Ball Dropper

 

Use PVC pipe of the size necessary to allow the balls to fall thru the pipe. Cut it to the proper length to hold the necessary number of balls you will need. Attach the type of hook-up you require in order to keep it in place under your jacket. I use three thickness of "shim" plastic which is attached to the top edge of the tube. Then another "shim" which is longer, is attached to the pieces. This makes a nice upside down "J" shape and will simply slide over your waistband. You'll need to attach this "hook" to the tube in a place which will allow the tube to hand to the proper length for you.

At the other end of the tube do this: Cut two strips of fairly rigid plastic about 1" wide and 3" (or so) long. Apply about an inch of one end to the OUTSIDE of the tube and bend the free end inward just enough to stop the balls from falling thru. These pieces must be in a position with one on the inner portion, which will hang near your hep and the outer portion, located across the tube which will hang to the outside.

If I've explained it clearly, you should be able to visualize a tube with a slab attached, which is placed over the beltline and allows the tube to hang to the outside of the trousers. Balls are placed into the tube and fall to the bottom, against the two "clips",which are loose enough (and a little flexible) to allow one ball at a time to be retreived by simply dropping your arm to your side and curling your fingers around the ball, which is EXACTLY where you need it to be, if the holder is customized to your needs.

I hope this has helped more than confused. E-Mail me directly, if I can be of help.
