This ball collector is such a time saver, especially during family games at the park—it picks up balls quickly and holds a lot without being bulky. My husband uses it for pickleball and my kids even help clean up now. Perfect for busy families who like to play hard. I highly recommend.

This is a very simple, easy-to-use gadget. You may not need it when playing with others, but I love it when I am hitting off of a wall or the Pickleball-specific net I ordered for practicing. It is great, because I can hit all of the balls into the net and if one goes astray, I will just get it later!

This ball pickup hopper exceeded my expectations. I've been using a traditional ball pickup tube for pickleball drilling sessions for many months. But you still pick balls up one at a time and the tubes typically hold 12-15 balls. This ball collector/hopper can pick up multiple balls at once and you don't have to "aim" to target a single ball. Just press it down over the area of one or more balls and they get picked up. It holds way more balls than a pickup tube. I did notice that the balls can easily pass between the springs on the bottom, which means it is also easier for them to slip back out if you pick the basket up too fast. But I also noticed that this is less of an issue as you have more balls in the hopper and this provided to be a non-issue in actual use. The build seems somewhat light duty, but I can't argue with how well this seems to work and it is mostly metal construction aside from the mesh that makes up the hopper walls. This is much better than using a pickup tube.

Wow this little tool really works! I was quite impressed when I first tried it out because it can pick up a lot of balls. Sure it's perfect for picking up pickleballs but it also works great for tennis balls, wiffle balls and other balls of similar weight. As for baseballs, it will pickup some of those too but not a lot because they weigh more and will fall out the bottom.This little basket hopper has a pretty large capacity and is easy to expand and then fold up when not in use. It is very lightweight and portable. Of course the best thing is it saves your back from bending over so many times to pick up balls while practicing.The bottom of the unit is lined with a series of springs that flexes when you push down to pick up a ball. Once expanded the balls pop right into the hopper and you just repeat these steps. All in all you save time when cleaning up balls and your back will thank you many times over!

This ball picker is easy to use and holds 36 pickleballs. The springs work well and you can pick up several balls at a time. It does pick up balls that are along side the chain link fence but I have been moving them away from the fence with my foot. It holds twice as many balls as my pickup tube which is a huge plus for me. This is compact and light weight so it is easy to take to the court when I practice. The metal frame and handle are sturdy and will not break and it is very stable when sitting on the ground so it won't get knocked over or blow away by the wind. It would be great if it had a top cover so it could be used for storing balls but this is a great value and super convenient to have.

This is a very handy combination ball basket, ball retriever unit. It's very easy to assemble (just slide the handle pieces in place until they lock) and is adjustable for height. The bottom is a series of springs that will allow you to pick up tennis or pickleball balls without having to bend over to do it. And, lets face it, the older you get the better it is when bending is not in the equation. When you're done picking up balls there's no need to have to store them in another container because this basket will hold several dozen balls. Highly recommend!
