EXPENSIVE £250 RANGEFINDER VS CHEAP RANGEFINDER!? (Surprising Results)

[@SASGolf]

Thanks For Watching Guys! Don't forget to leave this video a like if you don't want to get stuck behind a 4 ball this year!

[@patrickscribner]

hahaha... between this and the Hole in One I'm going to get, it's going to be quite a year!

[@golfinginparadise]

We have 5 & 6 ball groups in Thailand! Imagine that!

[@JayCHales]

@@golfinginparadise Every once in a while here in Wisconsin USA you get stuck behind several 5 and 6 ball groups. Most of the time it turns out to be a bachelor party so there is more drinking then golfing.

[@golfinginparadise]

@@JayCHales Haha good to know I'm not the only one going through this pain! Its unfortunately very common on the weekends in Thailand so I have to be strategic about when to film course vlogs on the weekends.

[@paulhoughton5431]

I bought a cheap one 2 years ago. It was hopeless, it would only lock in on trees or a bunker. Then it broke. I returned and bought the Busnell V4 job done fantastic machine. You get what pay for with measuring equipment. I'm a surveyor by the way. Great video Simon.

[@anjamkhan9453]

This is a great video. I am in the market to get a rangefinder and this helps a lot. I liked your analogy on Rolex vs G shock. You really do get what you pay for but for most of us who aren’t scratch golfers, getting something close enough may be a good guide. Thank you friend for your video. Great info!

[@superduperawesome6858]

I refuse to spend good money on something that just tells me how far I CAN'T hit the ball ! 👍😁

[@SASGolf]

SuperDuper Awesome hah 😅

[@touristguy87]

then why don't you just stop spending good money playing golf, dude

[@puttputt524]

SuperDuper Awesome they should make “game improvement” edition that just adds 15 yards to everything.

[@touristguy87]

@@puttputt524 or you could just go out and actually play golf for real. (slaps forehead)...what am I saying!

[@mahersamman7692]

Thanks i have the same chep one it shuts off automatically after 8second when not used. its avery good product for the mony

[@gotdrift8]

I have a rangefinder from hunting/shooting I bring golfing. Works quite well

[@topperdufferson]

I'd love it to be legal to hunt the hunters. Would gladly shoot the shit out of you all.

[@tommytaylor__poker5291]

Brilliant review. I just bought the Milessey myself, I'm a mid 20's handicapper with no aspirations to play competition golf myself so its perfect for me. I'd only play tourneys if i was serious and creeping to a sub 18 hcp in which case I would probably upgrade.

[@JohandariAber]

U just got the cheap one before watching this review....now I feel much better

[@keithjones9595]

My wife bought me an ‘Easygreen 1300’ for £105 off of groupon for my birthday present when kept going on at her that I wanted a £400 model! I can honestly say compared to my friends expensive models there is NO difference in measured distance up to 200 yards, maybe a yard either way which isn’t gonna make a world of difference anyway Great bit of kit and feel like it’s taken 3/4 shots a round off my game Great vid mate 👍🏻

[@zoemiller7445]

Great video. I think the Mileseey one is a good choice for a beginner training. cheap but same accuracy!

[@thehuntsman3615]

Great bid. I bought a £80 one. You can turn slope off. Also vibrates when locked on. Not as quick as bushnell but I'm new and a bit shakey. Works well plus I don't mind so much if I damage a 80 quid device. Use it in conjunction with GPS watch and zapping hazards. Quite impressed with it.

[@asdfkhieee]

Had a Callaway 200, and a Nikon cool shot 20. Got a Gogogo Sport Laser for christmas from my mother-in-law who didn't know I already had 2 others. The Gogogo was only $70, the other 2 cost $200. The Gogogo matched the other 2 by 1 yard, and my buddies Bushnell by 1 yard. Glass was just as clear, and now I get slope readings too. I sold the 2 expensive ones, kept the Gogogo, and spent the extra cash on a new wedge.

[@gary2mcdonald]

My distance and reading eyesight are both poor but I can not were glasses on course as my iron shots are all fat due to ground looking closer. From 120 yards I can not tell if a pin is front, center or back of green but with magnification in Tour v4 I can read distance no bother. It is only after getting tour V4 I new my distances with each club especially from 130 yards in for wedges. Good to know I can tell my daughter she bought me a Rolex for fathers daythree years ago.

