We've all been there: after hitting a perfect drive on a par four, the shot into the green should be easy, but a surprise pin placement and a bunker in the way makes it impossible to gauge the yardage and where to place that all-important chip.
If that situation sounds familiar, help could be at hand thanks to the
Bushnell Tour V2 Laser Rangefinder With Pinseeker Technology, one of the best distance calculators on the market.
TaylorMade player and 16-time tournament winner
Sergio Garcia is a big fan of
Bushnell products and uses them on the professional tour.
"I have been a long time user of
Bushnell Laser Rangefinders," he remarked. "Their continuous product advancements and superior ranging capabilities help explain why so many players on our tour use them."
Bushnell says its latest addition is the world's smallest and technologically advanced rangefinder, measuring just 1.6 x 2.8 x 4.3 inches and weighing less than seven ounces.
Easy to carry around and complete with a case and straps, the Today's Golfer Gold Award winner is the perfect addition to any bag.
On the course, players can use its two modes: scan mode helps to identify the yardage to a certain spot on the fairway; pinseeker mode, meanwhile, tells users the distance to the flag with an accuracy of within one yard.
The distance to an object with a reflective surface can be accurately calculated from 1,000 yards away, while the same can be done with trees and the pin within 600 and 300 yards respectively.
On top of all that, these distances can be read in yards or metres, making it easy for everyone to work out what club is the best bet.
Lots of users have been able to capitalise on the features the
Bushnell Tour V2 Laser Rangefinder With Pinseeker Technology has to offer.
GolfOnline.co.uk customer Daniel Sandhal said he was surprised at how small it is, noting it "easily hides in the hand and you can carry it in your back pocket while playing".
Another, James Clark, said "This is a stunning piece of equipment. The laser is easy to set up and even easier to use in pinseeker mode, point, shoot, yardage. A lot of people say these are for single figure players only - I am an 11 handicapper and now starting to get a real handle of my yardages. Great product."
On Golfsmith.com, Peej remarked: "This product has allowed me precise distances and made course management a whole lot easier," while Vettenut69 described it as a "top notch product", adding he finds it "compact, lightweight, and easy to use".
