MA NTENANCE
nclement Weather
Never store the machine outside. Exposure to rain and snow will shorten the life of the
machine. While the custom cover for the machine will protect it from light weather
conditions, prolonged exposure to humidity and extreme temperature can affect the
electronics and mechanics even if covered.
Storage
Store the machine unplugged in a clean, dry location. Extreme temperatures and
conditions can affect the machine’s electronic board and power supply. Exposure to
rain and snow will damage the electronics.
Cleaning
Unplug the machine when cleaning it. The outside of the machine may be wiped
down with a mild detergent. The inside of the machine may be vacuumed to remove
tennis ball fuzz. The Lobster storage cover is an ideal way to protect your machine
from the elements.
Ball Consistency
The consistency of ball throws is dependent on the consistency of the tennis balls
you use. Consistent balls will produce consistent ball throws. A mixture of new and
old balls will produce inconsistent ball throws. Pressureless balls are recommended
for use with a ball machine. For more information, call Lobster at 800.526.4041.

Your Lobster phenom™ computerized ball machine has been designed to keep the
tennis ball in the full singles court. You MUST calibrate your machine at the
beginning of each play session to your court and current conditions in order to
maintain accuracy. This does NOT need to be done each time you refill the
hopper with balls.
Court Placement nstructions
• Start by centering the machine on court center mark, directly behind the baseline.
• Only use one standard, outdoor extension
cord, 14-16 gauge. Using cords longer than
100 feet or more than one cord
may result in reduced performance.

forward with your body weight.
Calibration
• Power on the machine and allow it to go
through a self test.
• Push the TEST button. One tennis ball
should be thrown over the net to land within a
2 foot area of the opposite side of the court where the
service and center lines converge, just as depicted by the
TEST button and the diagram below.
- If the test ball lands outside of the 2 foot radius,
long or short use the and SETTINGS buttons
to
adjust the distance in .5 foot increments. If the ball
should fall outside of the area left or right, move the
back of the machine slightly to the left or right, as
needed. Retest and make adjustments as necessary.

Program
The program function allows you to create your own drills, up to six personal
programs, and set up your own training exercises. You may create sequences of
shots with anywhere from 1 to 6 balls that will cycle. This allows for many more
combinations that will always give you new challenges. There are limitations to what
the machine can do…please read this carefully.
• The serving wheels can speed up faster than they can slow down. Fast shots
followed by slow shots or drastic changes in spin will produce shots out the
back of the court if used with fast feed rates. If you wish to use faster feed
rates, keep your changes in speed and spin incremental. A good guide is not to
change the speed more than your feed rate times 5 in miles per hour (treat
each level of spin as 5 MPH).
As an example : A feed rate of 4 sec will let you have up to 20 mph of
change or 4 levels of spin.
• Certain combinations of speed and spin will not stay within the court. If a
setting will not produce a viable shot, the display will blink to tell you that the
shot is not possible and remain at the previous setting.
• When you have filled up the 6th shot in a program, selecting next will
automatically take you to the overall program screen.
To Create Your First Personal Program
1. Press the button.
2. The screen will prompt you to select a location
for your first shot. Press any of the 1 to 18
buttons to advance to the
shot parameters screen.
3. The machine will be programmed to throw one ball
to the location selected. You may now adjust the
shot parameters for this shot:
• Speed – Chose from 40 to 80 MPH in
5 mph increments.
• Spin – Increase and decrease top and back spin up to three levels.
• Feed – Adjust between 2-9 second intervals, or scroll down to random
setting.
4. When the shot is satisfactory, use the menu buttons / to highlight the
“Next + Back –“ line. Press to choose the location and shot parameters
for the next shot in your drill or to return to overall program screen.

