I haven't used a rangefinder before I purchased this one. If you want precise distance to the pin I would highly recommend this. It's a great size that fits easily in my bag.

Easy to store and carry onto the course. I like how compact and durable it is definitely what I was looking for in a good rangefinder. Of course it works great too, precise readouts of yardage and easy to read screen.

Previously using a GPS app on my iPhone and it was much better than nothing. I bought this GPS 6 months ago and dropped 2 strokes off my handicap almost immediately. Knowing exactly how far it is to clear a front bunker, to the pin or to other reference points is a powerful tool. Really helps on par 5's. I used to go for them every time I had any chance of getting there. Now I lay up to 90 yards or so and am scoring much better. Only Rangefinder I have ever owned so can't compare brands. Picked this one because it is waterproof, a must for Louisiana. It'd worked great.
