Igotcha Ball Retriever

Good quality ball retriever, remains quite rigid even at full extension the clip that stops it opening while in your bag is a good feature. Very pleased with the purchase.

Love this gadget, having to use a bit too much as still an amateur golfer and drawn to water ... but it works well, easy to use, a key tool in my golf bag!!

Easy to use. Compact. Length described include arm length.

I first saw the iGotcha being reviewed on a YouTube channel and thought it looked a decent product. I'm a member of a local golf club which has a few bodies of water on it, and it would appear lots of members who could do with some lessons as a huge number of balls end up in the water. This became more apparent the more I played so I thought I would purchase one of these and start replacing some of the many balls I had hit into the same water (I'm now having lessons!!)Believe me this thing was scooping balls out of the lakes like no-one’s business. It's so simple to use, you extend it to the length you require, make sure that the clip on the retriever has been released, locate, and then push down over the ball, it locks into the retriever, and you bring it to shore.There are cheaper versions/copies out there, I have tried some, they come nowhere near this one.Sadly, I got a bit carried away one day after a particularly fine birdie and left my iGotcha on the green of the 18th...some lucky person behind me was obviously so impressed they kept it so I had to buy another one. The iGotcha isn't cheap but if your local course has water and rubbish golfers buy one, it may just mean you never have to buy another golf ball again. I most certainly haven't since my original purchase.

Well made strong product that isn't flimsy at full stretch

These have been around for years but this one seems to be pretty good.

I have had one of these ball retrievers for over 20 years and it is without doubt the best. I bought another one for my son who recently took upGolf. I like to use the retriever in the open or activated position as it then takes hardly any pressure to pick up a golf ball which can be especially helpful in water. Once the ball is captured it can’t fall out. I love the compact size and although longer retrievers could probably get the ball that is out of reach I don’t find that a problem. Don’t buy the copies, get the original iGorcha it will pay for its self in the long run.

it is good design.requires time for getting used to.once you got used to it is a brilliant tool in your bag
