Tourna Mini Ballport Tennis Ball Pick Up Hopper

I absolutely love the Tourna Mini Ballport Tennis Ball Picker! It’s the perfect size for personal practice sessions or coaching a small group. Despite being compact, it holds a surprising number of balls and makes pickup so quick and easy – no more bending over constantly! The lightweight design is a huge plus, and it’s very sturdy for its size. The handles fold down effortlessly and double as legs, which makes it super convenient to use and store. Whether you’re a coach, a player, or a tennis parent, this little ballport is a total game-changer. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now, and it has saved me so much time and effort on the court. Highly recommend – I’d definitely buy it again!

I started teaching my son to play tennis recently and wanted something to hold a medium amount of balls, could fit easily into my trunk, and wasn't heavy. That almost immediately eliminated most metal ball baskets from my selection. The Mini Ballport seemed to fit the bill quite nicely. Despite some of the less-than-favorable reviews on Amazon, I decided to give it a shot anyway especially since it wasn't that expensive. Upon unpacking it, the unit looked OK. The plastic seems sturdy enough, but certainly isn't a high-grade ABS plastic which is too bad. I would be more than happy to pay a little extra for something of better quality materials. The assembly instruction sheet is laughably bad. Sure, it gives step-by-step directions but the accompanying picture actually makes it more confusing and is counter-intuitive to what you actually need to do. Seriously, get someone to redo this! Like other reviewers have mentioned, the sides come a little warped and it takes some coaxing to line up the screw holes. I managed to do it on my own, but it would be much easier with two people with one person holding the sides in place while the other person puts the screws in. I've used it a few times on the court and have to say this is a great little hopper. The handles inverse and lock into place to become a stand. The top design has sliding bars which snap into a locked position to keep the balls from rolling around in your trunk. The "rolling bar" design on the bottom lets you pick up balls without having to bend over. You just bounce this thing on a ball and it pops into the basket from below. And the bars are just close enough so that balls don't escape from the bottom. Brilliant! Note that this only holds about 32-33 balls if you actually intend to close it properly. I tried 36 balls and there was no way those top bars were going to close. Still, 32-33 balls is plenty for practicing serves or feeding balls to your kids. Overall, a very good purchase and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a conveniently-sized ball basket!

This could be one of the best values on Amazon for around 20 bucks... Simply put, assembly is a breeze, materials are solid and high quality, the functionality is perfect. Any review saying this is hard to put together or made of low quality materials is either a competitor or someone who has never opened the item. The main body is a hardened plastic like a shopping crate, So it is light, strong and will never rust. It is engineered very well and after 5 to 10 minutes of assembly you have the best ball hopper money can buy.

Had my 10-y/o son assemble it. He succeeded. (So it's easy to assemble!) The only problems that concern: • The panels kind of warp where screwed together; time will tell if stress fractures occur. • The top bars that slide open/closed are stiff; we SLIGHTLY rounded the bar edges used a little vaseline. UPSIDES: • Lighter than metal. • Won't rust. • Folding handles/standing legs. • Holds 11 cans of balls! • Easily decorated/personalized. When we bought it, the price was right. Thus, I recommend.

Plastic panels deformed, making sliding rods on top to get stuck. At a time, balls also get clogged, making it hard to pick new balls. Get something else….

Es de plastico resistente facil de armar, es pequeña entran 36 pelota de tenis. solo que con el peso se abren las patitas...le puse un alambre

Pro: Creative design and easy carry. Con: Improve on the installation manual=confused where to place the 2 short rods vs the 2 longer rods.

Komplett instabil das Teil! Da nehme ich lieber einen Mülleimer!!!

Perfect, easy to assemble. Just the size and ball capacity I was looking for. Note that due to its size, the basket is not really stable when too windy. Very happy customer.

人に教えたくないくらい、良い商品です。 一人練習のときにかなり便利です。
