5Ws: And Why
The Story Behind the Orb Reactor: From a Cattle Scratching Post to NEW disc golf game!
The genesis of the Orb Reactor stemmed from a common frustration among disc golf enthusiasts: the lack of truly portable and convenient disc golf baskets. Traditional portable baskets, while functional, were often too heavy, clunky, and cumbersome for easy transport and stowing. This challenge sparked the ingenuity behind the Orb.
The pivotal "aha!" moment came during a road trip. Driving down the road Tom noticed a scratching post designed for cattle and horses, and the idea popped into his head… what if a target could "pop out of a tube," instantly forming a spherical shape? This initial concept for a dynamic, deployable target, inspired by the simple yet effective design from a farm animal's scratching post, became the foundation for what now is called the Orb.
From that unexpected inspiration, Tom headed to a local hardware store to explore the feasibility of his vision. The components he found confirmed that it was indeed possible. From there, the evolution of how the game came about, along with the development of the Orb Reactor itself unfolded. It's a testament to innovation born from everyday observations and a desire to solve a persistent problem for disc golf lovers. Huck some disc anywhere, anytime…
