Are Blue Tees The NEW Golf Tech Killer - The Ringer GPS, Player Plus Speaker and 3 MAX Range Finder

[@miken2686]

Was a purist and wanted SILENCE on the course, up until a couple of years ago. Now? I have a Blue Tees player plus speaker (non GPS variant) and use it every round. Always check with playing partners to ask if they'd prefer to play without, and I've yet to be paired with anyone who's objected. Obviously we're not blasting and turning it up to 11. I've found that music on the course is a nice distraction. Enjoyable to listen to, and keep your mind engaged while not over-obsessing about the next shot. There's a time for that, and the music is easy to tune out when you need to. Having a bad round? Shanked one into the lumber yard? Throw on your favorite tune and decompress. You may save a few otherwise thrown in the lake clubs / putter. A regular playing buddy also has one, and when together we pair them up in the cart. NEXT level sound when more than one is used. Almost worth buying a second for yourself when that regular can't make it. Loosen up over there across the pond and give it a shot!

[@RR-rm6ge]

Didn't used to listen to music, but now since 2021 I listen every time I'm on the course!

[@Brady8812]

Highly highly recommend the rangefinder. Have had mine 3 years now and I am pin high 90% of the time it seems. Knowing the exact yardage with slope is so helpful

[@owzer87]

You do know you can't use the slope in competitions yeh ?

[@Brady8812]

@@owzer87 Well yeah but I don’t play in competitions right now lol

[@Carter-nj9cs]

@@owzer87why would you ask this? He never said anything about using slope in tournaments. Such a useless comment

[@robbieergle8658]

We jam every time we play here in the good ole US. I’ve used the blue tees rangefinder and the original speaker for awhile and love them. The rangefinder is comparable to Bushnell. Speaker is good. I do want the new speaker

[@1960tiffany]

I tend to play alone so I use a speaker on every round. As I don't use a cart it's a nice way to relax between shots. When I play with partners, one of the guys also uses a speaker and the group I play with like the music. I can't understand why people don't like music on the course, as long as you're aware of others around you it adds another dimension to your playing experience.

[@MetalAsFork]

I guess it doesn't bother me too much when someone else plays their tunes in passing on the course, but even nowadays those Bluetooth speakers don't have great sound. Then there's people that play music through their phones... Yeah that's just awful. Like others have mentioned, wear headphones instead of subjecting everyone else to your music choices, that applies in golf and otherwise. If a course played music that my friends and I loved through a decent sound system, that'd be awesome for a change of vibe, but still I would always defer to people that want the standard peaceful outdoor experience.

[@madmouse9189]

100% music on course. Got a small (!) Bluetooth speaker on my bag. Odd here in Germany… but me and my mates enjoy it.

[@starks1974]

Listening is great as it takes your mind off the game…especially after a bad hole. So I think it’s therapeutic and makes it even more enjoyable.

[@EdwardWittArt]

This made me want to live in England, which is something I never thought I'd say.

Fascinating… I really appreciate you reviewing products like these to give a spotlight to companies like this Mark! Much like seeing you on that Srixon commercial for the Cleveland wedges… 😊. There are actually a few appealing SKU’s here. I think I’ll definitely put eyes on their website if anything!

Interested in the hand held as getting a bit tired of the bulky watch on my wrist. Assume putting it your pocket doesn’t interfere with the gps signal ?

[@oreoten8283]

Does the ringer need a subscription or is the sub just for the speaker/GPS?

[@robertcohan4435]

Does the ringer pair to the app for the hole view like the speakers do?

[@MarkCrossfield]

Nope

[@bobmacek7826]

The Tech is great but music on the course is just rude.

[@ThinkingMan482]

I almost never hear anyone listening to music while playing golf here in America. When I do, I hate it. I don't go out to play golf in order to have your poor taste in music inflicted on me!

[@thomasclark631]

Listening to music during a round of golf ………. right up there with using a cell phone.

[@Aztechnology.]

Me and my buddies always have some classic rock going, or something that’s less likely to offend. The reality is unless you’re waiting right behind someone at the tee box which isn’t good etiquette anyway, you won’t hear my music as it’s loud enough for me and my friends but not for everyone else. The point of golf is to get out and have fun, the music helps. As for the product my main concern is the subscription cost on something like this. If you aren’t paying the $50 subscription which likely won’t stay that price. Does your hardware effectively become useless without it? I’m thinking of Arcos where it became really too pricey for your average golfer to continue to enjoy it unless you were grandfathered in to use sensors without a subscription.

[@mrchrisgau]

From watching you using these devices, they did seem to react with noticeable delay to your gestures like sliding horizontally or vertically. I‘d rather use buttons (like the Garmin G10) than an annoying implementation of touchscreen commands.

