I am just curious to see how many of you are using range finders on the course. I mean legal ones no slope.

With the changing of technology and new gear that is available for legal tournament use I can't see how anyone is going with out one of these now a days. The advantage of being able to pin point yardages you need to know is key. I have started using one full time since the end of last year and I have noticed a huge improvement in Constancy with FIR and GIR. Especially when it comes to competitive playing being able to know exact yardages is key to confidence. I have been using the Bushnell Tour V2 and I can say it is easy the best club in my bag.

Opinions and User feedback??

I use one. Not on every hole, and not even every round, but here and there to make sure my distances are what I think they are.

I recently got one.  I've been out of the game for about a decade due to military commitments, so I'm basically starting starting over.  I haven't really used it during play, but I use it extensively at the range as I'm trying to pin down exactly what my yardages are these days.  At the range I frequent the teeing areas aren't in a line but rather more of a curve, whereas the yardage markers extend straight out from the center of that curve.  If I'm on one of the ends, I'm hitting diagonally to the yardage markers, so they're basically meaningless.

I use one and it is the best investment I have ever made. There is nothing like knowing that you have 118 to carry the bunker and 130 to the pin to allow you to have confidence to hit that shot under the pin knowing exactly how much room you have.

I am going on the second full with mine and couldn't be happier.  Simply point and shoot and I know exactually which club I need for the shot.  IMO, the exact yardage gives me more confidence.

Driver: TM R11s 10.5 R-flex 3W: TM 09 Burner 3H: TM 09 Burner Irons: TM Tour Burner 4-PW r-flex

      Eh. Do your hips back when they swivel like he demonstrates? Or do they tend to go forward as they rotate?

      A Decibel Meter as a Free Speed Meter?

      Uh, that's not what happened. I'm highly dubious about how your results would work going forward, you showed nothing about your setup, etc. I trust the physics (your 3 dB over a meter is off substantially) and sound engineers over claimed "good" results.

      I actually really like the video. I feel like it speaks to my own issues of hip movement (lunge towards the ball). I think he also presents a very good and detailed explanation of the why from biomechanical perspective, not forcing the clubs in position and instead let it work a proper planar path by providing it space (hip swivel) the most efficient way. As far as tech speak/catch phrases etc., that some may not like, it doesn't bother me and even necessary. For eg., the spiral line sounds like it is the same thing as a kinematic chain, but directionally specific along with the set of muscles joints it engages. If the club is not dynamically aligned to the 'spiral line' it will force other compensation like locking joints, etc. That's simple logic, and from my perspective not brought up enough. Good stuff.

      A Decibel Meter as a Free Speed Meter?

      By p1n9183 ·

      Thanks! it was a fun experiment and I hope is going to be useful for people that like to go down the rabbit hole like i do but can't afford a launch monitor or even a cheap speed meter. Of course I'm glad the results were positive, even better than I spected, but it is funny to see that only you took the time to post after the results were given, the only one in the thread that was open minded about the idea. The other posters that daily brought down the idea without proper arguments or proof, disappeared after been confronted with actual data. Maybe they are testing this by themselves and are in shock that they are getting the same results as me!

      It would certainly be a good thing if more people would at least give walking the course a chance, but "great crime" is awfully melodramatic.  On the Faxon end, I think he's probably just speculating that these guys might be new to golf. That position when teeing up the ball normally suggests that. It shouldn't be too much of a surprise that newbies would be riders.
