The original "emergency raingear" concept that eventually evolved into PonchoBalls was conceived in late 1994 by the company’s president. While playing golf at a very exclusive resort golf club with clients, he and his playing partners were caught in an unexpected rainstorm - and the club’s staff offered them garbage bags to cover their clubs!

It sounds obvious to those of us golfers who have used them before that there is probably a way to market a disposable bag to golfers to cover their equipment. But what is it? The idea to encapsulate the covers into small "golf balls" provided the answer - DisposaBalls for the player!

The original DisposaBalls Trio-Paks, launched in late 1995 provide an effective and convenient way to keep golfers’ clubs and other gear dry when caught unexpectedly in the rain. DisposaBalls are twist-open golf-ball capsules, similar in size and appearance to actual golf balls. They are packaged in a familiar and attractive Trio-Pak sleeve of three balls, each packed with a unique raingear product:

Ball #1 A full-size Club Cover for the clubs and bag,

Ball #2 A Card Keeper to protect the scorecard, and

Ball #3 A Gear Bag for other miscellaneous gear on the player’s cart.


DisposaBalls found immediate success within the corporate and outing marketplace and fueled the development of the PonchoBall Golf Model. PonchoBalls employ the same patented item-in-a-capsule packaging approach that fueled the interest and practicality of DisposaBalls.

This unique in-a-capsule packaging concept lends a high level of excitement, interest, and convenience to otherwise practical and necessary items. Thus, PonchoBalls offers a clever and high-impact merchandising or promotional approach for a "necessity" item, turning it into a great souvenir or promotional tool.

PonchoBalls are an entirely new product line, with 1999 representing the launch year for The Golf Model. The success of the PonchoBall Golf Model drove the development of the entire line of PonchoBalls & PonchoWheels with a total of eight models currently available with others to come:

Golf Model
Baseball Model
Football Model
Stock-Car Racecar Wheel Model
Open-Wheel Racecar Wheel Model
Soccer Model
Tennis Model
Smooth-Ball Model
Basketball Model (currently in prototype)

The in-a-capsule concept creates such interest, practicality, and excitement that it lends itself to a variety of other new applications. PonchoBalls, Inc. has leveraged this novel packing concept by introducing other clever new in-a-capsule products:

• Ear Plugs, Sunscreen, and a Moist-Towelette

TeeBalls utilize this same patented packaging approach to create a practical new way to organize tees, ball marks, and a divot repair tool . . . some of a golfer’s most essential equipment! What a unique new tee gift!
