When I was younger, practicing to be a star tennis player, I used to make my little brother pick up the tennis balls I had hit all over my grandparent`s tennis court. Unfortunately, he is older now and refuses to help me! I tried it myself for a while but found I was wasting so much practice time chasing tennis balls. I decided a tennis ball hopper would be a great tool for me to save my time and my back. I can honestly say… it was a worthy investment!
