Brought the elite V direct from the Lobster web site. Yes it is over priced, drills could a be a bit more accurate, Battery life is only about 3 hrs., and the screws fell out of the handle first time I used it. That is the cons. The pros are the drills are clever, over all accuracy is pretty good, Their new remote is awesome ( no range problems), I have used the Elite over 15 hours and not one single ball jam.,( I play at high speeds and fast feeds-Gamma pressure-less balls), and the spin,depth settings, etc. very user friendly. The manual although not extensive is good. I am a 50 year old new to the game (19 months) but in less then 3 weeks have went from rarely winning a game against my A-Level partner to taking him to 7 games in a set. My strokes have improved dramatically. (lot of room for improvement). I tend to be Hyper-critical but this machine is totally a must have if your serious about getting your game together.
