 Written on September 7, 2008 Summary: A fun to use luxury golfing item. I bought this Bushnell Yardage Pro Golf Pinseeker 1500 Slope Edition Laser Rangefinder with Slope Calculator about a month ago. I enjoy using it. If you are good consistent golfer it can be very handy to accurately know the distance to your target. The slope calculator is a real plus in that it allows you to know how to compensate your play due to the degree of slope between you and the target. Although not impossible, I have found that I have trouble holding the Rangefinder steady while I aim it at the target location. I would recommend getting some sort of tripod, monopod, or clip on camera mount so that you can attach the Rangefinder to a stable surface such as your golf cart to enable you to easily get an accurate reading of the distance to your target. I purchased Sunpak ClampPod Pro Clamping Tripod from Amazon and it works well to attach the Rangefinder to my pull-cart. Overall I like this item. It is easy to use and lightweight. It is a little pricey, buy hey, no one said golf is cheap. Written on September 6, 2008 Summary: Strongly prefer this over GPS GPS and laser rangefinder (LRF) technologies each have distinct pros and cons. I chose the LRF mainly because 1) it got better reviews from users, 2) it doesn't require course loading, 3) it doesn't require annual fees and 4) I was impressed with it when I saw a friend use it. But I still wasn't sure how much its negatives vs GPS (mainly the line of sight requirement) would diminish its usefulness on the course. Now that I've used it for a few rounds, I'm really enamored with it. It's much more flexible than I thought it would be. One thing I don't like about GPS units is that they haven't mapped enough points from tee to green. With the LRF I can always find some useful target to measure. A tree, bunker, 150 pole, a person, a mound, etc, etc. GPS companies will say that the most useful yardages are to front, middle and back of greens. That's arguable. For me, having the distance to the pin +/- 1 yard is amazing. On most courses you at least know if the pin is cut front, middle or back. With that info and the exact yardage to the hole, I step up with a lot of confidence in my club and shot selection. Yes, I find it gets a bit more tricky to hit the flag from about 220 and beyond, but I've found tricks to get better at that and you will too. Plus, if I'm over 200, I just make sure that I have some clue where I am as a sanity check. If Bushnell figures out how to incorporate optical image stabalization into these units, that'll make them even better. But for now this is just fine. Some people wonder if having to look through the binoculars as opposed to looking down at a GPS unit is a disadvantage. For me it's a non-issue in part because the LRF locks on target so quickly. I love this golf gadget. It sure makes the round more pleasant than pacing off yardages, speeds pace of play, and I can honestly say that I think it's saving me strokes already. What a great toy. Get it as a gift if you can. ;) Written on August 31, 2008 Summary: Excellent Rangefinder! I've used this product for a few weeks and it works great! It can easily pick up a flagstick at over 300 yds. As mentioned in some of the other reviews, the less expensive range finders have difficulty in acquiring the flag (unless the wind is blowing). I tried one last year and took it back because it was basically useless. The 1500 performs exactly as advertised. Written on August 31, 2008 Summary: Pinseeker An excellent product that in my opinion is easier to use and more effective than GPS devices, not to mention that there is no annual fee. The price was also very competitive at Amazon and the unit arrived in three days with no shipping charge. Written on August 29, 2008 Summary: Bushnell Pinseeker w/slope Excellent product, but does require a steady hand at more than 125 yards from the flag due to 7 power optics. Have verified the distances shown using friends GPS units and found that it is most accurate. |
