The Grand Slam 5 can throw balls throughout the entire spectrum of the court with customizable speed, spin, trajectory and oscillation. This unique system enables the machine to simulate true match play to let you work on your style in realistic conditions.
The Lobster Elite Grand Slam 5 ball machine has three positional settings: narrow, medium and wide, which enable you to groove your forehand and backhand ground strokes or warm up your shots.
The ball machine offers the following pre-set drills:
Grinder – a sequence of 6 slow high bouncing balls to either forehand or backhand, repeated after a 6-second delay
Power Baseliner – a sequence of 5 fast, low bouncing balls to either forehand or backhand, followed by a short, high ball to finish; repeated after a 6-second delay
All Courter – a sequence of 6 slow or fast balls, varying in height, to either forehand or backhand, repeated after a 6-second delay
Approach – a sequence of 6 deep balls, 4 to the forehand and 2 to the backhand, repeated after a 6-second delay
Attack/Defend – a sequence of slow and fast balls to either forehand or backhand, of variable depth. Repeated after a 6-second delay.
Forehand Plus – a similar sequence to the Approach mode, with 2 balls on the backhand side to be hit with a forehand. Repeated after a 6-second delay.
The handle, which enables you to easily pull and push the machine, is 3ft. (91cm) long and secured by two removable pins: take them out to make the machine more compact when you want to transport it. The oversized 8” (20cm) wheels make it easy to move the equipment over any surface. There is also a court placement indicator, which allows full corner-to-corner sweep, and an elevation indicator, which provides a clear view of the shot height. The machine has moulded handholds on its underside to facilitate lifting it; they have non-slip pads for added safety.
