Lobster Elite Grandslam V

Introduction
Lobster has dedicated many years to create the best tennis ball machines available on the market today, as well as guaranteeing spare parts in case you ever need to make any repairs to your ball machine. One specific model in the Elite series is the Grandslam IV, which is one of the most advanced portable tennis ball machines in the world.

Usefulness
The Elite Grandslam V has all of the features of the Grandslam IV, which includes a full random oscillation to challenge all types of tennis players, grinder drill to wear down its opponent by incorporating various spin shots, and power baseliner drill to emulate an opponent with an explosive shot. The Grandslam V also has the courter drill that simulates a tactically savvy player as well as the sophisticated computerized software to determine every possible combination of speed, spin, and ball trajectory.

The Grandslam V differs from the IV because it has a fully programmable function that allows you to program shot direction, speed, and more. This is helpful when it comes to quick ball play for advanced players. The Grandslam V also features full random oscillation to challenge all levels of tennis players and the drills are preprogrammed to add to the convenience of ball play. Other added features include the forehand plus drill that throws balls with a moderate topspin for extra arc to give the player more time to set up for a forehand shot. It will also accentuate the player’s dominant forehand stroke. If these features weren’t enough for even the most dedicated tennis player, then the Grandslam V also features an attack and defend drill that throws balls at a greater speed with minimal spin. This allows a player to move in and out of the corners and baseline quickly and is designed to teach them how to move in all directions from the baseline. It also features an approach drill that throws balls at various arcs and spins to help correct the approach and net position.

Convenience
The Grandslam V comes fully equipped with an all new control panel and wireless remote for optimal convenience when it comes to game play. The wireless remote is easy to use and with up to 8 hours of battery life, this ball machine will last for a very long and productive practice session. For even the most technologically challenged of us, the Grandslam V has been developed to be user-friendly and is suitable for even the youngest of tennis players. And with its portability, you can use this ball machine anywhere, including public courts.

Longevity
As with all Lobster ball machines, the Grandslam V comes complete with a 2-year warranty, but unfortunately the cover to protect your ball machine is an extra cost. However, Lobster ball machines are designed for stability and durability and will last you for many years to come.

Value
Prices for the Grandslam V start from $2,199. This might seem quite expensive, but when you consider everything that the ball machine features, it is easy to see how this will be a great investment into a dedicated tennis player’s future.

CONCLUSION
With a state-of-the-art and easy-to-use control panel, full oscillation, and random simulated play, this ball machine really is worth every penny you spend. The Grandslam V has a ball speed range from 30 to 80 MPH to challenge every tennis player as well as a battery life of up to 8 hours for prolonged practice. The only downside is that you have to pay extra for a wireless remote and storage cover.