[@coreygardner8424]

I love all the old guys in full whinge mode due to the speaker. i play music when im walking, and it's quiet enough u wouldn't know i was unless u put ur hands on my clubs.

[@WizDawg]

Exactly, you would never hear it unless they are in your group.

[@nickmillar9651]

I don’t carry a device. But guys in my group do. It doesn’t really bother me I don’t pay attention. But if anyone doesn’t like it I guess you don’t have play with them

[@andyholt7038]

I enjoy music on the course but it’s a volume only we in the cart can hear it at…no one on other holes or whatever can hear it. But I’ll gladly turn it down or off if asked. I don’t ever want to ruin somebody else’s good time.

[@Rodisflawless]

Anyone knows why course vlogs are no longer on this channel? Even the description only mentions lessons and product reviews. As a very early subscriber, they were the only reason I was watching so this is disappointing.

[@CaptainMik]

Totally agree mate. Used to watch all the vlogs with Coach and Ray. Definitely miss it.

[@bogushavis]

I played a 4 man scramble with a guy that had a speaker playing loud. The front nine it was all rap. And we just could not get a rhythm going. At the turn he switched to classic rock music and we burned down that back nine. Then he said, "Why couldn't we score on the front?" Hmmm, such a mystery.

I really question buying a product from blue teas again.Because the first product I bought from broke down in less than a year. It was absolute garbage

[@russellowens3527]

My foursome always listens to music. No issues with anyone else around either. We come up on a group we turn it down. It kinda keeps us loose. Also is fun.

[@Tony_Bologna684]

Same here with my foursome, we love listening to music. But every time we get close to someone on the tee box or green, we pause it until they're gone

Love your channel & wondering your choice for a rangefinder with slope….was thinking of Bushnell V5 w/slope,but like to know your opinion-Thanks & keep those helpful videos coming.BTW, I’m not a fan of music on the course & in central NY-not NYC.I prefer a nice peaceful round without music blaring on course.

[@nickmillar9651]

Kinda like unpacking a Pxg product.

[@Kur0y4m4]

$200USD for the Ringer GPS, but the Bushnell Phantom2 is $130USD and does the same thing (while being half the size of the Ringer).

[@MarkCrossfield]

Wow ok. Where I think I the Phantom 2 is a great device. These are not comparable at all. If you want from middle back big screen cheap not much else then defo its the Phantom

[@davidmchutchison3041]

I don’t listen to music on the golf course - I’m playing and thinking golf ffs! - and I’m sure most of us definitely do not want to listen to anyone else’s music on the golf course😡 It wouldn’t surprise (or upset) me if many clubs here in the UK introduced rules to ban it. Earbuds sound like a solution but hey, might that stop you hearing shouts of “Fore!”? So, maybe even those aren’t such a good idea. Otherwise these Blue Tees products do look very well thought out. Would be nice if those sold in the UK had ‘“centre” spelt the way we spell it 😉

[@JohnKay79]

I didn't used to listen to music, but then everyone started around here, and it got distracting, so I got my own so I can at least choose what I'm listening too... but now I use open ear ear buds... so I can still hear EVERYTHING, because I keep the volume low. End rant

[@dgreen8388]

I love seeing all the fuddy duddies in the comments complaining about music on the golf course 🤣

[@soupytwist8737]

Shame you omitted to mention the annual subscriptions that come into effect after the first year. Presumably you will need a subscription to continue with the score/shot/club tracking, which will make the overall cost of Blue Tees significantly more expensive.

[@penpilot1]

I bring my speaker for Sunday afternoon rounds and a beer or 2.

[@WisconsinJimmyN]

According to the Blue Tees Website there is no mention of bluetooth on the speaker. This would be a deal-breaker for many people.

[@MarkCrossfield]

Not sure what you mean. The music in this video is being played via my phone? It’s connected via Bluetooth

[@WisconsinJimmyN]

@@MarkCrossfield Then this confirms that it has bluetooth. That changes everything. I will order one tomorrow. Thanks Mark for the info.

[@mikewilliams1479]

I do listen to music on course when playing from time to time but I will always use headphones due to many older golfers I get paired with hate the non traditional ways of golf.

[@soupra22]

I have the new speaker and its okay. Honestly it is not as good as the bushnell speaker. The magnet is not as powerful and the sound is not up to par compared to the bushnell. It fell off on a bump and ive never had that happen with my bushnell. The speaker only comes out of onside vs all arpund on the bushnell. Gps app was not very impressive and lacking features other apps have. Ill probably sell mine and opt for the newer bushnell.
