This video shows sort of low-tech means or hack for gathering a bunch of pickleballs together for easy pickup.

Some tips:

• You’ll need a fairly thick rope, but not too thick or it won’t lie down flat easily. I use a 3/4 incher here
• You need to move the rope smoothly and slowly or the balls will start jumping the rope
• If you keep the ball spaced out rather than bunched up until the last minute they will not jump the rope as much as 3-4 rows of balls bunched together
• If you have buddy that can go ahead of you and lightly kick the balls away from walls or netting it will speed things up
