including a built-in random horizontal oscillation that helps you practice your forehands and backhands. The Ball Bucket can shoot balls at speeds between 15 and 60 MPH and can hold up to 50 tennis balls. It has a ball feed rate that is adjustable from 3 to 12 seconds and also has advanced features such as an 80-degree lob to practice overhead shots.

Convenience
The machine is a very respectable 28 pounds, which makes this ball machine one of the lightest and easiest ball machines to transport. It has a simple design and is relatively easy-to-use, even for the more technically challenged. Since it only holds 50 balls though, you could find yourself reloading more often that you would like. It’s also electric powered, so you’ll need to have an electrical outlet close by, which can be a little less convenient when it comes to public court play.

Longevity
As with all Lobster machines, the Ball Bucket comes with a 2-year warranty so that you can rest assured that your ball machine will be well covered. You can also purchase an optional cover to protect your ball machine when it is in storage. This Ball Bucket is a little less sturdy than other models, but it is still a good ball machine that will last for years to come.

Value
You definitely won’t be able to find another ball machine quite like this one for the price. At just $549 the ball bucket is a great choice for tennis players who are just beginning or children who are just learning tennis. For such a great price, you do get some really good features including an oscillator.

CONCLUSION
The Ball Bucket is great fun, a simple design, and really good value for money. What it lacks for in features, it makes up for with its price and simple and easy-to-use design. With a horizontal oscillator, speeds ranging up to 60 MPH and an 80-degree lob feature, you really will not be disappointed with this Lobster. The only down side is that it can only store up to 50 tennis balls which can be a bit of a pain. Lobster is proud to announce that the Ball Bucket is one of the most advanced tennis ball machines available for its size and price.
