Abstract
A ball pick-up scoop attached or molded on the head end of a racquet. When mounted, formed, or attached the scoop protrudes roughly 80 to 90 Degrees away from the face side of the racquet. While standing up straight and holding the handle of the racquet the user slides/pivots the scoop under a ball (tennis, squash, racketball, rubber, synthetic, etc..) which cradles the ball between the scoops ball guides and the racquets face to facilitate in picking up of a ball without ever bending over. Once the ball is cradled the user can pivot the racquet up to their opposite hand and grab the ball or flip the ball up and hit the ball or let it bounce and then hit the ball.
