GoSports Pickleball & Tennis Pickup Tube - Ball Retreiver and Holder, Fits 14 Pickleballs or 17 Tennis Balls - No Balls Included

The media could not be loaded. I’ve been using this pick up tube for a couple of months now, and I don’t go to a drill session without it. You wouldn’t think that you’d need it until you’ve tried it. It really helps to relive some tension off of your body when you’re picking up many balls during practice sessions. It’s lightweight, durable, and straight forward to use. The only issue I’ve come across is when balls are made a tad bigger, they will get a little stuck and you have to use a little extra force to get it out. Otherwise this is a great product to add to your drilling arsenal. This + the go sports ball caddy is an incredible duo!

Got it to replace an older Slinger tube, that won't pick up most balls anymore. This lightweight tube seems cheaply made, but works well, at least for now. I'd like it a lot more at $15.

When they designed the inside diameter they didn't make it large enough to account for the thickness of the collar that hold the upper and lower tubes together. So when filled the upper tube balls get stuck trying to pass by the connector collar. Pain in the ass. I honed off the collar lip inside and gorilla clued the upper tube in the collar to help eliminate the snag. Still not perfect but a little better. If the sticking persists I'm sending it back for a refund.

Haven't used it yet on the court but I tested it at home and it picks up balls easily. I did notice that the clip of the strap that attaches on the bottom hits the ground before the tube. I can see how it can be damaged like it is stated in several reviews.

Not sure if it's only Amazon PCKL balls, (no problem with any other balls) they seem to be the only ones that get stuck in the tube, I have sent a note to the manufacturer that has yet been answered. Hard on the balls you are picking up, and poor design of placing the strap clip on the pickup side of the tube, snapping off the clip making the strap no longer usable. Company very quick on following up and addressing this. I would advise not to use the strap while picking up balls. UPDATE: Manufacturer covered warranty. No design change, tabs wore off, Next time I will look for something better.

The opening is too tight. Very difficult to collect and then empty balls.Having it come in two pieces is convenient but if not perfectly put together hinders ball collection and emptying procedure.

These were the cheapest pickup tubes I saw online and they pretty much do the job. They are very easy to assemble and I like that they can break down to half the size for easy transport even inside my pickleball machine! It was a little difficult to press the balls in to the front end and Im not sure if thats bad design or just has to get worked in. On the other hand, using the back end with the elastic band is actually much smoother of a ball collection, although it was meant to just keep the balls in the tubes from leaking out before emptying the balls into the machine. Overall, very happy and would recommend!

Exactly what I wanted. Holds 17 balls. I keep 1 in my pocket to make an even 18 (since cans of balls come in 3’s). Not too heavy even when filled. Strap is sturdy & hangs well on hooks at courts or at home. No need to bend over to pick up balls.

Nice product
