GAMMA Sports EZ Travel Cart, Tennis & Pickleball Hopper, Padel, Portable Compact Design, Sturdy Lightweight Construction, EZ Bags, 150 or 250 Capacity, Premium Carrying Case Included

I'm an independent tennis coach, so having a cart that rolls around is an important item as it reduces down time during my lessons. However, as I teach on public, outdoor courts, I also need to have something that is portable and easily carried back and forth between my car and the courts. Enter the Gamma EZ Travel Cart. The wheels are smooth, and the cart is perfectly balanced. It doesn't suffer from the subtle "limp" that sometimes even more expensive carts may have. The cart can really hold up to 150 balls, and possibly a few more if you want to pile a few extra on top. It's sturdy, and the bag part stays perfectly in place because it has clips on all four corners to secure it on to. When you're done with it, just remove the bag, collapse the frame, and put them into the tube bag specifically included to store it. Nice and tidy. Oh yeah. So what's the surprise feature? Well... two of the wheels actually have a little pedal on them. One end says 'ON' and the other 'OFF', as in, brakes on and brakes off. This was an awesome touch, and I find myself using it all the time. Especially if it gets a little windy, as the cart has a tendency to run away from you if you don't put the brakes on. My only concern is that I may wear it down prematurely. Apart from that, I am extremely satisfied with how well-designed this cart is. NOTE: To prevent confusion, I should state that this isn't technically a "ballhopper". It doesn't "hop" around picking up balls, and in fact the ball holder isn't even so much a structured cart as it is a tough, square bag. The cart part is really just the apparatus (a collapsible frame, if you will) that holds the bag in its square shape. With that said, this cart is an extremely good investment for me.

I am not a natural athlete. I have to practice quite a bit to improve, especially on my serve. In the past I have used a ball hopper (metal basket that you can pickup balls with and then invert the handles to stand the hopper up to waist height to get to the balls easier). This has been ok, but the inverted handles weren't that stable and the hopper would occasionally fall over when I was taking balls out of it. Also, as I was picking up balls with it, I found that as the hopper got fuller, it was harder to pick up additional balls. The Gamma Ez Travel Cart is solidly constructed and easily assembled and disassembled. Once disassembled it has a low profile in its carrying case in the trunk of my car. The nylon ball bag that comes with the cart is durable and is quickly secured to the four corners of the cart by small straps with clips. If I'm in a hurry, I don't necessarily bother with the straps as the nylon fittings at the corners of the bag fit over the corner supports of the cart and keep the bag open. The zip secured mesh cover keeps the balls in the bag when I have it in the back of my car. The wheels for the cart can be locked or unlocked. So far I am just leaving them unlocked and it is easy to move the cart from place to place during tennis practice. The ball bag in the cart is at a perfect height for me to get the balls out (I'm 6' tall) and unlike the ball hopper/pickup item I previously used, there is no danger of tipping the EZ cart over if I'm a little too enthusiastic in getting a ball out of the container. The Ez cart is not designed to pickup balls. So I've matched it up with a "Unique Tennis Tube 21 Ball Pickup" (available on Amazon). It's a long plastic tube that easily and quickly allows me to pickup tennis balls. This combination has allowed me to maximize the number of serves I hit in a one hour practice on a rented court during the winter months. Very little time is wasted in setting up, picking up balls or packing up at the end of a practice session. The Gamma Ballhopper Ez Travel cart is a great product and I'm glad I purchased it.

Great lightweight cart with bag & carry case. Great value for a good price!

I had to save up for this one because it is a little pricey. I actually bought a used one to save another 10-20 bucks and it turned up basically looking new. I am Pro Tennis Coach in San Diego, and work at various facilities now so I had to invest in this. It travels well in my car (no noise), easy to transport and set up takes a few seconds. It really is ideal for the wandering coach/player. I got the one that holds the least amount of balls, and it is more than enough for my lessons. Highly recommend this- the other products on the market didn't sell me on their durability/easy setup like this one did.

comparing to the old school wire baskets: pros: wheels make it easy to shift to different locations around, fabric is light, no more lugging around a heavy basket of balls, good height to feed balls from and all around very easy to use. cons: the fabric is a bit lightweight and I'm not sure how long it will last. The frame, while light, seems fairly fragile, so wondering if it'll keep up with the test of time, the tabs to lock the bag to the frame takes a short bit of time to secure which is annoying, wish there were a quicklock system to speed up process of locking the bag onto the frame. all in all, excellent tool and certainly worth the cost

This is what the pros use! The quality difference between this and the cheaper ones is very noticable Those are built of thinner material, are wobbly and quality suspect. But this is very solidly built, glides smoothly, wheen locks work well, and is build to perform well and to last Well worth spending a little extra for a quality product

Just like the original except now these metal snaps instead of the plastic clips. Great value

Me gusta la cualidad del producto y que se puede transportar de manera fácil. El precio es algo caro.

war ein Geschenk und der Sportlehrer fand das material sehr gut
