Welp, guys. You made em sell out. EDIT: Just called the owner and he said they have their own manufacturing facility in the US so they’ll be back in stock soon. He said you can there’s a pre-order waitlist atm, so earlier orders get shipped sooner. Here’s my $100 discount link if you wanna get on the wait list: titanballmachines.com/edju
I placed an order yesterday for their "cheaper" model, the Ace. I had a problem which anyone ordering should know about - their bank is not in the USA, so I incurred a 3% international transaction fee on my credit card - $60. Nowhere on their website is any indication that they are based anywhere other than the United States. The address on the site is in Iowa. The bank that charged my card is in China. I got nothing against China or Chinese companies, but I do against companies that try to hide who they are. Your discount code works on the Ace as well as the One, by the way, but then they charge for shipping, so it only saved me $20. Update: they refunded me the $60 this morning, which was the right thing to do, of course.
Well, Titan is offering free shipping. As a result, it rejects Ed's link (save $20, plus maybe Ed gets a fee for hie well deserved contribution?) now. There is no option to pick which discount.
@@edjupickleball When I chatted online, I was specifically told no. Not both. They were not even happy to activate your link for me. So I got free shipping, but not your code.
Another content creator and I found out the hard way that our code actually doesn't even give us credit. only the LINK does... so essentially anytime someone uses our discount code, we get ZERO credit. So yeah, idk :/ I'd just go for whatever option saves you the most money.
Thanks for the video! Could you consider doing one where you try out some high speeds, such as >40+ mph? Would love to know if this would be good serve return practice.

