I would suggest that for us older guys, and there are a few of us, things like stabilization and magnification are important. Would love to see a 7x or even 8x, and/or stabilization in a straightforward rangefinder.

Those magnet ones are great but continue to grab it when the round is over. Now I put the case in the back basket as a reminder.

I purchased the TL1 based on your recommendation. My satisfaction rating is 8.5/10. The knockdown on the rating is twofold. First is with the flag lock - it works well unless small obstructions are in the way, like high native grasses. It will pick up on the top of the grass - using common sense it is recognizable and reshoot it trying to avoid the interference. The second miss is not having the capability to utilize flag pole reflectors.

Thank you. I just ordered the voice caddy, your 1 pick. Lost mine last week. This will be a big upgrade 😊

I bought the TL-1 based on his prior video. Once I replaced the included battery with a new name brand cell it has been rock solid. Love the slope function. 5 stars.

I see a new Canon rangefinder is out or coming out. Looks pretty good. Look forward to seeing your review on it…..great video as always.

I loved my x3 but it had some graphics moved off the screen so they replaced it with an X3+. still the best range finder on the market but i dont use it for wind, . The accuracy, speed and the 7x magnification are the most important features to me, I also use a garmin s70. if only the z30 was out before i bought my x3 i would own that for sure. Now gamin just needs to up the app game to compete with arccos and shotscope as its not close to either of those when it comes to stats.

I am slowly working my way up in price/features on rangefinders. However, I do have a GPS device on my trolley all the time which gives me approximate yardages

I started with a BOBLOV basic rangefinder, which I still use for competitions. It is cheap, very cheap (c.$50) it has no features, no flag lock, no stabilisation, no slope reading but it is accurate and uses USB charging.

I recently moved up to a Chinese knock-off Cigman for $80. It is small, it has slop reading, flag lock and I can adjust the magnification. The software is cr*p (who needs speed reading on a golf range finder), confusing but it works, it is accurate and again uses US charging. What surprised me was the build quality, of course at this price it is mostly plastic but it is robust and comes with a very good case.

TBH other than stabilisation, and my hands are not that shaky (yet!), not seeing a reason to spend more than that

Returned the Titan Elite after one round. Everything about it is awesome but the gps doesn’t work unless the phone is in your pocket or just a few steps from the cart or bag

[dan.promedio]

Can you review the Vortex rangefinders?

[sylvandude]

I was stunned, thought voice caddy cube would win

[deanbrayshaw]

Great update. Shame the TL1 is not available in the UK.

[legend]

I wish the new Garmin rangefinder had the triangulation you get with the Cube. Also wish the cube had a built in magnet.

[ArthurDentZaphodBeeb]

I rarely bother with my (bulky) rangefinder any more - I am using my Bushnell Ion Elite gps slope-adjusted watch - find it's way more user friendly - it's always with you and as accurate as I need. I don't want/need apps or stats or any other bs. KISS principle. And like all electronic devices, if you wait a year, there's something better and cheaper.

[huddwah]

Any chance you'd review the temu/aliexpress range finders? Not sure if you can access those in the states...?

40 usd will get you a range finder and 100 gets you one with an lcd screen on the side ... Would be amazing to see conparison with better brands !

[roberttoutaint]

you should have tested the Cigman ct 1000 range finder

[North_Carolina_Homestead]

When do we get a video on the best pull carts?

[brodierethamel]

Be careful with the blue tees. I’ve had one and returned it due to bad yardages and not getting a yardage period. Also to mention their customer service is TERRIBLE!!

[robertbarrett]

I was hoping the tec tec klyr would be on the list. What was the reason it wasn't?

[petegalindez]

Great stuff! However, you mis-represented the Precision Pro Titan elite…you only mentioned that it will give you front, middle, and back…but it will also give you the distance to the flag using the laser…than you hit the button to get the GPS distances to front, middle and back!!
