Longridge Laser Distance Finder

Just bought the Longridge Laser Range Finder for under £100. Compared to the other more costly versions my first impressions are what a bargain buy. I used it this weekend for the first time and it produced great results and benefits during my round.

It is smaller in size to the other market leaders but I found this unit very easy to handle and it comes in a small camera size pouch so fits easily into a pocket on the bag or if needbe it has a belt hoop for attaching to your person.

For anyone looking to buy a similar item I would stronly recommend this particular product for VFM.

This Laser Distance Finder golf accessory from Longridge is at the bottom end of the powered laser range finders on the market but still provides a useful aid to golfers of all levels. The item is an optical range finder so it won't see around corners like a GPS but it will give an accurate range so you can select your club.

As with all optical ranging devices it can be difficult to keep steady on a flag stick so it can sometimes be better to aim at other golfers on the green to give a better reading. The makers claim a plus or minus of around 1 yard and I have to agree to that claim as it has helped with my shots from 120 yds and in to the green. This is where the difference between a 95 yard shot and an 85 yard shot can be crucial in getting close to the pin.

Change the supplied battery ASAP and I now remove the battery if it is not going to be used for a few days. Don't expect to be able to get spot on ranges from 250-300 yards, use it close in for best effect. Amazon gave the best price by far!!!