How easy is it to get parts for it and how easy is it to install them?? I’m sure things on this will wear out whether it be the wheels or bearings or something. Thank you very much.
Thanks for the nice review. I have a question concerning repeatability. Once you get a shot dialed in for height and depth was the machine able to match that shot repeatably? My issue with the two machines ( different manufacturers both the high end model) I have had is they both lacked the ability to put a ball in the same area consistently. I don’t expect that they would drop it on the same exact spot each time but let’s say in an area the size of a hoopla hoop. I am seriously ready to buy if it can deliver the balls to the same area repeatedly. Love all of technology possibilities and sharing opportunities. Thanks for your feedback!
That's a great question and I had a similar concern as well. If you have it on manual, and tell it to hit in a specific spot, it will hit that spot again and again, no variance. There's this one video of it on their instagram page, where they put TWO titan machines in front of each other and have it feed into each other's hopper. It created an infinite loop because it was accurate every time. They said they do that test to guarantee each machine was dialed in perfectly.
Ed, now that 6 months have elapsed are you still using your Titan regularly, still love it and any thoughts for us older people if the lightness of the Titan Ace should be very compatible. Thanks
I haven’t been able to use it this summer because the heat is just unbearable right now. Once the court is finished and the heat chills out, it’s going to see a lot of use
Because of your vid, I now have a Titan Ace. I've been experimenting with it & am having so much fun. I have not yet tried the MegaDrill - when stringing drills together for a MegaDrill, how many balls are used per drill? Also, it would be amazing if you created drills and shared QR codes with us. I love your vids & am inspired by the dynamic enthusiasm that you and your wife create when you drill together. Keep the vids coming!
Hi Ed, Ordered a machine about 10 days ago...hope you got credit. I showed the video where you and your wife were playing to my wife and she said "get it, that looks fun". I am waiting for the mid April shipping and had a question about the phone app. Can I start setting up drills like the one you and your wife used at the kitchen line before I connect to a machine (via blue tooth)? If so, I haven't figured out how. Have you thought about a video teaching the phone app? Thanks Red.
Yes! I’m planning a series where I show you guys my custom drills I made and designed myself. You can start designing some yourself too without the machine, just using the phone app.
Quick question. ... When it changes direction, does the entire machine pivot or only internaly so not so easy to anticipate where it will place the next feed.
The machine pivots internally and you can see it. You will be able to anticipate to what side FH/BH it will launch the ball to. Now, depending the drills setting you select, you will not know how fast, what spin and where it will bounce. I'm happy with mine.
I have a Spinshot (had a Tutor Plus prior) which is a good machine as well. Doesn’t jam. This has some nice features, particularly the hopper and the swappable battery. Also the internal oscillation is nice and the brake for changing speeds rapidly.
Can a pickleball machine be consciously used at a crowded, free public park court maybe 20 minutes at a time, swapping out to waiting players-? Is this ethical and will other players complain? Otherwise, if I don’t have my own personal court, where, when and how would I be able to practice with the Titan? BTW…would love to see a side by side comparison with the Erne since it seems to have comparable specs but a few hundred dollars cheaper. Thanks for all of your informative videos!
I have some experience with it (and in the past had a similar experience with a tennis ball machine). The main problem is about hundred balls which unavoidably get scattered around. It is difficult to be a "good citizen" on a court with so many balls. You have a little better odds at "herding" the balls if you get a corner court and hit all balls diagonally into the corner, and your odds of not being a nuisance for everyone else are even better if concrete slab is slightly tilted so that balls have tendency to roll towards the fence or into the corner. Still, you will have to use only the shots which reliably go into the desired direction... My best known methods was show at the court very early in the morning, at sunrise, and leave around 8 am or when other players come. If you need to practice during busy hours, you will be bothering everyone else. Hit with a wall instead, it is also very useful.
Thank you for that info! I wish pickleball centers could rent out the Titan machine + court for the hour! It would be perfect for people to drill without a partner or for 2 people who just want to practice and not play rec games.
The other cool thing I heard about this is that you can create your own drills and then share them with the Titan community. You could have an Ed Ju (kitchen, singles, doubles, reset, etc) training routine and others could implement it with their Titan. Can you confirm this Ed? Thanks for your content!
took mine out today, but couldn't get my phone and machine together. what's the trick? do I have to put my personal hotspot on? what does the actual remote do other than pause the machine and change drills?
I personally have not used the Erne before- from what I have seen and from people telling me, I have heard that it was similar to the lobster champion. I didn’t feel like buying a machine that looked similar to the lobster haha.
@@edjupickleball you’ve got me very interested! lol going from the capacity from the lobster to the capacity of titan did you feel like it was a little annoying stopping sooner or did the capacity feel good for like doubles drill. I see the company sells an add on hopper. Sorry so many questions lol
@@shannonruble8085 The hopper is a bit small. It's about 84 balls tight, and with that many you have to be careful when refilling with tubes because they want to rush out and spill over. It means reloading more often. The hopper would be nice, but I'm not sure how that works for portability. The one advantage the Titan One has with this shape is zipping up the balls inside and taking it with you. It's kind of hard to carry two tubes and the machine with my paddle bag on my back, and then walking with it from my car to the far courts in my club. It looks like the Ernie has expanded their capabilities to compete with the Titan on the programmable drills. They are also introducing a 16 function remote. The Titan app, on the other hand, is a bit beta at this point. The QR code scanning doesn't even work on Android (at least from my experience). They say they're revamping it.
Ahh ok! Thanks for replying 😊 have you made any custom drills? I was curious how good it was for transition stuff as well?? Have you found its improved your game since getting it?
Yes, the Erne is the obvious comparison. Unfortunately, nobody is comparing them. Keep in mind that RUclips reviewers get paid for every machine sold through their referral link, which is a form of compensation. It's also likely they aren't paying the same price you and I are for these machines, even if they aren't getting them completely free.
The simulation is just to start the animation so you can see where the ball is going on the court, what height and speed, and what the following sequence is (if you enable it). It’s nice so you can position yourself accordingly so you don’t have to guess where the ball is going initially
Thank you! I often ask her to watch my videos before I post because she gives me great insight to whether something would make sense to a beginner. Love having her on set too!
I’ve tried the Tutor Spin, which looks similar to the spinshot. The titan is just on another league IMO. Until the other machines develop an app that works as well and improves convenience features like zip up top, detachable battery, and good portability- I won’t even consider buying another machine.
Thanks for the Review Ed!! The app sounds very cool and is a very important piece. I wish I knew about this machine before I made my purchase of "ERNE". What made me interested in Erne was their app along with the included remote. Looks like the lobster but works a little differently. Mine is on backorder and won't arrive until March. I live in New Hampshire and won't be playing outside until April. I could possibly cancel and go with the Titan. Looks like the Titan is out of stock until sometime in Feb. What's your thoughts on the different apps?
I can’t attest to the different apps as my lobster and tutor didn’t have one. The lobster did have preset drills on it, but to be honest I didn’t like them very much and it was a pain setting it up, running back and forth.
Thanks Ed for getting back and being honest! For me, the plus for the Titans over the ERNE is the ball containment/zipper and the battery as I have a bunch of those. It looks like the ERNE app might be much easier to use and precise and a free remote to stop play and adjust. I appreciate all you clips/ reviews of product etc and try to bring pieces into my game. I'm currently working on getting to be a 4.0 by summer. I find DUPR can be funny as to how the algorithms works at least in New Hampshire. @@edjupickleball
I bought the Erne too coming in March. They are supposed to be coming out with an updated version of the app this year otherwise I would’ve thought twice about it
Now that's a game changer so to speak in ball machines. My question is how does the Titan shoot a "flat ball"? I put my Tutor on a table net high at the Kitchen line to "blast" shots for fire fight practice.
That’s a good question! You can adjust the setting to no spin “aka flat”. Tbh I didn’t tinker around with the manual settings too much because I’m too lazy to try and tune it myself, but the kitchen dinks were mostly flat. I’m sure I can crank the speed, make spin 0, and it should be what you’re looking for. Just be careful not to practice hitting “out” balls :)
@@edjupickleball I was surprised to hear the battery life was as long as you said. That battery pack is basically a power tool battery. My guess is performance drops a bit as the battery drops off.
I wonder, why do you call it a game changer? The only totally new feature that I saw is a plug-in lithium battery. Everything else is already offered by other brands.
@@andreii.6094 Those titles cause people to click on things. It's why RUclips is full of titles like, "this ONE thing changed my game from 3.5 to 4.5!"
Awesome stuff Ed!!!! I’ve been saving up for a Slinger Bag but I might keep saving and get this one instead!!! Lol. With this thing shooting balls at 75mph I highly recommend wearing some sort of eye wear to protect your eyes!!! Not so much you but your wife.
Paying thousands of dollars upfront for a machine that is months out is an issue. The company should allow for a deposit (instead of paying all up front) until the equipment comes in. Hard pass on this…
Most small companies use lean project management until they know there's interest and they have historical data to help guide them. Until they have that they'll work with ordering a minimal amount of stock on their first PO to avoid overproduction and tying all their money up in product. As a consumer I know how annoying it is but if they just charged deposits at this point in the company's early age the overall price of the product would likely need to be higher. I'd rather pay less overall, imo.
The problem with machines that have apps is longevity, requiring updates etc which is a pro of the manual machines. Maybe we'll come back in 2 years and see
That's terrible marketing for them to estimate 2 hours battery life if you're getting 4 hours with half a battery left. They should say 6 hours or something. Much better selling point to know you can drill all day vs 2 hours.
Yeah I’m getting a lot of questions about how it compares to the Erne- I haven’t used it before, but I have heard that it was similar to the lobster champion. From the pictures, it looks very similar to the lobster champion so personally I was not enticed to buy one. Maybe someone here who has tried the Erne and lobster can attest to the similarities/differences?
I used the Erne a few days ago and it is very similar to this. Has preset and programmable drills by app. It shoots to various locations without the entire machine rotating. I have not used the Titan but based on this video the advantage of the Titan would be portability ease, internal ball storage and battery charging. So I guess do those things justify the extra cost for the person buying it. Thank you for the great review!

