Ball Tray
Rubber or plastic tray that holds 50–100 practice balls within reach of the hitting position. The Carl's Place tray ($25–$60, 86-ball capacity) is the budget default; Fiberbuilt's premium tray ($50–$120) matches Fiberbuilt mat aesthetic. Note: Net Return frames bundle automatic ball return, so this line item can be skipped on Net Return builds.
Who this is for
Honest match per persona.
Good for
- Recreational Player
Universal addition. $30 saves picking up balls one-by-one between shots.
- Performance Seeker
High-volume practice sessions need a tray. 86-ball capacity = ~30-minute session without refills.
- Family Setup
Larger tray (or two trays) for multi-user households.
- Showroom
Premium Fiberbuilt tray matches the showroom aesthetic.
- Cost-Effective Buyer
Generic rubber tray is fine. Don't overspend.
- Space-Constrained
Single-layer tray fits flush against the mat without adding footprint.
Not for
No specific match.
