Here's another picture of our modified fork type ball picker upper, the PVC tubing parts flop down as shown when the fork goes down, and guide the ball in for more reliable lifting. They are held on by those short pieces of square tubing, which are riveted on, and there is a bolt going thru the tubing sideways that fits in slots in the PVC. The slots were very easy to make by just holding the PVC in place, and running a drill in the hole in the square tubing, and slowly turning the PVC, so the drill bit mills the slots.
