Let customers speak for us
By far the best ball tubes I’ve used in 25+ years in the Industry! The 10 year warranty guarantees the investment and the personal branding is a huge bonus as I own my own tennis business great investment for private clubs, coaches and colleges! I personally prefer the mid-size and bought 3 and customized them for my business 🎾😊💪
I’ve had my Eggi for a few months and I love it! This makes picking up balls at Liveball quick and easy. The included hook is so simple to attach and can Hang from the court fence with ease. The soft rubbery bottom reduces vibration and makes picking up, a comfortable motion. I’m really impressed with how simple it is to pick up balls and get back to my game!
We have bought and used at least 30-40 different ball hoppers...and these are hands down the most reliable, optimal, and beautifully designed hoppers ever. And with our logo and colors....everyone at the Club finds these incredibly appealing.
Took this (easy to carry) to tennis camp, I was the only one with my own pickup tube, was SO HAPPY to have it (easy, smooth, pretty!) - UNTIL other campers tried to steal it (lol)! They started running to it during pickups to get their hands on it. I let 'em take turns using it until I finally had to remind them it was my personal tube. They can buy their own, hands off mine! LOVE IT SO MUCH!
The 🐐 Pickup Tube
Practice, drills and live ball means a lot of balls on the court. Using ball tubes to pick them up takes twenty percent less time giving you more time to hit and play.
Unfortunately tubes made of plastic wear out quickly and are thrown away. Frustrated by the waste of money, coaches and players do not replace them and it's back to bending down and stacking balls onto your racket.
So we created the BallZup, a high quality pickup tubes built to last years.
We make them the way
tennis rackets are made.
By hand.
One at a time.
Out of composite fiberglass.
Backed by 10 year warranty, the BallZup is the last pickup tube you will ever buy.

Our Story
WHY WE MADE THE
BallZup
Typical ball tubes do not last long. They bend, warp, crack, the end caps wear out, or fall off, and they have to be replaced.
To end this wasteful and expensive cycle, Tennis Skunkworks has re-imagined the pickup tube from a disposable convenience into a refined, high quality piece of tennis equipment - the BallZup.
The BallZup is best pickup tube ever made, one you will enjoy taking to the court, and the last one you will ever need to buy.
NO MORE PLASTIC
Premium
After testing different materials we learned the way to build the best pickup tube ever made was to fabricate it the same way modern composite tennis rackets are manufactured.
One at a time. By hand. Out of fiberglass.
The BallZup is light-weight, strong, resistant to damage from sunlight, heat, and cold. It will never get soft and bend, warp or crack.
The hook is made of stainless steel, and the adjustable strap lets you choose where it sits on the tube, or remove it when you don't need it.
And like a tennis racket, the BallZup looks amazing in a factory paint job
EXTRA DUTY
Super Durability
Typical pickup tubes stop working when the plastic end caps wear out, break, or fall off completely.
To make end caps that would last years we mold ours using UV and abrasion-resistant EPDM rubber that is incredibly durable but soft enough to protect the court surface.
In the unlikely event an end cap does wear down, each tube comes with two so you can easily swap it with the one from the opposite end.
UNIQUE DESIGN
Hardware
To further extend the life of our end caps, we designed them so they do not wear down from grabbing and holding the balls.
Instead we use a three-point ball-capture system that traps the balls with minimal effort. Made with 304 stainless steel, our hardware will never wear out no matter how many balls you pick up.
Even the hook is made of stainless steel, and the adjustable strap lets you choose where it sits on the tube, or remove it when you don't need it.
Should any of the parts ever become damaged, we made everything replaceable.
OUR PROMISE
One Million Balls
We are confident our hand made pickup tubes will function for years to come and we back every BallZup with a ten-year warranty.
If your BallZup stops picking up tennis balls, contact us, and we will repair it or send you a replacement at no charge (see our Refund Policy for complete details).
We built the BallZup to pick up the millionth ball as well as it picked up the first ball out of the box.
