GAMMASports EZ Travel Cart, Tennis & Pickleball Hopper, Padel, Portable Compact Design, Sturdy Lightweight Construction, EZ Bags, 150 or 250 Capacity, Premium Carrying Case Included

I am not a natural athlete. I have to practice quite a bit to improve, especially on my serve. In the past I have used a ball hopper (metal basket that you can pickup balls with and then invert the handles to stand the hopper up to waist height to get to the balls easier). This has been ok, but the inverted handles weren't that stable and the hopper would occasionally fall over when I was taking balls out of it. Also, as I was picking up balls with it, I found that as the hopper got fuller, it was harder to pick up additional balls.The Gamma Ez Travel Cart is solidly constructed and easily assembled and disassembled. Once disassembled it has a low profile in its carrying case in the trunk of my car. The nylon ball bag that comes with the cart is durable and is quickly secured to the four corners of the cart by small straps with clips. If I'm in a hurry, I don't necessarily bother with the straps as the nylon fittings at the corners of the bag fit over the corner supports of the cart and keep the bag open. The zip secured mesh cover keeps the balls in the bag when I have it in the back of my car.The wheels for the cart can be locked or unlocked. So far I am just leaving them unlocked and it is easy to move the cart from place to place during tennis practice. The ball bag in the cart is at a perfect height for me to get the balls out (I'm 6' tall) and unlike the ball hopper/pickup item I previously used, there is no danger of tipping the EZ cart over if I'm a little too enthusiastic in getting a ball out of the container.The Ez cart is not designed to pickup balls. So I've matched it up with a "Unique Tennis Tube 21 Ball Pickup" (available on Amazon). It's a long plastic tube that easily and quickly allows me to pickup tennis balls. This combination has allowed me to maximize the number of serves I hit in a one hour practice on a rented court during the winter months. Very little time is wasted in setting up, picking up balls or packing up at the end of a practice session.The Gamma Ballhopper Ez Travel cart is a great product and I'm glad I purchased it.

Excellent quality and ready to use immediately

Very durable. The frame with rollers is easy to use and very durable. I've had this for quite some time now and it's still going strong. Highly recommend this one and worth the money over the cheaper alternatives.

Excellent

I bought this bag separately from a travel cart with the purpose to use it as a storage/transportation bag for a ball machine load of pickleballs. Sure, I could use the cardboard box in which pickleballs were shipped or a plastic box from the Home Depot, but I was looking for something with handles and small and light enough to put it on top of the ball machine (I got a Lobster) and roll it to the court. it turned out that the bag is made of very thin material and does not hold its shape on its own at all. There is an insert for the bottom, but no inserts along the side walls and the material is nothing like what you find in duffel bags, it just collapses under its own weight. This is not a design flaw, as this bag is designed to be used with the cart suspended by the edges in the cart frame. My intention to use it as a stand-alone carry bag is outside of its usual and intended scope of use. Nonetheless, it is sold also separately from cart and I am evaluating it as a stand-alone bag. It is possible to fill it up with pickleballs without the cart, but it is a tedious process not suitable for on-court. I measured dimensions of the bag and found that it is a perfect cube: 23 cm by 23 cm by 23 cm. I cut a long stripe of cardboard to fold it around the side walls, stuck it into the bag, and this solved the problem of making the bag keep its shape. I have 98 balls (originally, it was a hundred but I lost two of them) and they fit into the bag nicely (see the picture). I am sure 100 balls would fit, too, but not much, if anything, beyond it. Without home-made cardboard sidewalls, maybe, just maybe, one can squeeze a few more balls. So far, as you can see from the picture, it is up to the task!

This is what the pros use!The quality difference between this and the cheaper ones is very noticableThose are built of thinner material, are wobbly and quality suspect. But this is very solidly built, glides smoothly, wheen locks work well, and is build to perform well and to lastWell worth spending a little extra for a quality product

This hopper was a life saver this coaching season. Everyone should have a ball hopper like this. Makes feeding balls a breeze. Only wish it was easier to transport since you have to take it apart (two pieces) every time to the car and back to the court.
