This retriever can grab a ball anywhere. very long and sturdy. dont buy the rubber ring type retriever. It's cute but cant grab a ball out of the slop. This one will.

This is the second one we bought. He was very happy with it, and often uses it to retrieve not just his ball buy those of other people in his golf group. It held up for about 7 years of frequent use and when it finally broke we bought the same one because it works very well. There was a problem with this order, but Amazon resolved it quickly in a way that was more than fair.

High quality. Highly recommend this product. Wish I didn’t need it, but I do. Hahah

Item was as described. Picks up balls easily.

This ball retriever is easy to use, extends at least 20 feet, and can be carried in your bag. I am now the designated ball retriever in my foresome.

I have had many ball retrievers and most do not even hold up a few weeks. This ball retriever is fantastic and I bought the one that is the longest and extending it out to the full length I can still get balls easily out of the water. If you’re a golfer this is a must have in your bag.

Pretty good ball retriever, not exceptional, but not bad either.Pros:Much sturdier retriever than the ones with plastic circle end (have gone through 3 of those)--connection to the telescopic shaft is much better qualityOnce you get the hang of it, works really wellWill pay for itself within a weekend (typically)Neutral: Pretty heavy--put this as neutral because the weight makes it feel sturdy and better put together compared to other retrievers, but can be a bit difficult when fully extended.Cons:When fully extended, requires some strength to maintain--retrieving end is pretty heavy/awkward, and the telescopic shaft has some bend at the extension points which can make it a bit "wobbly" and may require both hands to use for some. If you're really reaching (holding onto a tree with one hand while reaching out for that "just out of reach" ball) it can be a bit more tedious than other retrieversBends at the end of each portion of the shaft when extended. This might be due to the aforementioned weight of the product, where some of the lighter retrievers I've used don't bend like this model does. Not a deal breaker, but can definitely be a deterrent for some--which is why I'm listing as a conOverall, I would definitely recommend this product due to the bang for the buck. I've had this since July and it's not showing any signs of wear & tear like some cheaper models have in the past. At under $30, you'll definitely make your money back if you enjoy checking the creeks/ponds within the field of play.
