[Dragon Ball] As early as mid-DB, Goku is capable of jumping up to catch a dragon ball right before they all get scattered. So why don't the gang just do this every time, one can have their eye on each ball to do it?

Goku has the strength and speed to jump up and catch his grandpa's ball. So clearly every single Z fighter has the capability to easily eye one of the balls and do this. So why don't they? That way they have the dragon balls forever and ever without having to look for them. No need for any more dragon radar, no need to worry about anyone bad getting their hands on the balls, game set and match.

Why have they never thought of this?

Once they hit the point where they can travel around the world in the blink of an eye and they have the dragon radar, they don't really consider the dragon balls scattering to be a serious obstacle.  Collecting them is a minor inconvenience at worst.  They didn't think of doing that because that would be coming up with a solution for a problem that isn't really a problem.
