Make one (two?) yourself fromThin Wall PVC drain pipe. Dec 05, 2009
By Jeff Smith I have only seen this type after it has worn out, so I decided to build one where the only part that can wear out is the rubber band.
Cut a 10' section of thin wall PVC drain pipein half for (2) 5' pieces. My table saw with a standard blade (used carefully) worked well for this.
Drill (4) 1/4' holes eqidistant around the diameter, 1/2" to 3/4" above the end of the pip. Use 1/2" long (or cut down from longer) 1/4-20 (stainless steel?) machine screws and cap nuts or nylock nuts.
Use one of these to fasten the bottom of the strap and a 1" 1/4-20 screw at the top to secure the strap and hold a rubber band - to keep the balls from rolling out.
A 1/4" hole and cable tie opposite the long top screw, secures a thick rubber band, which is pulled over the long top screw.
You get (2) 5' indestructable ball caddies for the price of one 4 footer.

Tennis Ball Retriever is great! Oct 29, 2008
By Jo Shifrin The "gamma ball hopper ball tube" is a funny name for this item, but despite that, it really works well. If you play tennis or squash it really helps to have this tool to quickly pick up your tennis balls without having to bend over and strain your back. It has a hook that lets you attach it easily to a chain link fence and a strap to carry it on your shoulder.

Great product! Aug 08, 2008
By K. Vonder We ordered 2 of these tubes at the beginning of the summer - we've been using them several times per week and they work great! They've held up just fine and so far we've had no problems!

Tennis tube Aug 24, 2007
By The Penman It's quite simple and it works well. I think I would want a longer one to hold more balls.

Inexpensive but cheap Apr 02, 2008
By Kenneth G. Lambert
"tennis whacko"
These tubes are easy to use and effective, ahemm, but, don't count on them to last forever. The shoulder strap will fall off and with a significant amount of use, the bottom ring will will no longer keep the balls from falling out. For light or occasional use, these are excellent.
