The 🐐 Pickup Tube

Over your lifetime playing tennis and pickleball you will pick up thousands (if not millions) of balls.
You need a device that will always pick up the balls without wearing out.

That is why we created the BallZup.

We make them with fiberglass, and stainless steel hardware that will never fail to pick up balls.

And we back every tube with a ten year warranty.

You need a pickup tube, and the BallzUp is the one to get.

It works great, looks great, and you will love using it.

Our Story

WHY WE MADE THE

BallZup

Typical ball tubes bend, warp, crack, the end caps wear out, or fall off, and they have to be replaced.

Tennis Skunkworks re-imagined the pickup tube from a device to be replaced every couple of years into a refined, high quality piece of tennis equipment made to last a lifetime.

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 material 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

Ensuring the BallZup will ALWAYS pick up balls was our number one concern. That's why we designed it so that regardless of the end cap's condition the tube will grab and hold the balls.

We achieve this by using a three-point ball-capture system that traps the balls. 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.

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 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.
