Max Disctance says this about the retriever: "This is the official patent-pending Max Stick retriever! It is 16ft long with the Max Disctance suction cup ball attachment. It also has a loop on the end of the pole to help clip it to your bag or cart. These are the Gen2 version."
It's no surprise that the Max Disctance 16-foot steel retriever is one of the most popular disc golf accessories on the market. Its combination of functionality, affordability, and durability makes it an essential tool for every disc golfer's bag. Max Disctance's innovative suction-ball attachment design shines especially when it comes to rescuing discs from the water.
Like any metal tool, the steel pole can show signs of rust after prolonged exposure to wet conditions. Simply dry the pole thoroughly after use to extend its lifespan significantly. Furthermore, applying a dry lube to the pole's joints can further improve its overall lifespan. Max Disctance also offers more premium, carbon fiber options that won't rust.

Main Features
Works especially well at retrieving discs from the water with its innovative suction-cup ball attachment
Sturdy steel construction
Expands to 16 feet, which is sufficient for retrieving most lost discs
Great price & prompt shipping. Got it primarily for a water retriever but have used it to retrieve my disc from poison ivy and once from stuck up in some kudzu. Works great.
I little heavy, but that is needed for strength. I received it and on the first day I used it I retrieved 6 discs. It paid for itself on the first day.
Super novel idea. The suction works well, it’ll stick on almost any flat surface dry or wet.
Doesn’t work well in running water or in vegetation. You have to “stick” the disc, meaning you need to have room to slap it. All the torque broke my pole after about 6 months of use.
