lukar Sport Tennis Court Squeegee, Stainless Steel Rain Shuttle Squeegee Floor, Heavy Duty Water Remover with EVA Foam Blade and 360° Rotatable Wheels for Sport Courts, Garages

This is a quality tool for collecting tennis balls on a smooth court. I tried it to move water off of my patio but it doesn’t seem to do that well unless the water is deep. The rubber catches too much on the surface if you push it along the concrete. That isn’t the real purpose of this tennis ball collector, although they say it can be used for that purpose, so I’m not taking stars off for that.

If you're serious about tennis / pickleball and you want to keep your play area in top condition, then rain maintenance is a huge part of your routine.Most people come out and try to use the rollers like a big sponge rather than as a water "pusher" to spread the water out across the court as evenly as possible to allow it to air dry.Unless you have a large, professional heated court dryer, then MOVING the water is really the name of the game.For that, you need two tools, primarily - you need a rain shuttle (like this) for moving large volumes of water at a time, and you need a roller (like a Rol-Dri) for the detail work.Using things like leaf blowers can be somewhat helpful, but the primary use for these types of rain removal devices is to SPREAD the water out, thinning out puddles from low spots across a wide area of the court so that it can quickly air dry.This rain shuttle is great for moving large puddles over to the corners or off of the court so they can be swept with push broom, for example. They aren't meant to get the court bone dry. They are meant for moving large amounts of water across the court to the corners where they can be spread out, brushed out, or rolled.This, in combination with a roller will make getting your courts dry significantly easier.Construction wise, it's a bit on the light side which is good for moving it around, but you'll need to take your time.You may need to adjust the position of the rubber / foam "blade" to make sure it's in flat contact with the ground, but that's pretty easy. You can replace the blade as well or (as I like to do) you can honestly make your own with sheets of rubber or stiff foam.It's a terrific piece of equipment that takes a bit of practice to get the most out of. If you're serious about court maintenance, it's a great tool to add to your kit!
