    It came in today so I checked it out playing a few holes. Then I set it on the back deck and measured it to the pin out the back door. 89 yards. I got the tape out as the sun set when no one was around. It was a little off. 88 yards 23 inches. I can live with that! Well done Gogogo! $300 in my pocket saved and a great range finder in the bag. Great purchase!

    Another great review Stu! I've have the Wosports for a year it looks very similar to the Gogogo it cost $80 compared to several Bushnells and it has been within yard or two. No need to spend the extra on kit, I used the extra money saved for lessons!

    I've got the gogogo, I'm a high handicap. I like it, only problem is the operating instructions are garbage. Came here to make sure I was using it right, (not much help there) but a good review, I think it's well worth the money. One other problem, you can't turn the slope off on that model. Found it on e-bay for 51.00

      @@cartersmithgolf I have two Bushnells, one of them is an old Yardage Pro which was a hunting range finder, that Bushnell also sold for Golf. It's probably over 20 years old and still works as well as when I bought it from Cabela's in one of their fire sales 😉
      I would buy the Bushnell for exactly that reason...they're bulletproof (forgive the pun), last forever, just changing the battery is the only maintenance my old one has ever needed. Geoff (Pitch n Putt Golf) was good enough to give me the other when he decided to go GPS...result for me 👍👍👍 Sorted for range finders til I die now 🤣🤣🤣

    That range difference is well within the margin of error for almost any golfer. If you're so accurate from 100+ yards that a cheap rangefinder being off by 3-5 yards truly affects your shot selection or execution and causes damage to your scores, then please spend the extra money on the best rangefinder you can get your hands on, but for the rest of us, save the money and get one that ballparks you within 10 yards. That's plenty good enough for even good golfers let alone average

    Thank you so much! Found the Gogogo Sport Vpro GS03 for only $55 on Ebay. VS GS24: It can go up to 1000 (vs 650) yards, locks on a pin at 300 (vs 150 yards) and takes 1 C battery vs 2 AA's. It is also black. I ordered it. Thanks again. We try it next week. Question: Are the different readings wind dependent?

  • @MrC02pirate
    @MrC02pirate Год назад +1

    Shooting 2 lasers at the same target from the same position is a stupid idea as they may interfere with each other - EVEN if the 2 lasers are pulse lasers using different frequencies. Thus there is no guarantee that ranges stated were not affected by the other lasers reflections.
    Shooting one at a time would at least eliminate any possible interference.
    In fact the higher quality unit was most likely affected by the others laser as the higher quality unit maybe more sensitive.
    The lasers interfering with one another is also the most likely cause of the differing readings.

    I have the gogogo and on a hole, there was a 10 yard difference with a Bushnell... that cost me a shot... and I was wondering why my irons were always short... it's because my yardages were wrong

    • @cartersmithgolf
      @cartersmithgolf  3 года назад +1

      Yeah I think as with most budget devices the quality control can be inconsistent. Saying this I feel those yardages will be true to the device so I would always advice checking them against a true number (like a 150 yard marker or a marker on a driving range as apposed to checking it with another range finder). Thanks for watching. 🙏👍👍

      I'm thinking of getting a rangefinder (never had one before). My thought is that if I am going to use one on the course - then I will use it on the range, to see how far the rangefinder says I hit the ball. If it is consistently long or consistently short - it should still be helpful.
