Let me start off with a quick bit about me. I have been playing tennis for 11 years now, and ive been teaching/assisting/coaching for 9 years. I have taught for three different programs, and would do anything from large group, to private lessons on both hard and clay courts. I played on my high school tennis team, as well as my universities, and have traveled accordingly. So in my time, I have seen, used, and owned a number of different ball hoppers. Without a doubt, this is the best wire frame ball hopper I have ever used. It is also the best below 100 ball hopper I have ever used. It is well worth the 10 or 15 bucks it costs to upgrade from the cheaper model. You will not be disappointed. I cannot speak to how much longer this one will last over the cheaper alternatives, but I can without a doubt say it will last the longest, for many years if not decades to come. Here are a few features and details you may like to know.Pros:1. Great ball hopper, holds 75 which is more than I need for my current private needs. If you are giving serious lessons, it helps to have a larger basket, but for self practice, and hitting with friends, and fun lessons with friends. It works wonderfully.2. Clearly well made with all the welds and is a lot more sturdy than any cheaper alternative, or any other wire ball basket ive encountered in my time. The coating on the wires shows no sign of wear after around a month of use.3. The floating rails on the bottom are really neat, great ingenuity. Makes picking up balls that much easier and a little less impact on your arms.Cons: (If you can actually consider these that)1. On one of the legs, there is a metal ball welded to it. I can only assume this is to make it so when the handles are up and touching, they secure. Great thought/feature! It was just poorly executed. The handles still stay up great, but they do not secure into each other as intended. If you are going to add a cool feature like that, you've got to do it well.2. If you bring up the legs before you close the basket, the basket will hit, and possibly latch on to the crossbar of the leg. Is this a big deal, not at all, I've run into it only a few times, but its just a little gripe.All in all, great little basket. Sturdy, well made, will last a long time, and you will definitely be satisfied. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I needed a ball hopper that I could take to a public court and would fit in my car. The 110 size was nice because of the handles that fold. HOWEVER, it’s heavier and awkward size because of the larger capacity. It works well to keep all the balls contained and has the ability to be stand to feed yourself (or someone else) feed you balls without bending over. The paint finish is meh. The paint also scraped with assembly. Instructions are included but could be more user friendly - larger, clearer text and better pictures. The handles flop around in the up position. It really needs a friction lock or a simple hook. Be careful in the garage or apartment because those handles will flop on your car, furniture or floor and will defiantly damage something.

I looked at the pictures and thought this hopper follows a more traditional design and therefore can be a good pickup for a cheap price. Boy was I wrong!The overall weight is very light, lighter than what I remembered the hopper I used in the 1980s. But while putting together it was obvious the materials are very flexible. This is not a good idea on the handles and the cover:* In pick-up mode (or transporting mode), the basket can be twisting back and forth with full load of balls. One of the handles would then unepxectly detach itself from the basket, sending 70+ balls onto the ground!* In transitioning the handle to be come the stand (or vice versa), the circular hooks acting as hinge would come lose EVERY time.* In serve setup, the handle side bars that become the legs of the stand could not stay in place when a tennis ball hits the basket from many angles, thereby spill entire basket of balls onto the court!All these could've been fixed just by having an extra welded bar between the two sides of the handle to reduce the flexing. It wouldn't be needed for stronger metal, but definitely needed for the flimsy materials.I classify this as a defective design and really no one has to go through this, whether using it couple of times a month or couple of times a day. It's so infuriating and caused me high blood pressure just to deal with it. I'm returning it. Do yourself a favor, spend a little bit more extra for a more robust model, the Hi-Rise 75 GOLD (I did). I don't recall I ever gave a 1 star review, but this flimsy product really deserves it.

Nice product received it on time was price lesser than other places. I liked it so far.

Very sturdy, constructed for major use I.e. tennis clubs-professionals.Would suggest a size down for an individual using a couple times per week.

Viene muy amplio le caben suficientes pelotas !!!

Picks ball very nicely, handle works good but when handles are folded as legs, it’s very flimsy, with the ball weight basket easily drop down as soon as legs slide open. There should be a mechanism to hold legs. Wheels came of very first day, but not a big issue.

The handle/stand mechanism is very simple and the paint chips off these areas quickly, and the lid popsOff sometimes- but, it’s crazy convenient and makes tennis practice and casual play so much easier and fun. Construction is v sturdy without it weighing a ton. Def good buy.
