Product Overview
The Lobster The Pickle is a full-featured pickleball machine built to help you drill and improve without a practice partner. It throws balls at speeds ranging from 10 to 60 mph and can produce both heavy top and backspin, letting you rehearse a wide range of shots.
Random horizontal oscillation keeps you moving across the court, while the manual elevation adjustment from 0 to 50 degrees lets you set the trajectory to match the shots you want to practice. With a ball capacity of 125 and a feed rate adjustable between 2 and 12 seconds, you can dial in the pace of your session.
This machine is powered by a rechargeable battery for cord-free use on the court, delivering 2 to 4 hours of court time per charge. It comes with a standard charger and an included remote control so you can make adjustments without walking back to the machine, and a premium charger is available as an option.
At 35 lbs, The Pickle is manageable to transport to and from the court. It is backed by a 2-year warranty.
