Ping Pong Ball Picker

I just purchased this to go along with a table tennis robot. Even with a net behind the robot we still manage to hit almost 200 balls off the table at some point.. (beginners lol) I was drawn to this ball device because I noticed it doesn’t use metal bars to jam the balls through when picking them up. This uses string which gives a lot more and doesn’t squish the balls as much, while still picking them up. I want to keep the balls we use with the robot in the best condition so it doesn’t jam up. I was worried that the metal bars on other basket/net type devices might cause more wear and damage to the balls over time. I also like that it is made in the USA. There was a hand written note inside thanking me for my purchase (unexpected and appreciated). This does not disappoint, it picks up balls under the table, ones that are smashed up against random stuff we have along the walls of the basement and more than one ball at a time if there is a pile next to or behind the table. It is quality and works wonderfully. I just turn it upside down and shake it for the balls to come out. Super easy. I’m glad we chose this one as the angle is perfect for getting under the table with minimal bending and at 5’4” and 5’8’ inches tall the handle is more than long enough so we don’t have to reach. . It even came with spare string if we needed to restring it. In my opinion most of the time you get what you pay for, and this is one of those cases. It just makes playing more fun and lets us focus and practice and not spending too much time on picking up. I highly recommend this.

This is an ingenious invention. It is durable and can pick up to 20-25 balls at a time. I like that the boom is adjustable so that even my grandchildren can use it - they actually fight over their turns to use it. Would recommend for any one with back problems or for those who do not want to go chasing after balls one at a time.

A great tool that effectively picks up a bunch of ping pong balls quickly and easily

It is the best design I have seen. It looks strange but very functional. It is lightweight and very efficient at picking balls. It is much faster than using nets. Nets scoop up dust too. This design does not pick up dust. It is easy to pick up balls at corners or under the table. The only caution advice I will give is not to push too hard on the ground. The menu tells you to keep it upside down when not using it. I found it easier to hang it on the wall. The neck is aluminum and could break if pressed too hard. To pick up balls, there is no need to push much pressure. Just touch the ball lightly and it will go through the strings and get picked up by the net.

It is a good looking product and seems well made. However, it's completely useless. The picking basket is at the wrong angle to the handle.

Love it. It’s more efficient than the bucket shape one that i have. This badminton one can pick up balls on the corner and under the tables . I bend it a more to make the racket flat to the floor. Recommended if you are willing to pay more for the right one.

Like others said, this is the easiest and best tool for ping pong ball pick up. I am not going to dwell on it. I broke mine 10 min after I started using it. The angle wasn't right for me, and I wanted to bend it a little more. It snapped. I guess those badminton rackets are not meant to be bent :) Some plastic tubing and scotch tape fixed it more or less. Otherwise it's fine. I tested it with my 3-year-old. She enjoyed the process and managed to pick up balls just fine. Good product. A bit pricey, although not too bad for handmade. Joe, who makes these takes a well deserved pride in them. And that's a good thing.

Love this thing. Worth every penny. Have not played ping pong, aka table tennis, for half a century. Took it up again and love it, except picking up the balls. This solved that problem with my knee replacement and arthritis. It is actually fun going around and picking them up. Good quality, easy to use, great value for money, and saves my back and knees

It is a great tool for those who want to practice with a lot of balls.

So easy to pick up balls

Product works as described.

Awesome
