 Pick Up One Today May 2, 2010

If you play a lot of tennis and practice a lot, seriously consider getting a ball hopper like this. Why do you need one? Basically because it's a more efficient way to pick balls up off the ground and will save your back. How does it do this?
Well, with the handles in the "up" position, the hopper is pretty close to the ground when you carry it, so all you have to do is set the thing down over a tennis ball. Since its got this neat little one-way trapdoor on its base, that lets balls in the cage but not out- whallah- you just picked up a ball without ever bending over!
As you can tell, hoppers are great inventions, as I can't imagine trying to bend over and pick up 20 or 30 (or more) balls off the ground without one. Also, when the hopper is full of balls, you can fold the handles down into legs and use it as a stand to hold your balls while you practive serves and such. Sturdy and easy to put together (4 screws), its definitely a must if you're into tennis. Other items I can recommend for tennis players include Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow.

I received the Wilson Ball Hopper extremely quickly from Amazon, despite choosing the Free Shipping option. It was easy to assemble, and works very nicely. Really useful when you go out to hit balls by yourself. I'd give it 4.5 stars if possible, because the mechanism for locking and unlocking the legs/handle bars is a tad less-than-ideal. This has only been a small inconvenience to this point, since I've only used it with around 25 balls so far.

Love this hopper. A must have and a real back-saver. Solid design yet light even when full.

I've heard about the top lid coming off but that only happens when it's in the trunk of my car, on court usage doesn't cause it to happen. The metal isn't flimsy at all, it's quite durable. The handles sometimes come out of its sockets if you swing it too hard but that's no issue, it is very easy to reattach. Just drop this basket on a ball and the ball pops in; balls wont come out even if the basket is full. I do not believe it will hold 75 balls, I am at 60ish or so.
