Product Description

By entering your model number, you can make sure that this fits.
PLACE THE BALL TUBE ON TOP OF THE TENNIS BALL AND PRESS DOWN TO PICK UP THE BALL. The tennis ball is pushed into the tube by a rubber flange inside the end cap.
DISPLAY BALLS: Hang the Ball Tube on a chain link fence with the rubber band end facing the ground to dispense balls. To make an opening for a tennis ball to fall into your hand, slide the rubber band away from the center.
FILL BASKET OR CART: To use as a traditional ball pickup, collect balls until the Ball Tube is full, then dump them into a Ball Hopper Basket or a teaching cart.
EASY TO TRANSPORT: When empty, the Ball Tube is very light. Simply place the Ball Tube shoulder strap over your shoulder when the Ball Tube or your hands are full.
QUICK CLEANUP: During lessons, clinics, or camps, use Ball Tube pickup activities for players to help clean up the court.

Questions & Answers

Does this pick up/carry both the orange/yellow ball for kids and the adult USTA League Tennis ball for adults?

This will pick up both, but older fuzzless balls may fall through the cracks.

I'm curious about the tube's diameter. ?

2 1/2 in.

Would wiffle softballs be picked up by this? 12 inches in diameter?

It should if they are the same size as tennis balls; however, getting them out relies on a little gravity, and the light weight of the wiffle balls may make it more difficult for them to come out because the open is just the right size to allow the balls to pass through, and the heavier the ball, the better.

Do not make a purchase
3/5

This isn't going to work. Picking up the ball necessitates a lot of force. When you turn over, you won't be able to empty all of the balls. I tried the opposite way by reversing the ends. Neither of these methods worked. This item is not recommended in any way!.

The rubber flange is too easily worn out
3/5

The rubber flange that keeps the balls inside the tube begins to wear out after a few months of use, and balls that have lost some of their fuzziness can no longer be picked up. I borrowed my son's coach's Penn tube and noticed that it has a hard plastic flange that allows it to pick up balls that the gamma tube cannot. To replace this tube, I ordered a Penn tube.

Making it more enjoyable to pick up tennis balls
5/5

When I teach, I keep four of these on the court. The transparent tubes are appealing to me. It's a great motivator for kids to see who can pick up 18 balls first when it's time to pick up the balls, and I switched out of the traditional baskets because they're easier and more compact to carry in my trunk. They've made me very happy. It was simple to carry all four on my back at the same time.

Although it is a good idea, it does not keep the balls in place
3/5

I like the idea of using this hopper to pick up tennis balls, but it can only hold about 10 balls before they all fall out due to the weight of the balls. To keep the "rubber band" from separating when it's full, it needs to be redesigned. I also like how the hopper is hung from a hook.

Balls will not be held
3/5

I've discovered that the end of the rubber band that is supposed to hold the balls in place is ineffective. It's either too difficult to get the balls into the tube or the tube is too loose to keep them in while I pick up other balls. This is dependent on where the rubber band adjustment is placed. I've tried a few different configurations, but none of them seem to work well. I'm not sure how other reviewers seem to be getting along with theirs, but I'd like to exchange the one I have for one that works; it's just a pain in the neck.

The package was damaged when it arrived
3/5

Do not purchase a tube that has been previously used. We felt good about ordering this used tube, but that all changed when we tried to use it for the first time and discovered that the band was broken! We started a return, but forgot to deliver it to the post office; I only realized it today, but the return date had already passed. The $38 is now gone. Do not buy a tube that has already been used.

'Flimsy Plastic Severed in Two Pieces' is a phrase used to describe a piece of flimsy plastic that has been cut into two pieces   Having a large number of balls to pick up is critical for any tennis instructor
3/5

This Gamma Ball Tube is available in TWO different colors. the materials I had previously purchased the RED one, which miraculously lasted over 5 YEARS. Regrettably, the TRANSPARENT one, which appears to be made of different materials, cannot be said. The red one appeared to contain a small amount of elasticity (e. g. This transparent one appears to be made of crispier HARD, most likely cheap, plastic, and thus can withstand more impact from occasional drops to the court surfaces, especially with younger kids learning to play tennis for the first time. I couldn't believe the state it was in; after only a month of use, the top of the tube had broken off and was severed from the rest of the tube. I was furious, especially because the transparent one was much more expensive than the red one ($50 vs $35), and I got a subpar quality ball pickup tube! I would strongly advise against purchasing this tube; not only was it of poor quality, but it was also quite costly.

It's very easy to use and convenient
5/5

Is it really necessary to have so many practice balls? It's very easy to use and convenient. Unless you're working with a ball machine that can launch over 100 balls, how many practice balls do you really need? br>br>It's a lot more convenient than lugging around a heavy ball basket. For service practice, I only need a dozen or so balls, and it's simple to keep the tube full of relatively new balls and hang it on the back fence for rallying with a partner or service practice.
