Tourna Hipster Ball Band for Holding Tennis Balls and Pickleballs

With the ball band, my granddaughter no longer has to delay games by going to the back of the court to get a second ball if she misses her first serve. Brilliant!

I just love this ball band! I wore it for the second time today and wow, it held 4 tennis balls comfortably and I don't feel it tightening or even notice it. Also, the balls slip in effortlessly. This is a great invention! I can wear anything now for tennis now, even these new pants that only have cell phone pockets. I had a hard time getting the tennis balls in them and there aren't really pants made for that purpose so this is the solution.

It works generally. I did size one size up from the recommended. Not sure if that is why it rolls up sometimes but I can hold like 6 balls. When I am rushing it does roll and twist but if I am taking my time it’s fine. It works with any pant or leggings I wear. At least I know it won’t crack or break like the other style ball holders and I can hold more.

My husband and I play a lot of tennis. We are on the courts for about 2 hours/day, 6 days a week. We live in Texas, so it’s very hot, we have temps in the 90s now. You can imagine how often I’m doing laundry. 😊 I’m often not left with the perfect skort/shorts that can hold balls (just wearing whatever is clean). And even my best ones, only hold 1-2 balls. Meanwhile, every single pair of my husband’s shorts have pockets that can hold 5-6 balls. I looked for a way to hold balls and not hinder my performance. I needed something unique to wear over any type of bottom. This hipster ball band looked good, I figured 3 balls was great. Well, I used it today and I was thoroughly impressed! First, it was the perfect fit, felt secure but not too tight. It looked like part of my shorts (a black band) when empty. I repeatedly held 6 balls in this band. 4 fit across the front, and although the balls were touching, I could quickly and easily pull one out while the rest stayed put. I could have fit the same, 4 balls, across the back, but I only kept 2 there. I bought a small and I have 32” hips and it was so comfortable, I didn’t even notice it there. I was able to play an aggressive game, running all over the court, and the balls not only stayed put, but were held so comfortably that I had to feel or look to see if I had any balls left. Really great product and idea.

I debated whether or not to buy this, but am so glad I did! With this, I can easily wear leggings when I play. If I'm just hitting against a wall, I usually hold 4 balls (in the back, 2 on each side of my spine), although it could hold more. And during a match where only as many as 3 balls are in play, I never need to hold more than 2 at any given time.It's super quick and easy to slip the ball under the band, and yet the balls are completely secure during play.The only cons:1. The band doesn't stay quite as flat as I hoped; the top stays put, but the bottom does tend to ride up a bit (if there are no balls in it). However, I simply adjust by tugging down on the bottom edge, right & left sides simultaneously -- but that's only once every 4-5 games during a match, at most, so it's not that big of a deal.2. When it's 90+ degrees and humid and I'm sweating all the way through my clothes, this band is drenched in sweat as well. So you're basically pinning the ball between two sweaty pieces of fabric (this band and your shorts/leggings). Not ideal. This also means that I want to wash it after each use, at least in this kind of weather.The band washes up nicely by hand or in the washer. I always let it air dry, and it dries quickly.But after over 20 hours of use, I'm back to buy a second band -- I want to have a spare in rotation so that I don't have to wash it daily.Totally satisfied!!

This is perfect for holding 4 Pickleballs. I usually place the balls in the back. It prevents me from catching a ball on my hip and ruining a shot. It washes well and retains its stretch after washing. I hang to dry.

What a great idea this would be if it had worked. Sadly, the tennis balls kept falling out of the fabric. It needed a pocket. The stretch nylon was too loose to keep balls in place. Women’s tennis weAr should have pockets!!

I got this fully expecting it to not work very well and I was totally proven wrong! This guy holds a lot of balls (max for me is 8) and you can bounce, run and jump without any fear that they’re going to fall out. I’ve been using it for a few weeks now without any issues. Yes you will look totally ridiculous with an outline of balls around your waist, but if you’re trying to look good while trying to play tennis...you’re focused on the wrong thing.
