Abstract
A ball collecting system includes a picker, and a pit configured to enable balls discharged from the picker to be collected in a ball-collecting space. At least one basket whose upper part is open is disposed in the ball-collecting space to allow the discharged balls to be dropped and stored in the basket. The ball-collecting space is configured such that one end thereof in a horizontal direction is formed as an open zone, to allow the basket to be taken out from the ball-collecting space through the open zone.
