MACHINE	COMPARISON
Edge Lite	Comparing Down The LITE is our entry-level machine. There is no “down” model to compare it with in our line up. Comparing Up The LITE does not have a feed delay feature or a heavy-duty battery, two features on the next model up, the SPORT.
Edge Lite R	Comparing Down The LITE-R is our entry-level machine. It has all the same features as the LITE but comes with a 2-button remote control. Comparing Up The LITE-R has the same two-button remote control as the STAR but does not have the heavy-duty battery of the SPORT or the STAR or delayed feed.
Edge Sport	Comparing Down The SPORT has two features that the LITE does not have: A delayed start of ball feed to allow the player to get to the other side of the court without wasting balls, and a heavy duty battery. Comparing Up The STAR, the next model up, has a remote control.
Edge Star	Comparing Down The SPORT, one model down, does not have a remote control. The SPORT is also not available with AC-DC power. Comparing Up The RIVAL, the next model up, has a 16-button remote control compared to the 2 button remote orf the STAR. The RIVAL also has a battery level indicator, digital displays for speed and spin, electronic elevation adjustment, three memories, a larger ball capacity (300 instead of 200) and a slightly larger body and rolling wheels. The RIVAL is not available in ACDC but is available in AC.
Scoop Rival	Comparing Down Compared to the STAR, one model down, the RIVAL has a 16-button remote control whereas the STAR has a 2-button remote. The STAR also lacks the battery level indicator, digital displays for speed and spin, the three memories and the electronic elevation adjustment of the RIVAL. The STAR has a smaller ball capacity (200 instead of 300) and slightly smaller body and rolling wheels. Comparing Up The next model up is the QUEST which has a 20-button remote control compared to 16-buttons for the RIVAL. The QUEST also has adjustable angles of oscillation, adaptive all-court (vertical and horizontal) oscillation and 2-line delivery. The oscillator on the QUEST parks itself in the center when done.

The QUEST also has adjustable angels of oscillation, adaptive all-court(vertical and horizontal) oscillation and 2-line delivery. The oscillator on the QUEST parks itself in the center when done. Comparing Up Although the QUEST offers just about everything one may wish for in a tennis ball machine, the Smart offers even more. Instead of the 20-button remote control of the Quest, the SMART has a 22-button remote control for the additional “Select-A-Drill” and “Match Playfeatures.
Scoop Smart	Comparing Down Compared to the QUEST, one model down, which has a 20-button remote control, the SMART has a 22-button remote control.
