The guy at the golf shop showed me a rangefinder I've never seen before, a Laser Link.  This was the newest model, the Red Hot.  It looked pretty weird, kinda like a State Highway Patrol's handheld laser.  But when he showed me how to use it, I was impressed with the consistency of readings and how easy it seemed to acquire those readings.  The price is just as high as the Bushnell Pinseeker 1600, which I've already been looking at.

Does anyone have experience using the Laser Link device?  If it's easier to use and better accuracy than the Bushnell, I might get it instead.

They use the Laser Link at a course I've played a number of times, Pelican Hill in Newport Beach.   I've also got a Bushnell, and I find them both to be about equal in ease of use.    I kind of like the Bushnell as you're looking at the image magnified with the yardage superimposed right there, as opposed to having it in a separate display like the Laser Link.   But both are really easy to use and accurate.

    • It’s possible the graphite shaft has a small internal crack or a delamination. Tapping it and hearing a vibrating sound is usually a sign the shaft isn’t behaving as it should. Since the store wasn’t helpful, consider taking it to a club fitter or a pro shop that can check the shaft flex and integrity. If it’s defective, you might be able to get a replacement from the manufacturer.
    • It’s interesting how much a 3D system changes your understanding. Observing top players in full detail and realizing the trail knee shouldn’t fully extend is a great example of why being open to new info is so important. I like your approach: not trying to be “right,” but trying to teach correctly based on actual evidence. Makes sense why golfers would benefit from this perspective.
    • I would say both are equally not the best for golf. Is it better than nothing, sure.  Golf is an athletic motion. Professional golfers are doing a comprehensive workout routine focusing on strength, power, flexibility, stability. They might include some yoga into the routine. I would put both of them in the recovery bin, not golf enhancement bin.  If you want to increase swing speed, core strength, longevity in golf and life, then lift heavy weights.
