Product Overview
The Lobster Pickle Champion brings cutting-edge technology to your court with all-digital controls and six pre-loaded drills: drive to the kitchen, green light red light, diffuse the banger, flying ernie, around the clock, and stop drop and lob. Players can instantly load a drill or spend time customizing their own practice sequences with 20 different control functions.
This machine offers ball speeds from 20 to 65 mph with fully random, vertical, or horizontal oscillation patterns. Electronic elevation adjustment ranges from 0 to 50 degrees, giving you control over every dimension of your training. The 125-ball capacity means extended practice sessions with minimal interruption, and adjustable feed rates from 2 to 9 seconds let you work at your own pace.
Choose your configuration based on your court setup: internal battery provides 4-6 hours of court time per charge, while external battery offers unlimited runtime. Both options come with a standard charger and your choice of either a 20-function remote or 20-function Wi-Fi remote for Apple devices. The machine weighs 44 lbs and comes with a 2-year warranty.
Whether you're practicing footwork, perfecting your kitchen shots, or developing consistency in your strokes, the Pickle Champion adapts to your training goals and playing style.
