Dryve Disc Golf Backpack Retriever Pole Golf Disc Retriever

I've had one for many years and they are great! George - BDGA

So far I like it but I did have a problem with it de telescoping after it extended it was very difficult to unextend.basically gets stuck in extended position

I had two shipped out. The first had a piece that was too small and resulted in the entire thing falling out of the handle. The shop was amazing and sent a replacement the next day, which exceeded my expectations. However, I reached back out because after using the replacement two to three times, it broke when my cart tipped over and the because the Dryve stick is so long, it sticks out of the cart pocket, like it would in any disc golf bag, and the end cracked in two places, again, meaning the 2nd largest piece falls out of the handle again. This thing contains about 1% carbon fiber or less. It is not durable, nor is it stronger than anything else on the market. Get a Kwik Stick, as they're actually more durable than the plastic with a thin layer of carbon fiber spray on it that Dryve uses. It also does not work with the Max Distance Max Stick suction cup retriever, which is the best thing for disc golf since fairway drivers were created back in the day. The shop originally said that since I broke it, there was nothing they could do, but I reached out to ask if they could please do something, as this thing is GARBAGE...Nothing against the shop at all, as I understand where they are coming from, but I also would hope they stand behind their products a little more. I mean, they could easily call Dryve and ask for a refund from them too...

My butt end cap came stripped had to glue it in so now systematic cleaning of telescopic pole will be dificult. I added a suction cup retriever end instead of the hook. I have another that has the hook and i sharpened the hook to a needle point and it works very well. Overall a great retriever but it takes finesse to fish some discs out.

Order arrived as anticipated! Looks great and works great!
