Our Story

Traditional tennis hopper is a pretty ingenious invention. It is perfect for the task and can last for a long time on all the court surfaces, except for the hard. New Save and Roll™ tennis hopper guard wheels will make most of the wire hoppers last for years longer, even on the hard courts, adding a convenient rolling feature to them.

Saw problem

The hoppers work great, but wear out at the bottoms, particularly in the corners. Full hoppers are too heavy and little kids drag them. The hoppers do not last long enough and the court surfaces get scratched.

Designed product

The Save and Roll™ Classic was created and it became an instant hit. After just a few months it proved its efficiency and showed its huge potential. The next challenge was to make the wheel installation easier. The concept of Save and Roll™ Lite was created!

Tested product

After a few attempts, the final version of the Save and Roll™ Lite went into the field testing. After about six months of rigorous beating, including testing in the heat of the Arizona summer, thanks to Will W., Camelback Village Racquet & Health Club, Phoenix, AZ, this new model proved itself to be the right one for the task, just as the Classic model.

Solved problem

Save and Roll™ became the remedy that was long waited for. Kids love the wheels, adults love them, club owners love them.

With the Save and Roll™ wheels on tennis hoppers dragging virtually impossible.
It is simply replaced by rolling!

“The ZUBRIC® Save and Roll™ wheels are great for the paddle courts!”

“I’ve really grown to appreciate these ZUBRIC® Save and Roll™ wheels as I am a USPTA-certified tennis teaching professional and work every single day with tennis ball hoppers and also with players who would otherwise be dragging them against court surfaces. Kids are especially guilty of this abuse because they aren’t strong enough or tall enough to easily and consistently lift the hoppers. These wheels really changed everything.”

“Since installing the ZUBRIC® Save and Roll™ wheels on our hoppers five years ago we have not needed to replace one hopper. Previously we replaced hoppers every 18 to 24 months.”
