The Court Grabbers® Story

Hello, my name is Steve McLaughlin. My son Seth and I developed our equipment to finally give players, in all indoor sports, the ability to control their traction where you play-ON THE COURT, WITHOUT USING YOUR HANDS.
The inspiration for Court Grabbers® came while observing Seth, then 10 years old, and his teammates repeatedly slipping and falling at basketball practice.

All of the boys on the team had brand new shoes and in spite of this, they were falling all over court! We thought there had to be a solution to the problem other than the old, ineffective "solutions" of sticky mats and wet towels, and the very unhealthy habit of wiping your shoes with your hands or licking your hands and wiping your shoes.

​All previous "solutions" have the same major flaw- they are applied off the court and quickly wear off once you walk on the court. We realized that what was needed was a way to clean the dust off your shoes while you are on the court, playing. It had to be light so the player would not feel it on the shoe, and it had to be durable and not cause any problems on the court.

We knew this would be a tremendous benefit to players in basketball, volleyball, racquetball and all indoor court sports. So Seth and I began developing actual equipment that attaches to the shoe and restores incredible traction anywhere on the court, during play!

Prototyping

​We introduced our test model in July of 2013 and attracted the attention of the NCAA, several retailers and other organizations. In 10 months we shipped Court Grabbers® to 13 countries and 43 states, all with no marketing, just word of mouth and web searches. We had proven that Court Grabbers® were the best solution ever developed for the worldwide problem of slippery courts! But we knew we had to refine them for mass appeal.

We then spent 16 months designing and testing our current model, which has been very well received by all who have used them. Our patented design provides the most dependable "On-Court" traction in the history of sports. Athletes in 16 sports have found our equipment allows them to play at a higher level of performance and safety and allows them to completely eliminate from their game, the unhealthy and energy sapping habit of wiping their shoes for traction.
