prowithlinStainless Telescopic Golf Ball Retriever for Water with Golf Ball Grabber for Putter, Accessories Gifts for Golfer (6FT / 9FT)

All my friends have ball retrievers and they save and collect so many balls that I thought I should join them. I liked the look of this one as it looked compact and well made. It arrived promptly and so far I'm very pleased. It works like an old-fashioned car ariel all be it a lot thicker and sturdier. You simply pull it out to the length required. There is no twist to lock device that many similar products use, this makes it quicker and simpler to use. Even at maximum extension, it feels pretty solid. But the best part is how small it folds down too, making it easy to store.

A very versatile addition to any golf bag. It expands to 15 foot but fits snuggly into any golf bag. Reaches far further than any normal ball retriever to recover those golf balls normally out of reach

Perfect little gadget that you didn’t think you needed. Just what you need to get those balls out of inaccessible places.

This is well made and strong. Has a good reach (3mtr) this is a quality piece of kit and would defiantly recommend

There is a dyke on our course that is a magnet for golf balls off the first tee and the number of golf balls I've had to pass on for fear of meeting a slippery, watery demise has been substantial. Well, no more. It is nice and light, fits nicely in my bag and takes up hardly any space. In use, at full extension, it is a bit of a wobbly monster, but in the water it is easy to control and once you get the knack of catching the ball, no lost ball is safe. In my first few rounds with it in my bag I have already found a dozen or so and it has more or less paid for itself already. I am a very happy bunny.Update: My free golf balls forever retriever is no more. Please be careful collapsing your retriever. At full extension the poles are quite slender and fragile. Mine has snapped. Very disappointed coz of my hamfistedness and the prospect of my supply of golf balls drying up.

A good, inexpensive, and sturdy ball retriever even when extended to its full length.

Replacement for one that was bought several years ago . Very useful. Arrived on time.

I've used this around 3 times now and although the metal 'rod' is sturdy enough, the black plastic cage that captures the ball has cracked. I've taped it up for now so it's still usable but my son bought another brand around the same time and his is much better/stronger.Does the job but could be stronger.
