Wotryit Ball Collector Mini | Ball Picker Upper for Tennis, Padel and More | Can Hold 52 Tennis Balls

I've used this several times already and I only have a couple of complaints. The first is that it does work, but you have to slow down right before the tennis ball gets to the roller. If you roll too fast into the ball it will frequently hit one of the tines and fly away. You can roll it around fast, but when you get to the ball just slow down and it will pick it up most of the time. My second complaint is getting the balls out of the roller. You'll have to secure all 3 bands and stick your hand inside to get all the balls out. It would be much better if there was an easier mechanism to empty the roller out. Other than those two items, so far so good.

Pickleballs are larger than tennis balls. The rods are too stiff and don't bend to let a pickleball in. I'm trying to figure out a way to modify the design so it works. I'll try spring steel first that is thin enough to bend around a ball and capture it. I like the concept. But if unsuccessful, I'll have to return it.
