CHAMPKEYPressure Golf Ball Retriever Performance Version - Thicken Stainless Steel Shaft with Rubber Grip Golf Retriever - Available in 9Ft / 12Ft / 14.5Ft / 16.3Ft

Unfortunately it works well. Heavy duty and solid. If you can see it you’ll be able to fish it out.

Good smooth extension, easy to use and light weight.

At this purchase price, you will absolutely get your money back in saved golf balls on the course, especially if you are a hack at golf like I am. I've already manage to save five golf balls between myself and my friends that otherwise we would have had to mourn the loss of in just 2 rounds. Completely recommended.

Works as expected

100% seems like it shouldn't work but it absolutely does. It's small enough to fit in my bag, pro V1s are approaching $5 a ball so if I can fish out a few it pays for itself. WARNING: You may start going "ohh that's a cool green ball" and fishing out balls you don't need or want. Please don't slow down the play of others by looking for balls. Not cool. P.S. anything over 9FT will probably break easily cause they are all made of thin wall tubes.

The size of the hole is literally too big to pick up a normal-sized golf ball. There are two rubber rings on the inside that I guess are supposed to grab the ball and hold it with enough grip/friction, but it's too big around and has no chance. I tried simply picking up several different brands of normal golf balls on my living room floor and I kid you not - wouldn't hold it. Only if I got it perfectly around it, rotated it about 90 degrees, and slowly brought it toward me would I be able to grab the ball, and even then that worked about 10% of the time. It's a shame, because the construction of the grabber is nice, but the one thing the tool is meant to do doesn't work. If you're looking for a cheap ball-grabber to throw in the bag, don't get this one.

Great ball retriever

A little tricky picking up the ball but does the job