[@sirtogii5216]

Splashed out on the top of the range Garmin that has the gps built in as well and have to say it's brilliant. To be able to see where on the green the pin is located from 150-200y out instead of just getting a distance number gives you the info on how to best play the shot to avoid sucker pins etc. Of course it still needs you to actually hit it, but for me it paints a clearer picture in my head. Also helps you when you cannot actually see the pin by giving you direction marker, excellent feature for us wayward hitters...

[@emikrellik37]

I actually have never used a range finder on the course. Not that I don't need it but on my home courses I have a real good idea how far I am no matter my first shot. Great video Simon. Peace Love Respect

[@michaelforrester816]

Great vid Simon. Once again proving the amateur golfer doesnt need to be spending fortunes. Unless you are low single or plus golfer 2 yards doesnt matter.

[@SASGolf]

Thank you mate! definitely wouldn't make a difference to my game haha

[@William45ish]

Great video bud. I don’t use the hand held devices as I really don’t like them and was always a bit sceptical as to their worth. Last year my significant other and my children bought me a SkyCaddie SX500 for my birthday. I absolutely love it!! I just attach it to my trolley, turn it on, it uses it’s GPS to find the course and away I go. I know that it’s expensive and I wouldn’t have it if I had to buy it myself, but it is the bees knees!! Lol.

[@injuredtabletennisplayer1474]

I’ve one of the first Bushnell’s made. Actually works more like the cheaper one you’re reviewing. Great review. Going to tech up to your Bushnell (which I purchased a few years ago as a gift for my brother’s 50th birthday) soon. Btw. I’m here in the states and your elocution is so cool!

[@donnachalyons3904]

Simon hope Mum and smallie are all good. I prefer my Golf Buddy GPS since 08, I've been Cat 1 player for years, the + or - 2 yards never cost me not tour standard😁😁. I love that I have yardage to Front Middle and Back, have yardage if I haven't a clear view of pin and its quicker just a glance at the screen. I've tried Laser but find it difficult to lock the target I've a shake in my hands (Surgeries) As for charging I do it at the same time as my buggy so it's never gone off on me mid round.

[@tonylewis8370]

Never been able to use a rangefinder and so never thought of paying the prices they are. However this is almost at a price that can learn with it without breaking the bank. Thanks for the video

[@SASGolf]

Tony Lewis took me ages to get used to keeping a steady hand with mine. But find it easy now. Thanks tony. 👍

[@missingcomments1212]

If you really want to improve your accuracy hitting into flags (when it really counts) then having an accurate yardage to the pin is essential. Hence rangefinder for me. I bought a secondhand bushnell for £120 😉 keep up the great vids Simon thanks

[@theoriginaltylerdurden]

Thanks for the great video. I have a Bushnell but can see where the cheap one is a good option for the average player as a time saver.

[@jonparr1148]

I got a 60 quid laser off Amazon in the Black Friday sale last year. Never had one before always used a GPS watch. Love the laser, check distance to hazards, marker posts anything. Much more useful than the GPS. BUT I still wear the GPS as its a great ‘guide’ device, if your on the fairway and can see all of the green the GPS is good enough for me as a 14 Hcp. If I’m inside 150 then I’ll laser as I know my SW to 8 distances are +/- 5 and where the flag is exactly will make a big difference between clubs. Go cheap, 4 for the price of 1 !

