We have recently purchased a new ball machine, the Lobster Champion. This is not an ordinary ball machine–it has six pre-programmed drills that will elevate your game, plus it’s lightweight and super easy to use unlike our old one. 

Take a look at the video to see what this machine can do. It’s pretty slick!

To help defray the cost of the Lobster 🦞, we will be charging a $30 subscription fee which will entitle the member to unlimited use of the ball machine from April through to the end of December. Rates for 2025 will be determined toward year end.  The subscription fee will be payable by member charge. 

Why are we not charging per use? Simply put, we don’t have the administrative capacity to do so. We do anticipate, however, hosting a couple of demo days for members to try the Lobster. Stay tuned for details.

Prior to using the machine, all interested members will need to authorize the charge and be trained by Tom Hunter or any of his designees. Our plan is to host numerous training sessions during the latter half of March with a start date for sign up on Sign up Genius April 1st. No joke! 

If this sounds like something you want to participate in, please contact Debbie Dove at debdove@gmail so we can keep a running tab of interested members.

Any questions regarding the machine or program may be directed to Debbie, Tom Hunter hunteto@gmail.com or Pickleball Chair Leanne Ely at lulucooks@gmail.com. 

Hope you’re as excited by this recent addition to our programming as we are!!

See you on the courts.
