I use this item a lot around the putting green. I have a shag bag that hold about 75 golf balls that I have used in the past but I seldom chip that many balls at once. After about 2 dozen chips, there are too many balls on the green blocking the hole so I would stop and start over so this holds the right amount for me.Easily picks up the balls without too much grass clippings. It does have a little metal spring on the bottom which probably wont last forever but for the price if I get a couple years out of it, i will be happy.The only suggestion I might make is to make the top a screw on cap rather than permanent fixed.

Bought this for my other half and he says it's a great product. It makes picking his balls up a breeze.

What can I say it picks the balls up? Well nothing fancy.

Holds all my practice golf balls and easy to pick up and release.

Love the product, hated the sticker that took me about 40 minutes to remove. What company still puts stickers like this on their product? Why not use the easy-to-peel kind? C'mon, dudes.

Talked to a guy at the practice range about his. He loved it and I ordered one online on the spot. I had a larger shag bag with a canvas zippered bag Heavy and a hassle to get the balls out.This is light weight, convenient to pick up balls and simple to push the release on the ground or with your fingers to dispense the balls. It is convenient in that I can slide it in the umbrella pouch in my bag for trips to the range. Great product and great price.

A real back saver. Easy pick up and release.

My husband and I like to practice hitting golf balls in the backyard - but we both hate walking around and picking them up afterwards. This handy-dandy little tool makes it a breeze. No more bending down to pick up the balls. It makes a snap noise when the ball is securely in and picked up.

As described

It works fine like it's supposed to but the release button is a little goofy but it works.. I would recommend

Overall ok product. It arrived with scratches all over, not due to packaging or delivery. Seems it was lightly used or just poor handling when made. Pretty simple, light tube. Ok for the price.

I practice golf pretty much every day in the summer. I have a couple of acres and can get up to a 50 yard shot in my back yard. I also visit a local range now and then to practice putting and longer shots. I normally use a bucket of 20 balls in my yard and shagging them is a routine I have gotten used to using a pitching wedge to flip them into a bucket - which works well enough, and on the putting green I use my putter to grab them. I usually hit 100-200 balls in a session so it can take some time when you add it all up.Then I was at the putting green a few weeks ago and saw a gentlemen using one of these devices and had to have one. The price of this model was right and the reviews were good so I gave it a shot. Used it last night for the first time and it works pretty well - even on the lawn which was a little of a concern. At first I was not getting a solid click all the time when picking up a ball, but figured out to just be a little more forceful or move on to anther ball and use it to push them both in. It does get a little less consistent on taller grass, but it's still better and faster than using a wedge or bending over to pick them up by hand. It's a bit of a technique that I had down after about three or four buckets. I also marked the outside of the tube with a sharpie to show when there are 20 balls, just so I know I have them all.My only concern is the release\locking lever. The instructions say to use you foot to activate the lever and release the balls, which works fine, but it makes me wonder how long the lever will last with this method. If there is a weak part to this device it is how the lever is made and attached to the tube and it is the same lever that makes the click and holds the balls in the tube. So if the lever breaks, the device becomes useless. Other than that, the tube is made of pretty heavy translucent plastic that should last a long time - just the lever is a concern.I have not had it to the putting green yet, but since it works so well in the taller grass I felt I could do the review now. I do have one picky beef for the manufacturer. There was some documentation in the tube which was easy enough to get out, but there was also a sticker on the outside of the tube that was a pain to remove. Leaving the sticker on would block visibility of the top part of the tube so it is meant to be removed IMO. So why would they use a sticker that does not easily peel off. I ended up having to use some mineral spirits to remove the paper and glue left behind. I did not want to scrap it off and damage the tube. Yes I know I am being picky, but come on...not a hard thing to change.Right now I am loving this thing and it is some of the best money I have spent recently. If the release lever lasts even one year, I will still consider if a good deal. If it does not I might try a model with a different mechanism. But right now I am pleased with the purchase and consider it money well spent.

Easy golf ball retrieval tool

Extremely Sturdy and Lightweight

It's okay as a shag stick but with a little modification and some good old fashioned ingenuity it makes a pretty fantastic slide bong. Just sayin.

I love it. very good quality!
