Retired fitter and turner Snow Itzstein thought there had to be an easier way for an umpire to work out if a bowl was in or not. “It can be physically stressful trying to get down low and manage a hand held siter to check the location of a bowl, this simple invention takes away the stress and it becomes a great support for an umpire, a much easier way to get the job done quickly and accurately,” Itzstein said.
Snow and wife Gael are members at Deception Bay Bowls Club, where internationally qualified umpire Peter Landers is also a member.
“It’s made the sighting of a jack or bowl on the boundary line a lot easier because you just set it up and it sits there, it’s quick and easy to make the right decision, and everyone can see it’s correct, I’ve had a lot of success with it,” Landers said.
Snow custom-makes each Easy Siter to order, $130 pick-up from Deception Bay, or $150 including postage and handling to anywhere in Australia.

Snow is taking orders now for 2014.
He can be contacted on 07 3385 9838 or by email itzy@plrliving.com
“I can make one in half a day now, it keeps me busy and the cost covers my materials, it’s a pleasure to have created a tool that’s useful in our sport. Snow said 40 clubs around Australia have already bought an Itzy Easy Siter, seven from interstate, the rest from Queensland. “I’ve had nothing but good feedback,” Snow said.
