A revolutionary, affordable, pro-level training aid for golfers
Ellermont® approached us with a visionary concept for a golf training net equipped with an automatic ball return system. The challenge was to engineer a solution that consistently returned the ball to the golfer's feet regardless of how it was struck.
Ellermont® sought a breakthrough in golf training equipment—a net that would eliminate the need for golfers to retrieve balls manually, enhancing practice efficiency and convenience.
This goal required innovative engineering to ensure it would consistently work, could be sold at an affordable price point, e-commerce friendly box size, and easy to setup by just one person. We developed a revolutionary concept featuring a tensioned inclined net that rolls the ball back to the user. Automatic ball return is a game changer when compared to existing products where the player needs to walk up to the net, bend over and retrieve every single ball they hit. The size of the net is optimized for an immersive experience for golfers of all skill-levels.

To any inventor searching for a product design team I wholeheartedly recommend Waterloo Technical. Their work on the ELLERMONT® EDS golf net was exceptional. They had a deep understanding of the design process and persisted through every challenge it threw at us until we had a fully functional prototype that we could get to market. But more than that their attitude was always great, they remained highly invested in doing everything possible to see the product succeed which is a rare trait and not to be expected when engaging an agency. For those developing product, the invention process is a long one and picking the right team is essential. If you are evaluating options, advice would be to just go with Waterloo Technical.
