Customers find the golf practice mat easy to use. They say it's strong but easy to handle, it telescopes in and out with ease, and is fairly easy to control at full extension. It's great for picking balls lost in the Tucson desert, and perfect for retrieving that golf ball that decided to go swimming.

Much more than a golf ball retriever.

I have no intention of ever looking for golf balls with this item. While it is lightweight, the quality is solid, locking/unlocking works well and functionality / reach meets all my needs. Much better than the 15 foot version they make.

Color: OrangeSize: 22.5 InchVerified Purchase

This is a great retriever but with some significant drawbacks. The overall length when retracted is longer than my driver when in the bag. The head is made of plastic and doesn’t look like it will sustain even a light impact. I haul my clubs around from time to time with the bag cover on and I will have to remove this retriever from my bag when I do.
This retriever is very heavy compared to any other retriever I’ve owned, adding the weight of several clubs to my bag.
This retriever is impressively long and is fairly easy to control at full extension.
Overall, it’s not something I would buy again unless there is a macdaddy retriever contest!

Really strong and sturdy, but.... also heavy. When my golf balls seek shelter from me they are out of luck. I laugh at them when I pull out this retriever! NO where to roll to and no where to hide! Come on back to Daddy you miserable sphere! LOL!

Longest extension pole on Amazon! Great for a totem at festivals, although I wish it didn't bend so much when I whip it around like a mad man when that BASS DROPS!

Great for picking balls lost in the Tucson desert

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2018

Color: OrangeSize: 17 InchVerified Purchase

Great for picking balls lost in the Tucson desert, where you don't dare reach in with your hands or you will shed blood, every plant seems to have needles. This retriever is very easy to use, it's snatches balls, and locks them in the basket, effortlessly. The rounded head design prevents it from getting caught by plants when pulling the ball out.

Pays for itself over & over again

Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2021

Color: OrangeSize: 22.5 InchVerified Purchase

Have a 10' flimsy picker, but wanted something more sturdy and a longer reach. This picker fits the bill. Haven't had to use half the total length (12'-14'), but if I have to I know it won't break or bend. It has almost paid for itself and I've only had it for 2 1/2 months. Great purchase that will pay for itself.
