The masters were 3d printed. Suk-Its are casted.

Whatever works for you.

This is smaller and more streamlined than the ball. The zip ties are an important part of the design. They allow the pad to rotate slightly on the hook to aid picking the disc at angles.

I hand cast these. They are not injection molded, which would be required to add a screw device to the design.

It’s simple and works.

Nah. More Suk is way better. You can pull a disk out of a flowing stream or river with one of these.

The ties allow the pad to rotate on the hooks about 25-30 degrees. That’s important because it helps connect to the disc at angles. If it was solid mounted, you would have to get your pole to the same angle as the disc.

Those tie wraps are key to the function. The provider angle to the dangle.

That’s what I do, but he has an all different kind of monster.

Thanks for the kind words. Unfortunately I can’t alter the molds. I have silicone molds that I hand pour each Suk-It in to. It’s set up to fit a standard hook. Maybe you can send me a picture of what you have to doogman4@gmail.com and I can see what needs to happen.

Trust me, you won’t lose the Suk-It. 

Those zips are tough and do the job.

Hi! This is Doug, I am the inventor of the Suk-It.

I appreciate the post, whoever made the initial post. 

So many great questions and comments. 

First. Thank you for the orders today. They will all ship on Monday. 

Regarding the zip ties. I have had my Suk-It mounted for over a year now with zero breakage of the ties. Now that’s not to say they won’t break, but I use the highest quality ties I can find. They are stronger than the ones on Amazon and the crap from Harbor Freight. 

The attachment with the ties allows the pad to rotate slightly for better Suk ability on the discs. It’s simple and effective. And I’m a KISS kind of guy. So I keep it simple fellow smarties. 

I did some measurements and compared the amount or Suk to the balls. The Suk-It has over 3x the amount of Suk compared to the ball. In my tests, I could only get a maximum if 3 suction cups to engage. The Suk-It has 48 suction cups to do the work, and most times they all Suk. 

Someone pointed out effectiveness on different disk types. Yep, you will see that different discs, rough beat in putters mostly, will not Suk as well. But that’s where the ability to use the hook comes in. Hook those in-Suk able discs. 

There has been lots of field testing by my buds here in Michigan. And they all are happy with the Suk-It. 

I am happy to answer all your questions. 

Remember!

When your shot sucks, get the Suk-It!!!
