Golf ball retrievers are handy in snatching and retrieving stray golf balls from hard to reach or inaccessible areas such as water hazards or bushes. A typical retriever is about the length of a golf club but can be extended up to 12 feet or more. Some models can be retracted to as short as 18 inches and can hold more than one golf ball at a time. A golf ball retriever can use either a spring or a scooping mechanism to grasp a golf ball.
Types Of Golf Ball Retrievers
Kinds of Golf Ball Retrievers include the following:
A standard golf ball retriever is about the size of a golf club. It can fit an average golf club bag. It has a handle with a control on one end and a claw for snatching the ball on the other.
A 12- to 18-feet golf ball retriever usually has a metal cup head and a telescoping pole. It can extend to 18 feet long and can retract to the size of a golf club or shorter. Most models can hold up to four or five balls at a time. Most of these golf ball retrievers are compatible with different kinds of heads including ring heads, tear drop heads, cup heads, and rake heads.
A 24-feet golf ball retriever can extend up to 24 feet and retract to 43 inches. It can have one, two, or four ball heads. It is mostly used by golf ball fishers and used ball resellers.
Choosing Golf Ball Retrievers (Buying Tips)
Retraction: Choose a golf ball retriever that can be retracted to a small size for easy storage in the side pocket of your golf bag.
Lock: Look for a golf ball retriever with a locking twist grommet to lock the pole at any length
