Im looking for one that gives me not only yardage in, but how far i hit the ball. Are there ones like this out there. or do you just point the rangefinder at the ball to find out how far you hit a drive, for example? Can it pick up a golf ball?

I played around with a top of the line leupold, and it was lightning quick.

Your thoughts?

I have a bushnell.  It can't pick up a ball unless it's really close.  When I want to measure my drives, I walk out to the ball and point the range finder back at the tee.  It picks up the tees no problem.

I have a Golf Buddy Platuim, It has a option to Mark you're location at the tee box then the distance to the ball when you get there. I like it work well for me. I picked it up on craigslist for 150.00

No range finder can shoot a ball in the fairway from the tee box.........

The only way to get a distance is if there is a target near the tee you can shoot from the ball.  IE....a ball washer or tree trunk near where you teed from.  If you know that object is +-5yds or whatever from the tee markers, then you can get a good idea of how far you hit the tee shot.

This.  Use your laser to shoot back to the tee when you get to your tee shot.  You can usually shoot the hole sign, or someone standing on the tee behind you.  When you're hitting an approach, you can always shoot the flag (or whatever you're aiming at).  You'll know whether you were long or short pretty easily.

    • Day 35, June 8. Before leaving for work this morning (yes, I'm posting this quite late relative to the practice), I spent 15 minutes practicing at home, into a net.  This time, it was primarily 9-iron (full swings), with some UW (full and half) and a few 6-iron.  
    • Day 73: just some mirror work today. Working on feels for being open and getting the front shoulder down. 
    • I'm liking this. Finally getting down hands in front of my trail leg pocket consistently at A6 with much better clubhead position (relatively not as tipped out). I can really pressure the shaft through impact with good face control  from this position and stay in balance. Won my first one v one march 5&4 against a 4 hcp who routinely drives it 35-40 yards past me in the men's club match play . Frustrated him with some solid iron play and air tight putting.   
    • Day 279 6-8  Worked on low point control skills work tonight. will be doing this for a few weeks. Tonight was just trying figure out how to get low point forward.  No ball.  
    • Day 8 (Jun 8 26) - Stayed the drill but added two additional irons (7i, 8i and 9i) - using Divot Board and hard foam balls - focused on tempo and purposed pause at the top….noticing how open the club is marking the board when I try to kill it and how much more square (and better distance) when I focus on these keys.
