Pickleball Labs Ball Tube

Anyone who has run a drill session knows the part nobody talks about: balls all over the court and a lot of bending down. The Pickleball Labs Ball Tube fixes that. Press the end of the tube over a ball, the ball pops up inside, and you walk on to the next one without bending over.

How it works

Walk the court with the tube in one hand and press it down over each ball as you reach it. Each one pushes up inside and stays there until you empty the tube into your basket, your bag or your ball machine. The tube in our photos is holding 12 balls, and because the tube is clear you can see how full it is at a glance. Balls are not included.

Who it suits

• Coaches: a clinic leaves balls everywhere. Clear them between drills and keep the session moving.
• Ball machine owners: a machine empties its hopper quickly, and picking up is the slow part of every solo session.
• Clubs and venues: keep one courtside, and packing up at the end of the night stops being a job for one tired volunteer.
• Anyone whose back or knees have had enough: you can practise for longer when clearing the court doesn't hurt.

What you are getting

One long clear tube with a black cap at each end and the Pickleball Labs logo on the side. The close-up photos show both caps from the front and the side, so you can see exactly how each end is built before you buy.

Pickleball Labs

Pickleball Labs is our own range: the practical bits of kit we wanted on court ourselves, built because the market's version wasn't right. See the rest of the Pickleball Labs range, or pair the tube with a ball machine for solo sessions.
