Pickleball Machine – Full-Featured – Adjustable Topspin, Backspin, & Lobs, Random Oscillation, Ball Speed (20-60MPH), Lightweight & Portable, Holds 125 Balls, with Multi-Function Remote

Seems like they've really put a lot thought into the design of this product...everything seems to be functional, durable, and easily replaceable. Most of the parts are sold on their website so it should be easy to buy spare parts and replace it yourself.

I went out on a limb and spent way more than I should have for a pb machine in hopes in improving my game. The machine was delivered to my SC home in about a week which I thought was great since I was anxious to receive it. Unpacking / setup was easy and headed straight to the courts. First impression was favorable. Seems to throw reliably and remote works well and a "must have" in my opinion.I have used the machine for a week and so far, so good. However, the plastic buildup on the throwing wheels is substantial and I am sure a problem over time. I estimate that I have "thrown" about 2,000 balls (Franklin X40) with it and there is/was about an 8th of an inch of yellow plastic on the bottom wheel. So as Lobster recommends, I obtained 100 grit sandpaper and attempted to clean the wheels through the opening in the shell. MISSION IMPOSSIBLE! The sandpaper hardly removed any of the material and access is very awkward. So, I tried to remove the shell by removing the 6 screws that fasten it to the machine. No big deal but apparently during assembly one of the screws was crossed threaded into the brass insert in the chassis which was an absolute bear to remove. The brass insert had been twisted out of the housing and was spinning freely. I am proficient at dealing with issues like this and finally got the screw out. With the shell off the machine, I had much better access to the wheels but the 100 grit sandpaper was not up to the task. I am going to call Lobster tomorrow to see if there is an updated approach to removing the residue.Overall I still think this a great machine but periodic maintenance will be required.UPDATE 04/17/22: Used the machine for 3 sessions after getting the residue off the wheels. Machine performs well with only an occasional mis throw. Residue build up does not seem to be happening as rapidly now that the balls are broken in a bit. Already playing better after about 8-10 sessions on the machine.UPDATE 04/29/22: Build up on roller persists requiring cleaning the wheels again. Called Tech Support two days ago. No call back so I called again and was advised that problem is normal and will need periodic cleaning due to friction and heat. After cleaning worked flawlessly during session with a few hundred balls thrown. I think I will clean the wheels lightly after each use and hoping this will abate future problems. Be prepared.

Just got it today, look nice, have not used it yet, but some quick observations.1. There is really no owner manaul. Just a two pages general Instructions.2. The elevation in front is marked from 0 to 40 degrees trajectiry. But I can only adjust it from 10 to about 30 degrees. Not sure it will hamper my ability to practice overhead shots. And the handle to adjust the elevation, you have to pull hard and turn while pulling. It sounds cheaps as you are adjusting.More to come as I begin to use it.Dec 19I used it for about four days and very impress with the purchase. The battery last an easy four hours. And that is working the machine very hard. I can practice dinks, overheads, thrid shots, drives, backhand forehand easy and consistent. This machine can really make you work up a sweat. Well worth the price. Change my rating to 5 star, but the handle to control elevation could use some improvement.

I ordered this thrower blind because there are no reviews. I don't normally review items I buy on Amazon but feel I should so others can get some help. My wife and I are new to Pickleball and live in a place in the north that has no pickleball group. We learned to play in Florida where we spend winters. I bought this to keep me playing while I'm home. All the grumbling I've seen about the charger seems over-rated. Plug it in when you finish using it, unplug it tomorrow morning. Seems pretty simple. It does everything as advertised except it does not slow down to 12 seconds. I even changed the circuit board and it still throws from 2 seconds down to as low as 5 seconds. That's really not an issue with me but I guess it could be for some people. I can see no way the hopper will hold 135 balls either. It will drop a few over the side when I load 100, which again is not an issue for me. I bought the remote which has 2 functions and it works fine. All in all, I'm happy and would buy it again. I bought jugs baseball whiffle balls in a box of 100 and they work beautifully.

They have been unable and unwillingly to return item. Lengthy conversations with Lobster and Amazon has produced no reasonable customer response and/or resolution.Choice Tutor, they are honest, fair and responsive!

This machine is the perfect practice partner, because you can adjust exactly what you need. Spins, speed and movement from forehand to backhand. I usually practice for 1 hour and never ran out of power. It's easy to store it in your trunk and because of it's big wheels also easy to move. Mine came with the remote control, which is VERY useful! For me it's the perfect machine
