User questions & answers

Question:	What's the difference between hi-rise, risette and hoppette? I am looking for one that holds around 50 balls, and that can stand up? Thanks

Question:	Does this work with kids' tennis balls
Answer:	33 inches. Just received mine.
Question:	I just need a set of wheels. Can you help
Answer:	It can hold about 50 tennis balls,works well, and be strong enough. For baseball, I think maybe hold 30 and strong enough. Attention:If using to pick up, baseball is too big.
Question:	Can I easy pickup balls using this basket or is only to carry
Answer:	You should pick up the ball carrier, carry it over to the tennis ball and kinda drop it (while still holding on to the carrier) onto the ball. The tennis ball should slide between the bars on the bottom of the carrier.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the dimensions? I found 2 different answers: 27.1 x 13.8 x 2.2 inches and 14" long, 9" wide and 12" tall
Answer:	I've owned the hi-rise for over a year now and the ball hopper has worked pretty well. The hi-rise model function's both as a ball pick-up carrier and a ball stand when the handles are folded down. From what I can tell the hoppette may hold more ball than the hi-rise, but does not have the ball stand design so it would only function as a ball pick-up and ball storage apparatus. I play tennis about once a week and the hi-rise works well for one or two players. I would recommend this product.
Question:	Hello, i got it just now. But there are no wheels in a box. Can you send me
Answer:	As far as I know it should work. I don't believe that there is a size difference between kids tennis balls and regular tennis balls. My son loves the ball hopper and he says it works great.

User questions & answers

Question:	Would this work to pick up pitching machine baseballs as they are not solid and have some "give" to them
Answer:	It definitely needs to be picked up. It's a simple ball hopper and has no wheels. You wouldn't want to drag it as it would do damage to the tennis court. After 10-14 balls are picked up, the weight of the hopper and balls is enough to overcome the resistance of the other balls being picked up by the hopper. Just place over the other balls being picked up and you don't even need to apply any pressure pushing down. Make sense? I bought mine a few years ago and bring to the court whenever I go. The manufacturing seemed good at the time.
Question:	Will this hold the slightly larger wilson starter tennis balls (red/yellow tennis ball for beginners
Answer:	With the basket in hand, punch down on the tennis ball. This action will slightly deflate the ball and it will pass through the wires.
Question:	Does this basket feel sturdy and strong
Answer:	No, it is a ball hopper not a cart. Sounds confusing with what the description is but this product is made to pick up balls.
Question:	Is this used only for holding and transporting balls or can this help in collecting balls too
Answer:	The handle and cage come separated. Each side has 2 bolts and 2 nuts used to fasten the handle to the cage. Very easy assembly.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it come with balls
Answer:	52 what ? Kg , Lbs , STI ?? and 70 what ?
Question:	Does this bag have a shoulder strap
Answer:	yeah, I use this machine fixed over 50 times. The clamps are for the tennis, however, those are also work on badminton. I suggest you do not use this 2 points machine with high tension(25+), because I broke 3 rackets with 25. If you don't care the money, I suggest you buy a 6 points machine which is much safer for the high tension.
Question:	Does the latest edition come with the plastic bottom insert? It reads gamma ballhopper and has button snaps
Answer:	I believe the PROGRESSION 200 base is made of steel while the X2 is all aluminium alloy. I would suggest getting the X2 as there woild be no rust issues and its lighter.
Question:	What is the shipping weight and dimensions of the package
Answer:	I believe it comes with 7? The quality varies. Some sets are very cheap synthetic gut (good for practice!) and some are really good, like a hybrid set with both natural gut and poly). It gave me a chance to try different strings to determine what I liked most and could afford. Most of the sets you get are priced at $6 but some of the sets they give you are as high as $12 (like the gut/poly). For the cost of restringing by a pro at $20 * 7 strings, this thing pays for itself. I'm a string breaker, I have restrung my racket for an entire year, saving so much money.

Product description

The Ballhopper BallTube™ 18 from Gamma lets you quickly and easily pick up tennis balls with the use of special end caps. The BallTube can hold up to 18 tennis balls and comes with an integrated fence clip for hanging and easy ball dispensing. The adjustable shoulder strap allows for convenient portability.

Question:	Does this pick up pickleballs
Answer:	Yes, works with "orange dot" balls
Question:	does this pickup/carry the kids orange/yellow ball and the adult USTA League Tennis ball
Answer:	It would be considered hard grade, much stronger than a water bottle (which would be way too flimsy to pick up tennis balls). Very sturdy and picks the balls up quite well. Great for practicing serves. My tennis club has many of these to us for kid clinics as well as adults. I would recommend this product.
