DIY Tennis Ball Collector

A lot of time when I practice tennis, I use a lot of tennis balls and picking up balls is the toughest thing to do in the tennis court. It hurts your back and takes so much time to pick all the balls up. There are many brands making a tennis ball collector and put it on sale. For examples, Babolat, Prince, and Balltube. The price of each tennis ball collector is around $22. For me, that is expensive...

Hence, I came up with an idea of making one of these by myself. It might not be easy to make it but it is worth it. I could save my money for other things.

The procedure of this is easy. Every one can do it. This tennis ball collector made of old plastic tennis ball cans. I cut the bottom part of the can so I can connect each one together to make it long. After I am satisfied with the length, the last can will be cover with the plastic cap that has a hole in the middle. That hole is where the ball will be pushed inside and the hole has to be in triangle form so the ball would not spill out. The hardest part would be when you put the hot glue and connect to the other tennis can.

Here is all you need to make this ball collector.
