Tennis ball collector - assembly guide

Hello, what material should be this attached plastic fiber which you've screwed to the rod? Because my machine is done, but when the ball reaches the rod it stops and can be collected. Is this plastic material should be soft or hard, also how wider should be? Thanks in advance.

Hello, I am trying to make this. Can you please help me with the following questions. 1.) I see you took the orange blade out and removed it with the long rod. Where did you get the rod? what is the size of that rod? 2.) You attached the plastic fiber or sheet and screwed it to the new rod. Did you make the holes in that rod by yourself or it comes like that? Thank you

1. For the purpose of making this video, they took the rod from another Bosch AHM38G mower--many people want this collector because it's much faster than a ball hopper and cheap. The video omitted footage showing him cutting off the blades with a $15 Harbor Freight angle grinder, polishing the remaining rod and drilling holes for the sweeper blades. 2. You drill the holes in the rod yourself, or find a machine shop or friend with a drill press. Don't give up. Do this. (if you haven't already)

I just automotive hose clamped on rubber blades, with angle tile trim support, works well. One thing I need to do is add a 5kg dumbbell on it I think., to give it more weight to keep the wheels turning, because I often get jammed if I don't keep weight pressure on the wheels.