Titan or Ernie? Which is better?
I haven’t tried the Erne, but from what I’ve researched online, I think titan is more appealing due to the convenience factors.
@@edjupickleball Ernie can hold 130 balls I think: so little more than Titan. Also Ernie has app to use drills..

Until the other machines develop an app that works as well and improves convenience features like zip up top, detachable battery, and good portability- I won’t even consider buying another machine.
Spinshot has an app, has a few power options and it pretty portable. I use a simple mesh bag for the balls.

A big missed opportunity (selling factor) here is to use a commonly used battery such as DeWalt, Milwaukee, etc., vs a proprietary battery.
It uses Ryobi batteries. You can buy adapters for other brands. I tried it with a Makita battery and adapter and it worked.
I could see professionals using this one
Great review!

You sure you check their return policy as they charge 10% restocking fees and only for 30 days

That's terrible marketing for them to estimate 2 hours battery life if you're getting 4 hours with half a battery left. They should say 6 hours or something. Much better selling point to know you can drill all day vs 2 hours.
Thanks for putting the price early on so I can just skip the rest. These things are $500 at best with a decent profit.
Or... You could play real people.

What about comparing it against the Erne
Yeah I’m getting a lot of questions about how it compares to the Erne- I haven’t used it before, but I have heard that it was similar to the lobster champion. From the pictures, it looks very similar to the lobster champion so personally I was not enticed to buy one. Maybe someone here who has tried the Erne and lobster can attest to the similarities/differences?
I used the Erne a few days ago and it is very similar to this. Has preset and programmable drills by app. It shoots to various locations without the entire machine rotating. I have not used the Titan but based on this video the advantage of the Titan would be portability ease, internal ball storage and battery charging. So I guess do those things justify the extra cost for the person buying it. Thank you for the great review!
