Hi. I have an inground pool with a pressure sided/venturi Pentair Racer. I hate suction side vacuuming. We have tons of pine needles that go right through the skimmer basket and clog the impeller. I avoided vacuuming all last year aside from the pool opening. The Racer kept the pool spotless all summer. This year I just put it in right after opening and it cleaned 95% of the pool except a couple small areas. I try to use the pool pole to wrangle it to go over the missed area but that does not work well. My question: does anyone make a real pressure sided Venturi head with leaf bag that you use via your pool pole and can connect to a the outlet connector that I use for the Racer rather than a garden hose? Are the pressure sided outlets and their connectors like I have for the Pentair Racer proprietary? If that’s the case it might limit third party items. Thanks.
Anyone know of a non-garden hose pressure side handheld (pole) vacuum?

The pole-mounted vacuum I see most often recommended around here is the Pool Blaster Max. I have one and it works pretty well. It comes standard with a mesh collection bag, but you can buy finer-woven bags to catch the really small stuff. It should work fine for pine needles.

Does the Pool Blaster Max have wheels? I'm having a new in ground gunite pool built with Stonescapes mini pebble plaster. Pool School says no vacuums with wheels with new plaster (but it doesn't say how long to AVOID using wheels on new plaster). I'm assuming somehow the wheels can damage the new plaster?
Yes, the Pool Blaster Max has wheels which could mark fresh plaster.
What I did was buy the cheapest vacuum I could find which had a flat rubber head, knowing I would only use it until the plaster was fully set. This is the one I bought. I would not recommend it for long-term use; I discarded mine once I was able to use my Polaris again. Check your plaster start-up guide for how long to refrain from using wheeled cleaners. Mine said 28 days.
