Kompact9, the world's only sustainably made retractable dog ball launcher that's accessible for all

Kompact9 was born from a frustration. One shared by many dog owners. Do we go on a long walk and lug the lengthy and cumbersome ball thrower with us? Or do we just go to the park and play fetch. We thought there must be a way you could do both. So, we designed and built it. At the same time, we also wanted to create something that was easy to use (and easy to transport), for people of all ages and abilities. We specifically wanted physically challenged people to be able to use a ball launcher. Now they can. Finally, we wanted to make it completely environmentally friendly. From the unit itself, to the hygienic drawstring bag, and the packaging it comes in. I’m pleased to say we’ve done just that. It’s completely portable Our unique, telescopic design allows our product to retract to comfortably fit in a pocket. You can now go for a walk and have fun filled high energy exercise, mid walk, before returning Kompact9 to your pocket. It's a 'no more compromise' solution that means your dog is warmed up before play, doesn't become too ball obsessed and most importantly the ball launcher is hidden from view. It’s wonderfully hygienic Kompact9 comes with a drawstring cover, banishing unwelcome dog slobber to the pages of history. It’s recycled and sustainable Kompact9 is made from 100% recycled plastic, our drawstring bag is made from recycled plastic bottles, and our packaging is made from a combination of recycled or FSC certified cardboard. It’s designed to be used by people of all abilities Our telescopic shaft and ball cup design make it much easier to release the ball than other throwers. And it requires significantly less strength and energy to throw. Wheelchair users can now throw a ball for their dogs. It’s manufactured in the UK Kompact9 is designed in Marlow and made in Devon, further enhancing our environmental credentials. It’s rocket science Kompact9 was designed by Alex Richardson, who holds a master’s degree in aerospace engineering. He’s a real-life rocket scientist.

Our ball launcher is so lightweight (125g) and easy to use (a special cup release) that wheelchair users can now throw a ball for the first time for their dog and have many hours of fun filled play with their support companion. Users can walk and play. Kompact9 is made from 100% recycled plastic, our drawstring bag is made from recycled plastic bottles, and our packaging is made from a combination of recycled or FSC certified cardboard. Designed in the UK by an aerospace engineer.
