BALL MACHINES
PICKLEBALL MACHINES
A Look at the Top Sellers
There are three major ball machines currently being
manufactured for pickleball—the Tutor, Lobster and Playmate.
The Pickleball Tutor and Lobster machines offer similar
price points under $1,000. They also both offer oscillation
(side to side movement) and topspin/underspin delivery.
In addition, both machines come with a large capacity of
125 to 135 balls that can be fed either in rapid succession
(1 to 2 seconds) or as far apart as every 10 to 12 seconds.
Speeds can range from soft dinks to as fast as a blistering 60
mph! Finally, both machines also come with battery packs for
remote usage.
If you’re looking to improve your singles or doubles game,
ball machines are one of the best ways to maximize your
potential in the shortest amount of time possible.

PICKLEBALL TUTOR PLUS
Pickleball and Spin
The vast majority of pickleball players will not experience any
meaningful spin on their opponents’ shots. Pickleball is different
from tennis in this regard. The smaller court size and the rules of
pickleball pertaining to paddles and balls specifically discourage
spin. However, if you plan to play competitive tournament-level
pickleball you may see some spin, which is why the Pickleball
Tutor Plus is offered.
Pickleball Tutor Plus is easily adjustable to shoot all the shots
you need to practice against including:
• Dinks • Lobs • Serves • Drives • Groundstrokes
• Holds 110 pickleballs
• Ball Speed – Up to 65 MPH
• Ball Feed – From every one second (for quick-reaction volleys)
to every 10 seconds
• Throws both indoor and outdoor pickleballs
• Start-up time delay allows time to get to the other side of the net
before balls begin shooting.
• Rechargeable Battery – Built-in battery provides up to four
hours of playing time per charge.
• Smart Battery Charger – Fully charges the battery overnight
and shuts off automatically to prevent over-charging
• Random Oscillator is included.
• Built-in 3" towing wheels and handle for easy transport (no
towing cart)
