This retriever has paid for itself. I have rescued literally hundreds of balls that I could never have reached with my old 8' retriever. It's a little heavy but I doubt it could weigh much less without creating strength or quality problems.

Purchased couple months ago ("2009"}, works real good, but one day crossing a bridge we spotted a couple of golf balls side by side in deep water, extended retriever to the full 24' reached and retrieved one ball lifting straight up felt strain on end of retriever lifting through water, reached and retrieved second ball lifting straight up and also felt strain on end of retriever lifting through water and was bent third extender from tip. We though it hit something lifting out of the water, not so, couple of weeks water was low bottom was clear and debris free. Maybe I lifted the retriever up to fast or freak flaw in product. I have to give it 5 stars for retrieving golf balls, 1 star longevity, sorry. So much for one year warranty. Would I buy another one --- maybe.

The first time I attempted to use the retriever, the second section wouldn't extend. After using the pole, the third section wouldn't retract, no matter what we tried to do. Then the first section bent, and broke. I spent $39 + shipping to retrieve one golfball, and I complain about titlest being expensive, lol.

Seriously this product didn't work at all, do yourself a favor and buy a shorter retriever.