[@klirb1596]

If I were to buy one, I'd probably not spend more than £100.. nice to know the 'cheaper' options are accurate. Good vid. I just use an app (GPS) on my mobile, works great an I can track my scores and other info.... 🏌🏻‍♂️⛳👍🏻

[@adyc7357]

Great 👍 been looking around at rangefinders and always wondered if I would be chucking money away on a cheap one. Wouldn’t use it enough to warrant £300

[@simonhuss9619]

Tbf for 70quid that's spot on, my garmin gps, gives front-middle- back, so to be able to point at pin and get 3-4 yard ball park is very good for that price, also that would come in handy at range to check pins ur aiming at, cant do that with a GPS

[@anndyh]

Great video. I'm new to golf so something like this would be perfect for me to check my yardage. I currently play off about 18 and a half million so I wouldn't want to spend much more that £80 on something to tell me how far away the water hazard is! Thanks mate 😊👊🏻

[@johnmac4769]

When playing with my friends that have rangefinders I will always guess the yardages before they take their readings. I am within 5-10 yards of their readings. Like you said, most golfers do not have the accuracy to hit closer than 5-10 yards. I can't make myself spend the money to buy a rangefinder. Would rather buy better golf balls. Most of the guys I play with play with lower end balls and complain about not holding greens, etc. Thanks for you vids, really enjoy

[@pc1491]

I have GPS and a cheap one, like the blue one. Can turn slope off on mine though. One advantage of range finder is if you are unsure of pin position on a green, you dont have to guess.

[@atscottcarnoustie2946]

Good vid Simon. Always wonderes about these as see a lot on amazon and ebay claiming to do what a Bushie does but at a fraction of the price. Good to know about not finding a way to turn the slope function off. That alone would stop me from buying one 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@rangefinderreviews871]

To make your golf experiences more exciting; Are you looking for the best rangefinder for this coming golf season? Let’s figure out some facts and face it: best rangefinder for a high handicapper? Or…best rangefinder for beginners? Or….best rangefinder reviews? Website Link: wisegolfers.com/rangefinder-reviews/

[@GlennDawsonuk]

I have a callaway range finder that was about 150 a few years back my mate has a top of the range bushnell stood side by side the numbers are very similar within a yard or 2 certainly near enough for an amateur and of course there's no guarantee that it's the callaway one that's out perhaps it's the bushnell

[@dougierobertson2099]

Golf sidekick uses Decathlon’s Inesis V900 £129. It’s got a vibration lock on and the slope can be turned off. Has anyone else tried it?

[@mrpostie100]

I currently have a bushnell v2 and have lost the battery cap and cannot find a replacement ANYWHERE.So will give the mileseey a look.

[@stuart7523]

That's a great shout adding that to the dream bag, fair play Simon. Good video too.

[@davidmaxfieldgolf]

Every time you shot it they varied within 1-3 yards on both devices anyway so between the 2 value for money the cheap one is better. However the slope point was good.

[@dereknicholson260]

Slider plate onside switches it off. Bushnel gave different yardage ,millesey came up with same every time lol.

[@larsmenken2679]

I got a Boblov which I bought at the end of last year. I use the phone/gps app for most, but sometimes I can’t see if a pin is front/back/middle and just lasering it in seconds give confidence. It is accurate enough, at least compared to my swing.

[@admholmesy]

Got the boblov myself. Has the vibration on it as well. Tried it against my friends busnell and there is literally no difference. That cheaper one seemed to take an age to get the yardage!!!

[@CarlosPerez-hs6cm]

Good review. I always wonder if the lower cost ones will do what I need them to do verses the expensive ones. Currently use a GPS app for my yardage which does well enough but this has peeked my interest

[@tchadwic82]

For anyone struggling with keeping range finders still. Tuck you grip into your belt and place the device on the shaft with it at a 45 degree angle will make it easier to keep still. Old shooting trick.

[@NaughtyGoatFarm]

Trying to find a reference to what model the cheap range finder is.

[@puttputt524]

I’ve always wanted a range finder and I’m shopping for one now at a price I can justify. I’m reading the online manual for the Mileseey and it says to short press the “M” button to switch from golf slope to pin lock mode. So if following the rules of golf was the dealbreaker, +1 to Mileseey!

[@matthewlong6389]

You can generally find a Tasco for under $100. Bushnell is the parent company of Tasco.

[@marcusc8760]

Its basically saying do you want the exact same product, but prefer the vanity of a known brand name on the side.. Because other than a couple of seconds delay in range lock, it does exactly what it supposed to. It isnt like you are waiting on Bryson to analyse a putt. If you have more money then sense then get the bushnell. Otherwise save 200 quid and use it on more golf stuff

[@MilesMartinGolf]

Is the bushnell accounting for slope and the cheap one not? That could result in different distances. I have a cheap lazer myself and it works fine for me by the way. Im not consistant on my distance so being a few yards off doesnt realy hurt me, it just helps plan a hole out when you know how far it is to the bunker, or to carry water, to the middle of the green, or whatever.

