Search 'N Rescue Magic Gripper

I love that it’s so compact that it fits in my side pocket of my golf bag and yet it extends to 14’..BUT it’s a bit hard to grab balls, too flexible, not sturdy enough and the grabber will not pick a ball up if you are in mud.For the price it’s disappointing.

This is the fourth ball retriever I have owned. It is rugged; I've had it going on two years. The others, with their plastic pieces, broke within a year. The "magic" feature works okay if the ball is sitting on firm ground and is easily reachable, but you can't always press down to snatch the ball, like if it's in water. When you extend it fully it's too whippy to work. But you can usually slip it under the ball to get it. These are essential in desert prickly plants. It is very compact – neatly fits in a pocket of your golf bag.

Front piece breaks or comes out easily

Better than cheaper versions I have seen elsewhere. Like to length and that it neatly collapses so you can hide in golf bag pocket rather than out with the clubs

I have had this ball catcher for a month. A ball got stuck in the circle and by putting a small amount of pressure on the top it snapped. I would not recommend and I will not buy from them again. Not a durable product.

This is a good product.

This could be, in my opinion, the best golf ball multi-area retriever on the market today. I say could. I’ve had one of various size for over 5 years. I currently like the 18’ reach ones. They telescope (like an antenna) out and slide back in after retrieving your golf ball. This hides perfectly in a side pouch (not standing up in a club pocket). I’m very meticulous with my gear and take care of things. This is great for in the bushes, when your looking for a far reach etc. Easy to get the ball from the top or bottom, even in soft sand/muck under water. My only issue with this is the fact the joints in the extensions rusts out. After time you will pull it out and end up pulling the top completely out of the shaft. Like I said, I take care of my gear. I pull this out after I get home form my round and towel it off but water gets inside and there’s no way to get it out. I tried another retriever but don’t like that it sticks out of you bag next to your clubs. This one tucks away ut of sight in a side pocket. This is my 3rd 18 footer and I love it! Just expect to buy one every couple of years or so. I play twice a week all year long and obviously I don’t always find water but at times we all do. Some people have talked about the top falling off. I have never had that issue. The more you extend it it does get thinner and as long as your careful you should not have a problem. Fix the rust issue and this would be 5 stars!

Easy to carry in golf bag and easy to use to retrieve balls you can see but unable to reach with your hands
