Coaching aid helps skills

---

Mangawhai Tennis Club youth development squad has been honing their skills with a brand new Lobster Elite tennis ball machine.

It can send balls down at 120kmh and fire balls to the left and right corners of the court. It is a great asset, giving the squad a chance to face some challenging balls in their quest to prepare for regional and national tennis competitions – and their coach a chance to observe their technique!

Many thanks to Pub Charity for their generous support in purchasing this item. Youth development squad members pictured with the machine are, from left, Rosa Ewing, Trent Eagle, Noah Loheni, Sarah Kemp, and Tommy Wilson.
