RickyBobby_PR Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 There are numerous electronic devices around from gps, laser rangefinders, shot measuring devices on clubs, etc all designed to make the game easier, faster or both. With all these devices which one or ones do you use? Have you seen an improvement in your scores/handicap? Are your rounds any faster?

RickyBobby_PR Posted December 18, 2018 Author Share Posted December 18, 2018 For me I only use a gps unit and/or laser range finder. For the last year or so it’s been gps unit only. my scores and handicap haven’t been affected by only going to gps or when I play with out and only use course provided markers for distance. ive never been into having a device attached to my clubs because for my irons I care more about carry and not total and having it tell me how far my drive goes I can get that from my god unit Driver: PXG 0811 X+ Proto w/UST Helium 5F4 Wood: TaylorMade M5 5W w/Accra TZ5 +1/2”, TaylorMade Sim 3W w/Aldila rogue white Hybrid: PXG Gen2 22* w/AD hybrid Irons: PXG Gen3 0311T w/Nippon modus 120 Wedges: TaylorMade MG2 50*, Tiger grind 56/60 Putter: Scotty Caemeron Super Rat1 Ball: Titleist Prov1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony@CIC Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I use a GPS app on my phone along with the PP NX7 LRF. My index improved 8 strokes 2017 to 2018. However, not sure if I can attribute any of that to electronic devices. The app is particularly useful for me when it comes to course strategy - since it'll show the distance to bunkers.

bens197 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 The NX7 helped me confirm distances and gave me a chance to dial it in. With that in my bag I’ve shot 76 and I’ve shot 84 over a one week period. I’m not a very analytical golfer and as a result I’m often a slow adopter. I’ll hold onto it but it’s not saving me strokes.

GB13 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Just an NX7 rangefinder for me. It helps me dial in my distances and learn how to play different shots for different distances.

PING Apologist #9 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I use a LRF & a gap chart to help me with club selection based on distance as a starting point. When I got into this game, I really didn't have any clue what club would go what distance. Now I'm getting a clue, but I still have to execute the shot..! If I duff or skull it, at least I'm doing so with the right club in my hand... Has it helped? Certainly. More knowledge is good knowledge...

knightsofnii Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I use a Bushnell Tour V2 LRF and a Garmin S2 watch. The watch gives me quick and dirty distances. The LRF is nearly exact. If time permits, I keep those 2 and a field notes book in my pocket. I will LRF my distances, hit my shot, I can then use my watch to tell me the distance I hit the ball by selecting "measure distance," then going to my ball, then I record the distance (although this includes roll). Do this for a couple rounds, then you have a good guide for which club to select The watch is also really good for back/middle/front green distances. For the pin I use the LRF of course. I think over summer I was able to drop my handicap about 2 points. These tools helped with a strategy I incorporated that included decision point rules of thumb about when and when not to split long shots up or lay up. It got me using short irons way more.
