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.

Patricia Schneiter' experience with the thrower…

Had so much fun exercising the dog with the ball thrower. Its compact, light and easy to use and the ball goes further with less effort. This is good for elderly people and disabled dog owners. And its made from recycled material ( The bag is also a very good idea )
I felt this was a really good buy.

Great product for all age groups of dog owners. Love the compact form and the distance one can throw the ball. Especially if one is physically disadvanted it is so helpful to give your dog a special experience

Great toy - would definitely recommend!

We were lucky enough to win a ball thrower in an Instagram competition and it’s now our dog’s favourite toy! It’s great for exercising him off the lead and is the only thing that keeps his focus on us rather than other dogs or exploring. The little bag is great in winter when the ball comes back muddy and wet, and I love that I can fold up the thrower and put it in my coat pocket. Also it is made from recycled plastic which is fab! I would definitely recommend this toy 👍🏼

I love that this collapses down to fit…

I love that this collapses down to fit in a pocket so my labrador who loves playing fetch doesnt pester me as soon as we step out the door! It fits all the tennis balls fine and the bag supplied with it really does stop the dog slobber getting all over you :)
Last but not least it's made from 100% recycled materials.

A ball thrower that's 100% sustainable

A ball thrower that's 100% sustainable, made from either recycled or plant-based plastics AND it retracts to fit in your bag! It sounds perfect, doesn't it? Well, it is. So happy to have found it!

Don't stop retrieving! Paw-some ball launcher for dogs.

This brilliant piece of kit that is as essential as the lead for our dog walks now. We also use it just for a bit of fun in the garden. Our Labrador constantly wants us to throw a ball for her. This handy little tool lets you pick up the ball (tennis balls & Kong balls) without constantly having to bend right down. We have given it plenty of use and you can really get some good distance once you perfect the art of lobbing a ball. My mother also has one as she cannot throw too far. With the Kompact9 she can keep her dog entertained without the stress on her shoulders and arms.The telescopic launcher packs up neatly into a handy drawstring pouch. Highly recommended for all dog owners.

Hi Geoffrey, thanks for your review. Our ball thrower is designed to fit standard tennis balls as defined by the International Tennis Federation. Unfortunately a lot balls, particularly pet ball, are marketed as tennis balls when they are a completely different size. Our ball thrower also requires much less effort to throw with so if you are throwing with too much force then you might find it more difficult!

This product is over priced

This product is over priced,

Hi Sheila, thanks for your review and sorry to hear you aren't pleased with your purchase. Our ball thrower is made in the UK from environmentally friendly, recycled materials. This means that it's a bit more expensive than normal. We don't sell a ball with it because it's designed to fit standard tennis balls keeping it more accessible rather than requiring a specific sized ball that only we sell.

I was going to write a review saying how wonderful this product is, and it was until it broke yesterday . I bought it a few months ago , I thought it was brilliant, it fitted into my back pack , so that we could do a bit of walking before the ball throwing started , I am not sure if I will be buying another one as I would have expected it to last longer .

No issues

Extendable ball thrower for the dog. It arrived pretty quickly and was as described (plus a little bag to transport the gacky end and the ball which was both handy and unexpected) so what more can be said ?!

The speedy delivery was helpful

The speedy delivery was helpful. The ball thrower itself is flimsy and plastic with loose parts. Not robust and not sure it will last and certainly over priced for a cheap plastic product.

Regan, Thank you for your feedback. The ball thrower is designed to retract so that it can fit in your pocket. The only way to engineer this is to have 4 interlocking tubular pieces that can telescopically retract into the handle. Although the ball thrower only weighs 235g it is very strong and will not break when used for throwing a ball. We are very proud that our Kompact9 ball thrower is designed and manufactured in the UK with recycled materials and we are able to monitor our entire supply chain for environmental impact and human welfare.
