Tennis Ball Hopper Tennis Ball Basket Portable Pickleball Hopper Picker Upper Caddy Metal Pickleball Ball Retriever Holder with Handle for Easy Pickup

Don’t overfill the weight will make it harder to pop the balls in from bottom! Overall it is GREAT!

So, let's talk about this tennis ball hopper. On one hand, it does a decent job picking up balls, and I love that you can flip it over to use as a stand. It rolls smoothly, and for holding a bunch of balls, it's quite handy.But, and there's always a but, there are a couple of quirks. There seems to be a design flaw with the legs – the middle section can get a bit wonky. It doesn't feel very stable or sturdy, especially when you have it upside down as a stand.Assembly was not great. Putting it together is a bit of a puzzle. The instructions aren't the clearest, and I had a tougher time than expected. The pictures didn't play nice, and those tabs that hold it together can be a pain to deal with. But, once you crack the code, it works fine.Speaking of cracking, there's this thing about the handles not locking in place when you lift them. You can kind of fix it with a zip tie, but it's annoying. Also, the mechanism for picking up balls is a spring, not a flexible metal wire, and it has its moments of catching and stretching.On the plus side, it's lightweight, and you can snag a bunch of balls during practice without feeling like you're carrying a ton of bricks.So, in a nutshell, it does the job, but you might need to put in a little extra effort to make it play nice. Good for lighter use, but if you're planning for an intense tennis session, you might want to keep your options open.

Very hard to put together.

It holds 24 balls and is easy to set up so you can collect the balls when you are practicing.

Great to have the ball picker- upper, but I feel like I am wrestling with this loose cage as I use it

Great for holding 2-dozen balls

Not the easiest ball hope to put together. This is okay for someone who is simply trying to have fun It does work as described, once it is properly assembled, the hopper does work effectively. I simply am not a fan of the design itself unfortunately.

We recently started learning and playing tennis, and if you spend any time practicing, you know how annoying it is to pick up all those stray balls—especially after practicing serves. Hoppers like this one make the process faster and more convenient: no more bending over to pick up balls; you just position the hopper over the ball, push down, and voila—it’s back in the hopper, ready to use, take elsewhere, or store.Now, I call this a “mini-hopper” because I’m used to the larger ones that hold around 30-40 balls; this one holds about half that number (or maybe even slightly less) Also, because it’s smaller, you won’t be able to pick up two balls that are close together at one time, like you can sometimes do with the larger hoppers. The handles of larger hoppers can also be flipped down to create a “stand” for larger hoppers, placing them at waist-height and making it more convenient to reach in and grab balls from…you won’t be able to do that with this smaller version. All that aside, however, this particular hopper will be a great fit for people who may not be practicing with a lot of tennis balls and need a quick way to gather the ones they are using, without taking up all the space of a full-sized hopper.
