This is one of the best buys that I have ever made. We actually end up leaving the course with more balls than we arrived with. Many golfers cannot get to the balls that are hit in the water, etc.; however, we are able to retrieve our golf balls as well as others. It works fantastic!

I like dogs that’s why it’s a “golden ” retriever, it’s actually red but works good as gold. Has a nice long reach to keep you dry but get that ball back for you.

I’ve been carrying pocket size ball retriever with me on my golf rounds for a long time. I’ve tried several different models. They all seem to brake sooner or later at the cheesy extensions.

The Callaway model seems very sturdy and hopefully will last longer.

Unfortunately, it is heavier compared to other pocket size retrievers.

I like the well designed ball grabbing mechanism as well.

I only give it four stars because of the weight. I carry my bag and walk 100% of my rounds. Every ounce counts!

This retriever get the job done. It’s easy to expand and retract and easy to use.

Very good build but be prepared to get wet as it’s tubing seems to fill with water faster than you can drain it out(filled my bag with water and my grips got wet). It’s heavy build might make it last longer than a cheaper products but you pay for it with double the dollars, double the weight and it holds water. A rare phenomenon indeed but it’s overbuilt! I’ll buy a cheap lightweight retriever next time and pay 1/2 the price, have 1/2 the weight and keep my bag dry.
