Jawatek...You asked which extendible boat hook that I like..here it is. Expensive, but worth it IMHO.

10sne1....Since I use the "long rope" method of launching, I also pull my boat toward the dock. If the wind is blowing, I also have to STOP the bow from hitting, as yours did.
I bought a two-part, extendible boat hook some years ago. It is at hand when the boat comes to the dock, and I redirect the boat off to the side so she doesn't hit too hard.
The combo of the extendible shaft and special boat hook is expensive. But, a very valuable feature is that I can affix my strap hook onto it and hook my bow latch without getting wet most times. All in all, it has made my launch and recovery experiences much better.