Program
The program function allows you to create your own drills, up to six personal
programs, and set up your own training exercises. You may create sequences of
shots with anywhere from 1 to 6 balls that will cycle. This allows for many more
combinations that will always give you new challenges. There are limitations to what
the machine can do…please read this carefully.
• The serving wheels can speed up faster than they can slow down. Fast shots
followed by slow shots or drastic changes in spin will produce shots out the
back of the court if used with fast feed rates. If you wish to use faster feed
rates, keep your changes in speed and spin incremental. A good guide is not to
change the speed more than your feed rate times 5 in miles per hour (treat
each level of spin as 5 MPH).
As an example : A feed rate of 4 sec will let you have up to 20 mph of
change or 4 levels of spin.
• Certain combinations of speed and spin will not stay within the court. If a
setting will not produce a viable shot, the display will blink to tell you that the
shot is not possible and remain at the previous setting.
• When you have filled up the 6th shot in a program, selecting next will
automatically take you to the overall program screen.
To Create Your First Personal Program
1. Press the button.
2. The screen will prompt you to select a location
for your first shot. Press any of the 1 to 18

• Feed – Adjust between 2-9 second intervals, or scroll down to random
setting.
4. When the shot is satisfactory, use the menu buttons / to highlight the

Your Lobster phenom™ computerized ball machine has been designed to keep the
tennis ball in the full singles court. You MUST calibrate your machine at the
beginning of each play session to your court and current conditions in order to
maintain accuracy. This does NOT need to be done each time you refill the
hopper with balls.
Court Placement nstructions
• Start by centering the machine on court center mark, directly behind the baseline.
• Only use one standard, outdoor extension
cord, 14-16 gauge. Using cords longer than
100 feet or more than one cord
may result in reduced performance.
Brake Set & Release
• BEFORE USE: Push on the brake pad
with your foot until you hear or feel
the brake engage. Confirm that the
front wheels remain positioned over
the baseline, at the court’s center mark.
• AFTER USE: To disengage the brake,
step on the red base with your foot, pushing
forward with your body weight.
Calibration
• Power on the machine and allow it to go
through a self test.
• Push the TEST button. One tennis ball
should be thrown over the net to land within a
2 foot area of the opposite side of the court where the
service and center lines converge, just as depicted by the
TEST button and the diagram below.
- If the test ball lands outside of the 2 foot radius,
long or short use the and SETTINGS buttons
to
adjust the distance in .5 foot increments. If the ball
should fall outside of the area left or right, move the
back of the machine slightly to the left or right, as
needed. Retest and make adjustments as necessary.
• Once the test is complete, press the manual button or
one of the nine preset buttons in the center of the control
panel to choose mode of play, then press the play button.

turn the machine’s power button on again. If the error message continues, call
Lobster Customer Service at 800.526.4041.
MA NTENANCE
nclement Weather
Never store the machine outside. Exposure to rain and snow will shorten the life of the
machine. While the custom cover for the machine will protect it from light weather
conditions, prolonged exposure to humidity and extreme temperature can affect the
electronics and mechanics even if covered.
Storage
Store the machine unplugged in a clean, dry location. Extreme temperatures and
conditions can affect the machine’s electronic board and power supply. Exposure to
rain and snow will damage the electronics.
Cleaning
Unplug the machine when cleaning it. The outside of the machine may be wiped
down with a mild detergent. The inside of the machine may be vacuumed to remove
tennis ball fuzz. The Lobster storage cover is an ideal way to protect your machine
from the elements.
Ball Consistency
The consistency of ball throws is dependent on the consistency of the tennis balls
you use. Consistent balls will produce consistent ball throws. A mixture of new and
old balls will produce inconsistent ball throws. Pressureless balls are recommended
for use with a ball machine. For more information, call Lobster at 800.526.4041.
MACH NE ASSEMBLY CONT NUED
6. Locate the female wire connector at the center of the base unit (lower half) and
attach it to the male wire connector in the center of the hopper unit’s lower
section. The wires should click and lock together easily.
7. Verify that the already connected wire assembly feeds into the cutout area of the
base unit and is not being pinched where the two units meet.
8. Place the hopper into the proper location using the guides. There are 4 metal
extensions on the bottom of the hopper unit that will fit into 4 holes on the top of
the base unit. They will ‘click’ into place when properly aligned.
9. Use the provided 4 wing screws and 4 washers to secure the base unit to the
hopper unit from the underside, as depicted below.
