The Franklin Sports Pickleball Retriever Tube + Ball Holder is an absolute game-changer for practice sessions. If you use a ball hopper, this is a must-have accessory! It makes picking up balls effortless—no more bending over to collect them one by one. Just press the tube over a ball, and it picks it up instantly.The 12-ball capacity is perfect for drills, and it’s lightweight and easy to carry. It also attaches to a fence or bag, keeping balls organized and ready to go. The build quality is solid, and it works great on all court surfaces.If you want to save time and energy during practice, this is a must-have tool. Highly recommend for any pickleball player!

I’ve used this about 8 times since I bought it and it works pretty well. The plastic isn’t the best quality and my did for a large crack im assuming just from normal wear but I put tape over it and it still works ok. Would probably purchase another version of this with higher quality plastic if I had to do it again but overall this works as described. I do like that it has a fence hook and it’s lightweight and portable.

Like many new pickleballers, I'm not as young as I'd like. My back works well enough but when lots of bending over is avoidable, I'm happy to do better. This pickleball picker-upper is perfect for that.The first twenty or thirty balls seemed a little hard. Perhaps the prongs on the pickup end needed practice? Or, maybe I just wasn't pushing hard enough. All good now.The tube came with a bunch of black elastic bands. These are for the top end where you pour out the balls. With the elastic looped over the prongs, the balls stay inside, even if you lay the tube down. To release balls, spread the elastic to the outside of the tube. Easy. But, also easy to lose the elastic so I appreciated all the extras.Totally satisfied.

I have a basket of old pickleballs for training. I got tired of picking them up by bending over and bought this tube. I figured all tubes must be the same and that was a bad assumption. This tube seems well constructed. The plastic is pretty thick and it doesn't feel flimsy to me. But, its got a weird design. I used a different brand tube and it was easy. One end is used to pick up the balls and the other end is open so you can dump them out. But, this tube is different. One end is closed as the designer was worried about balls spilling out if stored in the tube. The other end is used to collect the balls and dump them out. The ball collection end is closed by a black rubber band. The first clue that this might be an issue is that the tube comes with several rubber bands. The way it works. You string the rubber band across the end and force the tube down on a ball. The ball passes thru the rubber band and can't come out. When you're done, you remove the rubber band, dump out the ball and then restring the rubber band. It works but it's a nuisance. And when (not if) the rubber band breaks you'd better have another or it is unusable. I can't really recommend this product. There are others that are better for about the same price.

I was excited about getting this item but it disappointed . It is poorly made product from China. For me to pick up the balls with this contraption require me leaning and putting pressure on the tube. It came with a pack of rubber bands . The rubber bands have to be removed and replaced each time to get your balls out of the tube.I would have paid more for a quality product.

Great! Gets the job done.
