Information provided by various external sources

Kompact9 is a ball launcher that's been engineered to work perfectly for both you and your dog. But it is so much more than just another ball launcher. After all, there are plenty of those out there. We’ve completely redesigned and reimagined it from the ground up, consigning all the bad bits to the pages of history. It is the worlds only full retractable ball launcher and is made completely from plant based plastics.

We have had our ball thrower for well…

We have had our ball thrower for well over a year now & our dog waits at the door for me to pick it up otherwise she won’t leave!! Nobody seems to have mentioned how easy it is to pick a ball off the ground with this as
stick just the right length & so useful as you get older - no bending!! Easy to use & really goes quite a distance & fits in one’s pocket so useful. Just fell recently & broke it - sending for a new one - dog & me lost without it.

Anne, Thank you for your lovely feedback. We all hate bending down in our house and love anything that makes life easier. I hope you are back to playing ball with your favourite furry friend. Karen and Alex

Have received my kompact9 ball thrower…

Have received my kompact9 ball thrower today it came very quickly and I am delighted with it as is Dexter, my sproodle. Their honesty over the packaging is so refreshing and sensible to use it rather than creating unnecessary waste. I'm very happy to be helping in my tiny way to be cutting down on plastic. Would highly recommend this product and this company to all dog owners out there.

Love this ball thrower

Love this ball thrower. The only thing I would add if possible is a catch to keep it compact when carrrying. Think it is an excellent idea and product

False advertising

This product does not fit a normal tennis ball despite being advertised to do so. I have contacted them as I would like to return and they still haven't responded. Considering the price I am hugely disappointed in this product and the customer service is appalling. Will not be using this company ever again!!!

The ball thrower fits a standard tennis ball (this is a very specific measurement as defined by the LTA). Unfortunately, dog balls sold as 'tennis balls' do not have to conform to specific sizes and are often either significantly smaller or larger than a tennis ball. We have managed to source a dog friendly recycled ball manufactured in the UK, that is a tennis ball size and will be selling these from April 2022. In the meantime we are happy to refund your order. For information your refund request never reached us. We respond to all questions within 48 hours. Karen and Alex

Only used a couple of times so far but…

Only used a couple of times so far but all good. Time will tell on longevity but seems pretty robust. Hubby says he misses the curve of a flinger but that’s the price you pay for a convenient collapsible one and works fine. Service was great and came less than 48 hours after ordering. Responsible company who I feel would respond quickly to any issues too - not that we’ve had any!

Kompact 9

Excellent product just what I've wanted as it can be put in a pocket or bumbag without having to carry it in my hands as others do. It is well made of strong plastic and works very well. Thank you for making this product

Great value and loads of fun.

You will not believe me but I am so happy with the Kompact9 and our dog Leo absolutely love it. Unlike other chuckers It can be concealed in a pocket or even my wife handbag so Leo does not even know you have it with you, so he can concentrate on doing what he’s meant to before play time.
I must also mention the after sales service staff who were absolutely astounding when our original one developed a fault and replaced no question immediately.
Great value and loads of fun.

A great ball thrower for all dog fans.

I have tried many ball throwers in the past, this out performs in many ways. Firstly it is made from recycled materials which is a definite plus point! The collapsible design makes it very easy to fit in most pockets. Best of all is the anti slobber bag it fits into, as all dog owners know that spongy ball full of slobber is not pleasant!! It's also very easy to use and doesn't put as much strain on your shoulder or arm.

Kompact9 telescopic ball thrower

Ordered two Kompact9 ball throwers, one for myself the other for a gift. Received email when dispatched and they arrived by post the next day. Well designed cardboard packaging that not only protects the product well but actually enhances it. Have only used the ball launcher a few times but it works perfectly with regular tennis balls. Brilliant telescopic design and the protective pouch is a great idea. Best of all is the entire product is made from recycled plastic. Great design, great company ethos. Well done guys!

The Kompact9 dog launcher is fantastic

The Kompact9 dog launcher is fantastic, easy and portable along with a pouch to put the dirty end in when finished using.

Brilliant product and lovely company

The ball launcher is really brilliant, I bought it for my elderly mum so she doesn’t have to carry the big traditional-type stick and can keep this in her dog walking bag. It works beautifully, we're really pleased, and I got more for others in the family.
I had to contact the company about a slight delivery issue and they were really lovely and resolved it immediately, they were a joy to deal with. Would definitely recommend the company and the product.
