Paul Hedrick Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 At the risk of raising the ire of someone who is superior to me, I will ask a question that might piss them off. Yes, I have searched the database for a thread that covers this, but could not find one. Please excuse my egregious error if there was one and I did not find it. What have you bought, golf related, that you really wanted, but after you bought it, you now consider it a waste of money? As for myself it is a laser rangefinder. Since I have started using a gps app on my phone, I cannot remember the last time I’ve used my laser rangefinder. downlowkey, BIG STU, Gusset and 1 other 3 1 Quote Bag C130, 14 way Cart Bag Driver TSR1 Fairway GBB Epic 5 Hybrid Epic Flash 4H Iron 2 iron Irons Launcher HB, 4 through PW Wedges CBX2, 54 & 60 degree Putter Seemore Si1 Putter Ball Titleist pro v1x Other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downlowkey Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 While I’m a huge fan of laser rangefinders, the Shot Scope Pro L1 unit that I put into play a few months ago has been returning garbage distance readings of late - it’s all over the place. Definitely feels like wasted money right now but hopefully the replacement they’re sending out will be an improvement.

Early on my SC200 was spot on compared to Trackman for swing speed and ball speed. Over the winter (2021) something happened and the variance next to other monitors is +/- 7 mph. At one point I had found a way to reset it, but since lost the instructions and couldn't get customer support to respond. BTW, I agree on the Golfbuddy - my wife is usually cycling it on and off a couple of times because of signal loss. cksurfdude and fixyurdivot 2 Quote Left Hand orientation SIM 2 D Max with Fujikura Air Speeder Shaft Cobra Radspeed 3W/RIptide Shaft 410 Hybrids 22*, 26* Cobra Speed Zone 6-GP/Recoil ESX 460 F3 Shafts SM7 54* Wedge Glide 3.0 60* Wedge O Works putter V3 NX9-HD - 4 Wheel EZGO TXT 48v cart - too many shoes to list and so many to buy And BAG Boy Golf Balls: Vice Pro Plus 2020 Official Tester Beginning Driver Speed - 78 2019 Official Tester 410 Driver 2018 Official Tester C300 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still using the Precision Pro I tested for MGS quite a few years ago--- I do not rely on GPS. A lot of my scramble partners use GPS and can not understand when I come up with a different yardage. I tell them mine are at the pin and they still do not comprehend. Also at my home course which I know like the back of my hand I calculate the distance the ball needs to land plus take in the slope and wind. Most of the time when playing by myself I do not even take my rangefinder out of the bag. I know where I need to hit the ball as far as yardage and pin placement.

edingc Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Tough call. I did, for a while, carry around a lot of non-versatile clubs that might get used only once a round. I still have a few clubs that are not used often (2 hybrid, namely), but everything in the bag is something I can hit and can be used in multiple situations. Even my training aids have a purpose, but there are plenty that can be had for cheaper if you DIY or find used. The DownUnder Board comes to mind. Very useful for me, but realistically a baking pan would provide the same feedback at 1/6th of the cost. golfish! 1 Quote Unofficial WHS Handicap: 7.5 / Anti-Cap: 13.0 (Last Updated Feb. 19, 2024) Driver: Callaway Paradym TD (10.5°, -1/N), 45.75", Fujikura Motore X F1 6X | Fitting Post 3 Wood: Cobra RadSpeed Big Tour (14.5°), 43", Fujikura Motore X F1 7X 20° Hybrid: PXG 0211 (2020 Model), 40.25", Mitsubishi Tensei AV RAW White 90X 4 Utility: Cobra KING Utility (2020 Model), 38.5", Aerotech SteelFiber i110cw Stiff 5-PW: Ben Hogan PTx Pro, 37" 7 Iron, Aerotech SteelFiber i125cw Stiff | Club Champion Fitting 50°, 54°, 58°: Edel SMS, V Grind, Nippon Modus 125 Wedge| Official Review Thread Putter: L.A.B.

I am also an engineer and firm believer in multiple sources of data to confirm. I do find the GPS app is limited in the sense that it does not know the pin location for each day so that is where the range finder comes into play.

If the pin is a "red" flag, I split the difference between Front and Middle; if the pin is a "blue" flag, I split the difference between Middle and Back. Sometimes it's helpful on a par 3 to know the exact yardage, and my wife will always oblige. cnosil 1 Quote “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the software updates that have occurred of late have made improvements (I haven't played for a few months), but at this point in time, there's little chance of choosing to renew my subscription once it expires. Were you using the Link or phone to detect shots? I had the link and missed a lot of shots. Worked with support and turned out there was an issue with my Link (played a couple rounds with phone in pocket that worked much better for shot detection) so they sent me a new one. Some other tips, the sensors are photosensitive activated by sunlight so overcast days/early morning/twilight may miss some shots. Also if you have to pull multiple clubs from the bag, carry them upside down until you chose your club. I then take my towel and cover the sensor of the club I'm not using. I was on the verge of pulling the plug myself until I got the new link.
