5.0 out of 5 stars Seems to be a handy item, April 26, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Unique Ballport - Plastic (80 cap.) (Misc.)

I have been using the ballport for about a month now and it seems to work really well. I coach some younger kids and it is light enough for them to use as well. I like the additional feature of being able to "close" the top so that balls do not spill all over my car if the ballport falls over.
The ballport is easy to assemble and it appears that it will last for quite a while. Since it is made of plastic materials, I do not expect it to last more than 3 or 4 years (I use it almost every day). But at this price, it is well worth it.
It is also easy to convert to a standing hopper. This item is much better than the old metal ball holders that convert to standing. The handles lock in an upward position when picking up balls, and lock in a downward position when standing.
One note: the pictures on the shopping page are reversed. The 80 ball capacity ballport is the larger rectangular shape.

Easy to put together, it keeps the balls in the basket and does not tip over. Also, since it is not metal, it does not bend out of shape like metal hoppers do.

Do yourself a favor and buy this hopper. The design is very superior to any other ballhopper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, well designed ball hopper for the nonprofessional (once a week) user, May 6, 2007

I bought the Ballport two years ago and use it perhaps 12 times over the nice weather season (we live in Boston) to practice with my kids and for service practice. Plastic construction makes it flexible and light. It appears to be a quite well designed item, as it picks up balls effortlessly. The top bars when slided lock the balls in place for transportation and allows me to place the hopper horizontally in my shallow trunk, without spilling balls. Its legs also lock in place easily, both for standing as well as when they double as handles.

Very satisfied overall.
