Don't buy fhis from Adorama Camera
Rating: 1/5
I attempted to buy this range finder as a gift for my golfing buddy's birthday. I paid $20 in shipping and was told I would receive this product in 1-3 business days. Adorama never shipped the range finder. When I called a week later, they told me they had canceled my order. They refused to send me the product even though they charged my VISA card! They don't publicize their phone number and I'm currently out over $200!!!!
Excellent--BUT
Rating: 4/5
This is an excellent device that gives accurate distances on the golf course. It will measure to the pin, a bunker, or any other surface perpendicular to the direction in which you want to go.
BUT.....
The on off switch is positioned in such a way as to be activated when the unit is in its case. So the only way to prevent it from eating batteries is to either not use the case, or to paste a thick washer around the switch to prevent the case from contacting it.
Range Finder Designed for Golf
Rating: 5/5
My golf partner had this particular model and I became dependant on playing with him. When we were not playing together, I could estimate fairly close to the distance, but sometimes frustrating when I was off. Many range finders that are on the market were not designed for golf, but for hunting. It was too difficult for many of them to determine distance using the flag stick. Before I purchased this range finder, I did some research to find the best device for the least cost, and one that was designed specifically for golf. I first purchased a less expensive model, however even on par 3s, it had trouble ranging on the flag. Not a problem with this model. It is outstanding! Many golf shops sell this model for $400+tax. Stop by a few of your local golf shops, ask for this model number, and check out their price, then go back on line and order one for $125 less. If you want a range finder that was designed specifically for golf, you will not be disappointed. It's a great deal, and worth the investment.
