How well do these work from say 200 yards? The reason I ask is because my cousin has been using one that his brother bought for hunting and once you get over 150 yards or so, it becomes almost impossible to get a reading.

They are accurate to within a yard up to around 300 yards. The golf ones seek out the pin for you. Visit the nikon website where there is a great video demonstration.

That said I haven't used either myself as yet.

Okay, that makes more sense than the one he was using. Thanks, I'll check out the website. I currently have a Skycaddie but my subscription is up for renewal and I was thinking about going to a laser now.

i almost bought a hunting one, but after a tonne of reading, the pinseeker tool was key
need a steady hand and without pin seeker i think it would be tough over 150 yds out

i have no problem reading a 230yd pin
anything over that and im not "pinseeking", i just wanna hit the damn green~~!! hahah!

Go test them in the Store? See which you like better.

I just switched from the Bushnell Yardage Pro to the Nikon Callaway LR550. Both are 6X however the Nikon finds the target sooo much faster and the readout is much easier to see.

I have used the V2 for a few rounds and just love it. From the tee I can hit bunkers, trees, landing areas, flags, etc. The pinseeker mode makes it easier. I have used it on the range for wedge shots and was able to get really good readings and from the fairway I can measure my drives by aiming at the ball washer or nearby tree.

      Cobra 3D Printed Irons

      By mchepp ·

      I searched around but didn’t see any other threads on this so I’ll put it here. I work in the laser industry and one of the applications has been additive manufacturing. The main market for the past 10 years has been SpaceX and the space industry and some medical applications. The new one I saw this week is 3D printing irons. Cobra and the company that they are using is marketing these irons pretty aggressively.  In talking with the folks in the booth at the trade show, the claim is that they can gain strength but reduce the weight to put it exactly where they want. The print of the iron is very cool. Mostly everything behind the face is a thin metal lattice and then in the heal and toe is a block of tungsten for weight.  I am old enough to remember the arguments about forged versus cast irons. I wonder if folks here will pay a bit more to get 3D printed irons.  They have a booth here where you can hit them but I hate lines and the line to do it is always long. I go again tomorrow, and if the line isn’t too long I’ll give it a try and report back.    Here are some pictures (I had some trouble uploading, I’ll try later)

      Day 54 (25 Jun 24) - played in the church men’s group 9-hole Superball scramble.  Our group finished 3 under could have easily been 6 under (had several birdie putts that lipped out).  Fun round with the crew.
