THE PERFECT BALL RETRIEVER!
By Tommy from Menasha,WI on April 16, 2013

Just received my I GOTCHA ULTIMATE XL BALL RETRIEVER and can't wait for its first useage. I formerly has the IGOTCHA EXECUTIVE XL but it passed away. My fault, not the mfg's. These ball retrievers are AWESOME!!!!! So small, convenient, reliable and effective! However - just remember to dry them off during your round and after you get home if you pull balls from the water or it will start to rust up on ya. Also, when extending make sure not to over-extend - you pull the poles apart - uhh, shot is an understatement. But I do love these and in a few short rounds they pay for themselves. Really wish I was the only one who could own this item so then I could get all the balls myself. ;)
Pros:
Size
Ease of use
Reliability
Cost
ConvenienceCons:
That any and everyone can purchase this item. LOLI would recommend this item to a friend.

Fantastic
By Den from Christchurch, Canterbury on June 5, 2012

Just love it. On its first outing it capture 2 balls and retrived my own ball. I can see this repaying itself in no time.
Did notice that on folding it up its got a hole in the bottom and water ran out the bottom of it. Just need to watch out that you don't hold that part with your gloved hand otherwise it will get wet. Great design.
Pros:
What a great unit. Its looooonggggg. Couldn't believe how long it was.I would recommend this item to a friend.

Gotcha works like a champ
By Mac from Colorado Springs, Colorado on November 18, 2011

Used my brother-in-laws and thought I've got to have one of these. Having a retreiver that fits in your bag as opposed to taking up space in one of your club slots is a strong plus. It's reach is more than adequate for typical situations. So far it works fine. Can't do without it.
Pros:
Compact. Is located inside my bag and not in a club slot. Works great.Cons:
Other's have questioned it's reliability but so far mine works well.I would recommend this item to a friend.
I've almost paid for my retriever with the balls I have recovered!
By Debra A Duncan from Oklahoma/Colorado on September 9, 2011

This little gem has almost paid for itself already. I've only had it a few weeks and have already recovered several brand new balls! It is easy to use and once you have the ball trapped, it doesn't fall out! I opted for the Ultimate XL because my water hazards at my home course are pretty deep and wanted to be able to recover balls easily. I am very pleased with my "I Gotcha" retriever!
Pros:
Extends to up to 18 feet
Ball stays put once you secure it in the trap
Easy to useCons:
Sometimes the water current will disturb the spring-action trap before I'm readyI would recommend this item to a friend.
