Big Balls

Myles Doak, from Newmarket, Ontario, previously appeared on the show in season six with the Original Hockey Lace Belt, and returned asking for $50,000 for 20% of Big Balls, an oversized golf ball product designed to improve putting practice. The balls are 30% bigger than regulation size but retain the same roll and weight, sell for $20 for a pack of two, and cost about $3 Canadian to produce fully packaged. The company had done $20,000 in sales over 30 days through a Kickstarter campaign and Myles Doak projected $300,000 in sales for the year, with about 10 golf courses currently signed on toward a goal of 100.

Michele Romanow and Manjit Minhas both declined to invest, with Michele Romanow arguing the valuation was too high relative to sales and noting the product could easily be copied. Joe Mimran initially withdrew his offer after Michele's comments but then changed his mind and rejoined Jim Treliving, who had already offered the full $50,000 for 20%. Arlene Dickinson also offered to match the deal but Myles Doak chose to go with Jim Treliving and Joe Mimran together.

We haven’t confirmed whether Big Balls is still operating.
