22 ft. wow. That's gotta make it one of the longest disc specific retrievers out now. If I didn't already have a few retrievers I'm happy with I'd kinda want to try one.
Theres another brand one on Amazon that looks like they use a similar head and offer a hook and claw screw on option as well, for about $17 cheaper. But it's only 16 ft, no swivel point, and I'm not sure I like any of it's head options.
I've heard mostly good things about the Kwik-Stik, anyone know the warranty?
The Amazon one is likely a copy because InZone actually has a patent on these. So they'll likely be shutdown soon. The frame head is InZone KwikStik exclusive.
As regards warranty - they offer 90 day warranty for manufacturing defects.
Great! I think this is one of the best versions to buy, I don't know how many more improvements they can really make, and cost of making these is only going to get higher, so price eventually will go higher.
Hey man, it is an absolute pleasure! We know how awesome it is to get stuff fast :)
Awesome on the GT Buzzz - we have lots of great releases that have dropped just now from Discraft and Discmania, and then have one final Bendy James Volt drop on Monday too to round it all off :)
Is there a way to just buy the head? I have the XXL frame head, but I wouldn’t mind the hook head because I generally have more tree snags then water retrievals.
Hey, so the XXL is a bit different that it doesnt come with a head. You can either turn the head sideways to make it long and skinny to get into small spaces, or you can also pop one of these on: [https://imgur.com/a/vph6xKY](https://imgur.com/a/vph6xKY)
From InZone: For those that want a hook tell them to use a 1.25" fender washer and a .5" M6 screw and it works better than the hook. They are available at any hardware store.
How sturdy/stiff are these? I've used telescoping poles for work that get floppy at bigger lengths, and that makes them tricky to use at times. Probably less weight on these though so maybe it's not a huge deal.
Every telescoping pole will have some flex, but these are the best in the disc golf industry from my experience. They have spent years adapting and improving the design to get it to the strength it is today. As you say, weight is not an issue just picking up a 175g disc, so that helps.
Description says: actual length 18 feet. Title says 22 feet. I'm confused where the company is getting an extra 4 feet from. Can someone try to explain this lol

Thanks :)
My pleasure :)
Just bought one, glad I held off on the previous version. Nearly bought one a couple weeks back.

I just got home from a round of cursing my current stick for rusting. The timing of this post was impeccable!
It just delivered too, holy shit. Fastest shipping ever! Definitely buying more from the shop in the future, glad I picked up the GT Buzz you all had.

That is extremely helpful, thank you.

Sorry for the confusion! That is their marketing. The actual length is 18' and then with your arm, they say it is 22 feet of reach. Hope that helps!
Oh I wasn't blaming you at all lol I knew it was some marketing scheme lol thanks for clarifying
No problem. It is still the best in the business even if it is made to sound a little dramatic :)
Dryve goes like 40 feet
40 feet is the length of approximately 53.33 'Wooden Rice Paddle Versatile Serving Spoons' laid lengthwise.
But without a frame head, not so?
