LOBSTER PICKLE TWO BALL MACHINE INFORMATION
We have recently (April 2022) purchased a pickleball machine for use by all of our current donors. You must watch the videos and read the manual as well as have an in person training with someone already trained.
DO’S AND DON’TS
· ONLY USE FRANKLIN X40 OUTDOOR BALLS (found in the big blue bag hanging in the shed on the right).
· DO NOT MIX BALL TYPES—ONLY Franklin X-40 and NEVER use the balls in the hoppers used for play.
· NO WET BALLS
· IF YOU ARE ALONE, TURN THE FEED OFF TO LOAD
· MAINTAIN 22 FEET FROM MACHINE FOR PRACTICE
· IF THE RESET BUTTON POPS OUT, SEE PAGE 6
· IT TAKES 20 SECONDS TO START SHOOTING BALLS
RESERVATION INSTRUCTIONS:
You may not use the ball machine during drop-in times. You will need to reserve a court for using the machine. Note that reservations are only allowed M-F from 11:00 - 1:00 on Courts A and B. To reserve a court, go to BOOK A COURT. If you need to use the machine outside of those hours, you can use it whenever a half tennis court is empty without a reservation.
We recommend sharing whenever possible. It is best to have at least two people using it to allow for faster ball pickup. We will include some “Pre-set” settings for helping you set-up to practice different things.
