Review on 🎾 Convenient and Mobile: Tourna Ballport Deluxe Tennis Ball Hopper - Holds 80 Balls with Wheels by Matthew Goozmer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The Wheels, The Wheels, The Wheels

I have replaced my Gamma 72 wire basket with this and am very pleased with the improved Gamma design concept. Cons: - DOES NOT hold 72. Lid opens and spills balls in the trunk of my car.- Inconvenient to throw into the ball machine due to the lid and handles.- The lid keeps detaching from the frame. Tourna Pros:- THEY FIXED THE PRINTED INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS! Not complicated, but effective. Assembly was quick and easy. - Holds 72 (but NOT 80 as advertised) - Great overall concept - Looks heavier than a Wire Gamma but is actually 2 ounces lighter. - Sturdy (except wheels) - Flexible bars on the top hold the balls well. Flexible rods on the bottom flex more easily than gamma wire when picking up balls. some Loctite or lock nuts (M4 .7) and the supplied wheel bolts fall like a rain shower. It took the $30 item 2 hours to purchase and install replacement bolts and locknuts. Do the math. Sausage wheels need to be 50-100% larger in diameter (and repositioned accordingly) to achieve better tracking.

Pros
  • Perfect for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Out of fashion
