I need to regrip my ball retriever for my upcoming attempt to make it on tour...any suggestions?

[TourSpoon]

With daylight savings shortening my afternoon practice time it got me to think that my timeline to make it must be extended.   I have also have a few questions to prepare me for tour life.

Is there a tour issue ball retriever?

Will Pinnacle give me a ball contract?

Is there a book I can read that will give me a better game and allow me to average 300 in real life, not just on the Internet?

Anyway, I was just kind of bored and wanted to lighten the mood and say, "I made you look"!   Time to take advantage of those early morning tee times.

Regrip with IOMIC.  Only tour pros use 25 dollar a piece grips.

LOL.

I got a friend of mine & whenever I hit a shot that smacks off of a tree and I cuss he says,

"There's something you don't hear much on the tour."

I hear Scotty Cameron has been working on one, "inspired" by the one Karsten Solheim designed 40 years ago. The biggest hold up is what the color scheme will be an what So Cal city to call it. I hear Chula Vista is in the runnings.

Full cord or half cord. Maybe a multicompound. Is it forged or cast?

Do you interlock or overlap when retrieving a ball?

Have you thought of doing an instructional vid?

[TourSpoon]

Obviously, it should be good in wet conditions.

I am now further confused, as my irons are forged, my Vokeys are cast, so what should the retriever be?  Also what models are conforming to the new groove rules?  Finally, the most obvious question is graphite or steel?

Thank you for not being haters and saying that I will never make it.

i don't know about a book you can read, but i know there is a club you can use to add 50 yards to your drive.  from what i understand, it's true power is unleashed when you yell things like BOOM and POW at impact.

And the following options and prices are proposed:

$299 - base model

$599 - limited edition

$4,999 - signature series

Actually, I found the PGA Tour Ball Retriever on the following site:

It even has the logo so you know I will be legit!  Still the Scotty Cameron model is intriguing.

Just reviving this thread since I am still anchoring when retrieving balls. I think I have a few years to comply though. I found a great deal on a Boo Weekly camo model. The problem is I put it down next to the green and couldn't find it. Maybe a Bubba pink shaft would have been a better choice.
