About Us

2022 - Our team was often annoyed with the issue of keeping our bowling shammies clean and readily accessible. During our leagues, amongst other bowlers, our shammies often were stacked on each other, on and under the balls on the return rack, and too often, became an annoyance that disrupted our flow. This inconvenience inspired us to create an innovative bowling accessory that would allow us to better focus on the game and less on where our shammies were.

We wanted to create a shammy that wouldn’t just clean our balls, but also stay clean and within reach. This seemed simple and straightforward, however,  our initial attempts were humble. 

We pieced together prototypes using materials we could easily get our hands on, using shammy scraps, staples, and sourcing magnets from random objects we found. These early models were rough around the edges, but they proved our concept would work. However, we knew that to truly serve our fellow bowlers, we needed to refine our design. The shammy had to be more than just functional; it needed to be durable, efficient, and elegantly designed.

2023 - Determined to elevate our invention, we embarked on a journey of research and development that took us deep into the nuances of materials and design. We examined everything from the type of leather that offered the best combination of grip and absorbency to the threading that would hold our shammy together to the size and strength of magnets that were imperative to the whole basis of this project.

We also learned how to sew and operate various sewing machines, trying out 4 different machines before finding the right one that we finally learned to use properly (after many frustrations and a steep learning curve). 

The choice of magnet was critical; it had to be strong enough to secure the shammy to any metal surface but not so powerful as to make detachment difficult. After experimenting with around 20 different magnets, we found the perfect balance.

This process was not just about creating a new product but about rethinking how a simple tool could significantly enhance the bowling experience. Our dedication to research, testing, and refinement led to the creation of the original magnetic bowling shammy—a testament to our belief in constant improvement and innovation.

Our story is not just about a product; it's about how a group of bowling enthusiasts turned a common annoyance into an opportunity to innovate. It reflects our commitment to enhancing the sport we love. The journey from concept to final product has been filled with challenges, learning, and ultimately, the satisfaction of creating something truly unique for the bowling community and something to help elevate our game.
