Franklin Sports Ball Hopper Tube

Good way to pick-up pickleballs without bending over and over. Works good and is of quality workmanship. It isn't too heavy and it is color neutral. It is stable with good material (plastic). Be sure to understand that it does not come with pickleballs. You will have to buy them separately.

This is a useful device for picking up multiple pickleballs during practice. It’s weight is balance and it’s solid quality makes it an easy purchase. It’s the second one I’ve purchased since the other one was “borrowed” by someone who must’ve really liked it!

Great so far. Do not keep in your garage if your garage does not have insulation. The high temperature in the summer and low temperature in the winter made crack the exterior of the product overtime.

The Franklin Sports Pickleball Retriever Tube + Ball Holder is an absolute game-changer for practice sessions. If you use a ball hopper, this is a must-have accessory! It makes picking up balls effortless—no more bending over to collect them one by one. Just press the tube over a ball, and it picks it up instantly. The 12-ball capacity is perfect for drills, and it’s lightweight and easy to carry. It also attaches to a fence or bag, keeping balls organized and ready to go. The build quality is solid, and it works great on all court surfaces. If you want to save time and energy during practice, this is a must-have tool. Highly recommend for any pickleball player!

It's terrible for picking up pickleballs. The hole is too small, so you have to press really hard to get them in. We gave up using it almost immediately.

After you pick up some balls and fill the tube, you have to stop and take the rubber band off the bottom of the tube to empty the balls from the tube. It is much faster and easier to be able to dump the balls out of the top of the tube. I would like to file down the top in order to allow the balls to roll out. Also, when I received the tube, I thought that the tube did not work very well at all. I had to spend twice as long on each ball and sometimes the rubber band mechanism did not work well and multiple balls fell out of the bottom. The product that I received has one rubber band and only 2 hooks to attached it to. (see picture) The picture on the Amazon site shows 2 rubber bands and 6 hooks at the bottom The printed instructions that I received with the product do not discuss the rubber bands AT ALL. We use a different brand of ball retriever at our tennis center and there is no problem picking up balls and quickly dumping them into a basket from the top of the tube. I was disappointed in this product. And I wish I had received an updated model. I suggest that you do not buy this model unless you know exactly what you are receiving.

Solid product that works well. Easy to use and great for picking up Pickleball that gets scattered all over the court.

Works great! Can’t understand why I didn’t have one a long time ago! Fast shipping.

Decent unit, but not as good as the others that can hold 17

Was a gift and she loves it

Utile, mais pas longtemps, mauvaise conception, et il s'agit malheureusement d'un produit bon marché et mal conçu. Si vous avez la malchance de briser les petits mamelons fragiles à la base du tuyau les élastiques que crée la prise de balle ne tiens plus et il devient très difficile de saisir les balles, elles ne glissent pas très facilement par-dessus la balle.
