Tennis Ball Hoppers - Simple, Essential Tennis Accessories For Your Tennis Practice Sessions

The seemingly simple tennis ball hopper is infact a multi-purpose indispensable tennis tool for carrying, collecting, dispensing and storing tennis balls. It's an invaluable aid to a tennis instructor and a perfect accompaniment to your tennis ball machine.

They come in many sizes to enclose a handful to hundreds of tennis balls, but 70 - 80 is a common number. It obviously makes sense to get a ball hopper of similar size to your ball machine's hopper.

Many tennis ball hoppers have handles that become legs and vice versa as required; the best can be quickly and easily converted from one to the other and lock in position securely to prevent any spills. When in ball dispensing position, you'll find the tennis balls at a comfortable height to save your back.

Some tennis ball holders also 'double' as ball pick-up devices that'll help your back even further. Just position the hopper above the tennis ball in carrying mode and gently press to allow the ball to enter the flexible one-way entrance.

Once the hopper's full again and you've finished for the day, just shut tight the lid for transportation, so you won't end up with a vehicle full of loose tennis balls! Some hoppers even have lockable lids for safe storage of your tennis balls

Gamma produce some of the world's most popular ball hoppers and the Gamma Hi Rise 75 Tennis Ball Hopper is foremost amoungst them. It's built to last, has an easy ball pick up feature and a ball containing lid, and is extremely good value.

A bit less known, but no less innovative is the Hop-a-Razzi Hop Classic 90. It'll save you having to carry it's 90 tennis balls with it's durable wheels, and telescopic towing handle that easily adjusts between adult and child settings. The stackable hopper itself is one of the lightest available and comes in a variety of bright colors.

For such an apparently simple device, the perfect ball hopper needs quite a few components to be just right. The Unique Pete Sampras Ballport 80 Ball Holder maybe just such a tool.

One common 'fault' in ball hoppers is inaccurate description as to the number of tennis balls that can be carried. This Unique ball hopper holds the number of balls it says it does, without having to carefully position them around the basket.

It's made of incredibly durable and light polypropylene plastic, which isn't going to peel paint, rust or warp over time as is the case with some lesser ball hoppers.

It's easy to assemble in minutes from new, and is lightweight, portable and compact enough to fit into the smallest spaces in your vehicle - the premium lid closing mechanism will ensure no spills.

Like many similar tennis hoppers, the Unique Ballport converts in seconds from a tennis ball carrier to a tennis ball dispenser by inverting the legs/handles, but this device has a superior locking mechanism for stability and safety.

The ball pick up mechanism on the base is also an excellent design and will not slacken or damage balls over time as with some other pick up hoppers. The rectangular shape is ideal for retrieval of tennis balls lieing against the court boundary fence.

Is this ball hopper pick up perfect? Well, not quite: it could be a few inches taller to be at an optimal height for ball dispensing - but 9 out of 10 isn't bad!

If you're a tennis coach, or own a tennis ball machine with a 300+ ball hopper, or just want to get all your tennis equipment to court the easy way, the Head Teaching Cart is an excellent alternative.

It's very solidly built, but it's superior construction means it's a doddle to push around even when fully loaded. Infact the wheels are so sturdy, they're guaranteed for the life of the cart!

Much of the cart arrives already welded into position so it's simple to assemble, including the handy extra shelving, which allows you to take much more than just your tennis balls to court.
