Some Rock Climbers use Clip Sticks to avoid injuries when clipping in their first quick draw on a route, especially important if the first anchor bolt hanger is high from the ground. I believe Telescoping Clip Sticks are mostly made for rock climbing carabiners in various designs. Primarly not the tripple locking carabiners common in the tree industry. I´m not a Rock Climber myself but interested in their climbing gear.
The longest Clip Stick I have found on the market are the BETA CLIMBING DESIGNS, Beta Stick EVO Ultra Long and the Access Pro. Length fully extended: over 21 feet. Current prices for EVO Ultra Long here in Sweden are around $100.00. Other brands are PONGOOSE and KAILAS, but they are shorter. The PONGOOSE Climber 1000 design looks very good, but only reaches 14 feet. Significant weight savings though. Maybe it´s possible to customize a Clip Stick for a throw bag or a small steel ball, like the way Daigentanoen in Japan have customized his telescoping pole. Just my thoughts.
I have to admit I´m not the best getting my throw bags up in the right canopy position. So apparently there are some time saving possibilities here and also avoiding a frustrated mind, when using a telescoping pole set up. Also been experimenting with a hand held Sling Shot and a small threaded Steel Ball with a screw on ring connected to the throw line I have in my saddle bag. Have to say the learning curve for me are such a long journey but a quite fun one. I also recently broke my DIY wooden Sling Shot on my last rec climb. There`s no room for experimenting when it comes to safety though.

Mmmmm spicy wire
Found carbon fiber slide out telescoping fly fishing rods but they end up tiny at the tip like 1 mm dia but if you got a longer one and then used one or two extensions less so you had some decent diameter at the end:
There's shorter ones too. $100 to $300 approx probably plus shipping
Here's the daigentanoen fellow doing a 4 1/2 minute fight with an obstacle messing him up. Still not bad. His deployment hook is the bees knees. It appears to me the weight rides in a small cup with the throw line routed in the groove, over something and back to the weight, surmising he pulls the weight over the branch and the icing on top is the throw line slides in the groove instead of through the tree sap! Allowing the small weight to be enough. 13 m placement. turn the subtitles to translate to english.. Minor dislike - spurring the cedar tree on a rec climb
Here he gives a closeup of the cup, ball, tube and line-hooked-around-pin
