Bought tennis hopper, one week after use the welds on the arms broke on one side, now it is useless. Weak link is the welds.

I received the Wilson Ball Hopper extremely quickly from Amazon, despite choosing the Free Shipping option. It was easy to assemble, and works very nicely. Really useful when you go out to hit balls by yourself. I'd give it 4.5 stars if possible, because the mechanism for locking and unlocking the legs/handle bars is a tad less-than-ideal. This has only been a small inconvenience to this point, since I've only used it with around 25 balls so far.

The hopper is not as sturdy as I had expected. It is very difficult to change configuration from a hopped to a basket. The rubber on the sleeve have already come apart after a few uses. Disappointed with purchase. Look for some other hopper if you need a sturdy and reliable one.

I bought this ballhopper because it was the #1 selling ballhopper on Amazon. I just returned it. 1) It does NOT hold 75 balls. Maybe it hold 65 but as balls come in cases of 72 it ended up with 8-10 balls rolling around the back of my SUV. 2) During assembly the "caps" popped off all four "capped nuts" leaving four open ended side bars that did their best to rip up the carpet in my cargo area. 3) It is VERY hard to pop the legs in locking slots when using the unit as a stand. 4) Because it didn't hold 75 balls, the top would never stay shut. I had to use a twist tie. Just ordered the Gamma 75 Gold and that seems to be a much better unit. Check it's page in a few days for a review.

If you play a lot of tennis and practice a lot, seriously consider getting a ball hopper like this. Why do you need one? Basically because it's a more efficient way to pick balls up off the ground and will save your back. How does it do this? Well, with the handles in the "up" position, the hopper is pretty close to the ground when you carry it, so all you have to do is set the thing down over a tennis ball. Since its got this neat little one-way trapdoor on its base, that lets balls in the cage but not out- whallah- you just picked up a ball without ever bending over! As you can tell, hoppers are great inventions, as I can't imagine trying to bend over and pick up 20 or 30 (or more) balls off the ground without one. Also, when the hopper is full of balls, you can fold the handles down into legs and use it as a stand to hold your balls while you practive serves and such. Sturdy and easy to put together (4 screws), its definitely a must if you're into tennis. Other items I can recommend for tennis players include Treat Your Own Tennis Elbow.

This overgrip is the best I have ever used. I used many kind of overgrip. Tourna, Babolat, Yonex...but, "Wilson overgrip" is best. Very comfortable tacky feel!

This is the best overgrip. I have tried several different types and brands, and I continually come back to this grip. Almost everyone I know prefers this overgip. It has a great feel, and is durable enough to last a week or two for playing at least 2-3 times a week. The grip gives great comfort for playing, and also gives more control and feel for the racquet.

I cannot change my original rating down to 4-star: I think it's important to know what racket you play with. I play with Wilson K-Six-One 90". The original grip (white) was pretty good and lasted more than a month (then it got dirty and worn out because of sweat). So I wanted to get next grip also white in color and I found this one on Amazon - with everyone giving it 5-star reviews. I think, people have over-rated this product. This is atmost a 4-star worthy product. I give this 4-star because of the pricing for bulk purchase and not the best grip quality. Another factor to consider, the rating and tenure: I'm a 4.0 player and I've been playing for 3+ years now. The good: - Good tennis racket grip for the bulk price (30 grips, not a bad deal at all) The bad: - It does not fit my racket handle completely (I've had to use white tape to close the 1" gap - at the top!). You could argue that maybe I'm not putting the new grip properly, but trust me - I've done many grips and other grips I've used don't give you this trouble :-) - This grip is barely lasting 1 week for my play of twice a week. Better grips will last you 2-3 weeks easily. - For the 1 week it lasts, this grip becomes unfriendly (due to sweat) after 3-4 hours of play. It does absorb sweat, but after 3-4 hours I have found it causes the racket to slip. A better grip will continue to stick in your hand :-) Recommendation: - If you are price conscious, go with this. - If you want the better quality, go with this: http://www.amazon.com/Wilson-Overgrip-Tennis-Racquet-Grip/dp/B0015FI0MY/ref=pd_ts_sg_1?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods ...... I will try this next as soon as I consume my remaining grips.

This is the best overgrip out there. It gives you better touch and control over your racquet.
