Features:

The selling point of this bad boy is the added wheels. They made it very easier for most players to run around on the court with the caddy in their hands. While regular baskets without wheels do offer convenience, the wheels on this basket do minimize our pickup time.

The Tourna Pickleball Deluxe Caddy itself is quite lightweight and comes really handy. This is great because once you add in all the balls, the basket tends to become heavier. So, the lighter the tennis ball basket, the easier it will be for you to use them however, you find suitable.

The body is highly durable and just like all the Gamma products, the brand has used carbon steel wire for absolute durability. To further enhance the durability of the Gamma Sports Heavy Duty Tennis Ball Hopper, the brand used the premium diamond-clad coating to make the carrier weather-resistant.