[@MilesMartinGolf]

Ahhh, well question answered later in the video. Lol.

[@clevited]

Great video. Very useful information, always wondered if the cheap ones were any good.

[@patrickmonell6536]

I got a cheap device on amazon after reading reviews. I bought it for 79 us dollars and it has flag lock on and has hill/slope adjustments for more accuracy. It's almost as accurate as my buddies bushnell within a yard of each other!

[@patrickmonell6536]

And you can turn the hill/slope mode off! It's called kotso g1s

[@르꼬끄-g4c]

Great! next time...Could you make a video comparing the slope modes between them?

[@rpf691]

I have two gps units ,a watch type and hand held. both take a few moments to find the satellites . sometimes the course is not in the memory.the watch type is agonizing slow to find the sat.

[@SevenDeMagnus]

Mileseey's laser is accurate then? I need a new tape measure with laser (mine got lost) and Milesseey has a tape measure as well. Thank you.

[@marcjustintee6654]

Great video, are you able to turn off the slope function?

[@zohaibhassan005]

I bought the blue one from Ali Baba for $50 - been using it for 6 months - works fine

[@jimmack6744]

Great informative video! Thanks Simon!

[@gavinsawford5141]

Just ordered the cheap one 👍

[@M82RKY]

The version that has rechargeable battery for £125………….pretty decent! I do love my V3 Shotscope watch but there are a few instances where more flag position accuracy would be better…….for this price though, even the v3 at £170, have both!

[@dessy163]

For value surely you can’t go wrong, but some will go for the expensive one just for showman ship.

[@dereknicholson260]

Millesey 260 model rechargable vibration and audible flag lock hight measurement and speed 🏆

[@oodamnagain]

So what is the model of both of them?

[@klsar1]

Got the cheap one recently at an even lower price USD 44. Not bad at all.

[@LFGM24]

The milleseey isn’t illegal. The switch is where the battery goes in .

[@kennymacm3031]

I was in a comp yesterday and a guy in my group actually Lasered the flag at sixty yards. Sixty yards; it was right in front of him!! And he still thinned it through the green. Trust your instincts and the lay of the land from under 100 yards people....

[@The1blackpool]

Yardage markers on the fairways enough for me.

[@theniceneighbor]

That was me last year. I've improved a bit and now using a range finder is the difference in a one putt and a two putt. That will help because we all miss some putts that we should make.

[@kingoftheheath3755]

I'd have to be somewhere near the fairway to use them 🤣

[@Stavtok]

Plenty of cheap ones that you can turn slope off and have "Jolt" for less than $150AUD reckon I'll be going for one of those.

[@blackceeser]

I have the cheaper Range finder, which has the vibration and slope on-off settings. you might have an old model or something. I paid $40 for mine.

[@justinkilgren9138]

Laser Rangefinders>GPS imo Nice video! Also as long as you don’t lose it they last forever.

[@SASGolf]

Justin Kilgren this is very true! Lost my first one however, hence I got this one 😅

[@Brummiebutler]

was the slope feature on, on both

[@maxd1384]

I have one that is $114 usd that does everything the Bushnell does. And it feels better quality than my buddies $400 Nikon. Bozily golf VPRO x2.

[@jonathansomic]

Where the more expensive rangefinders come into their own are in high glare and sunlight. My cheap Rangefinder completely capitulates when trying to ping a flag in direct sunlight.

[@RiddleTime]

So many yards in this video, hope the lawn is in good condition

[@adriancox-thesantjordigolf3646]

What are you reading? Good comparison.

[@robertbommmarito3052]

I can almost guarantee the case is made in the same factory that’s why they look so similar

[@MrTonyCSong]

Not a great comparison using Rolex and G Shock, since G Shock would actually be much more accurate plus has more functionality.

[@nzbeeker1]

The case is not a copy. Bushnell get them from the same factory and have them branded Bushnell from the factory.
