OEFEN keeps them contained.
LESS CHASING
Keep loose balls close to your training area.
MORE HITTING

Pull the Separator open along the side of your training area.
We create with intention. Our products solve real problems with clean design and honest materials.
02 — ZIG-ZAG IT.
Position the flat panels back and forth at alternating angles. The zig-zag configuration allows the Separator to stand without permanent installation.

WE JUST GOT TIRED OF CHASING BALLS.
OEFEN started with a very sophisticated business strategy:
This is annoying. There has to be a better way.
During pickleball practice, we were spending far too much time retrieving balls that had rolled across the court instead of actually hitting them.
So we built something.
Then we rebuilt it.
Then we tested it.
Then we probably chased a few more balls.
Eventually, the OEFEN Separator was born.
OEFEN comes from the Dutch word “oefen” — practice.
Because that's ultimately what we're here for.
Practice wins.
We make things that work better and last longer. Our products solve real problems with clean design and honest materials.
