hey guys, im going to be buying a leupold gx-I rangefinder pretty soon. It claims to have pinseeking technology on it, however it never explains what the pinseeker is. Im wondering if someone who owns a gx-I (not any other models please) would tell me what the pinseeking technology is, and how it works. It would also be nice if you could give me your 2 cents on the product and if its a good buy. thanks!

just out of curiousity, why dont you just get a gps, they are easier to use and you dont need line of sight? is it an acurracy thing?

Do we really need to have this discussion...again? There are many GPS vs. Rangefinder topics on here.

As for the GX-1. I have heard it is a fine product but have only looked at the hunting model at the store so I can't really comment. There is a very fine review on the main site about it. I would check that out.

I will judge my rounds much more by the quality of my best shots than the acceptability of my worse ones.

What that technology does is read everything that the laser reflects from then displays the distance to the nearest object it sees. That way it picks the flag out of the background clutter, but if there are players on or near the green in front of the flag, it can give you that reading instead of the flag, so you have to use it with some judgment. I find it very easy to pick a flag from as far as 350 yards with my Bushnell (maybe more but why would I bother???

), but I've never used a Leupold, so I haven't any way to compare the two.

I have tried it and it is very easy to use. for a gps to be worth the price it would have to be less than $300 and show the shape of the green and most gps units have yearly fees and they dont work on every course

yeah its an accuracy thing, since i got my distances dialed in. also lots of courses are not plotted by gps so thats also a waste.

      Day 53. Played 9. Couldn’t find the bottom of the swing arc. It was bad.

      Awesome, thank you very much. I ended up giving them a call and you are right. Got to try out some different clubs, the first suggestion was the Wilson Staff Launch Pad irons I believe, the hybrid irons. Personally I wasn't liking them all too much, however they were much better than the old '74 MacGregor blades I've been playing. Then I tried a couple others, I forget what the one was but the one I ended up liking the best was the Cobra Aerojet irons. Overall feel and performance was the best for me on these, I also preferred the appearance and sound of these. Bit the bullet.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Live Updates from the range! Open the club face at address, and trust that you’re gonna be able to get the face in a good position at impact. I don’t have to feel like I have to keep the face open throughout the entire downswing. The swing feels much more free-flowing through impact. Difference in ball flight is that previously it would be a low to mid trajectory that starts straight and draw left, or slight pulls. New ball flight are high push draws.  It’s kind of stupid. I feel like it should slice off the planet. I look up and it’s maybe a slight push. 🤣 Some distant wedge feels. More weight on front foot. Keep weight on front foot.  Pivot around left knee. Solid contact all the time.
