Has anyone ever used the Bushnell Tour V2 (standard or slope edition) or another one of their rangefinders? Are they really good or are there better ones out there? I'm not really interested in the GPS rangefinders but I have been eying up a laser rangefinder for quite some time now. Any suggestions? Thanks.

 Rac Wedges (54 and 60 degrees)

I agree. Something about the GPS ones I just don't trust. I love that I am in control with pointing the Bushnell at the target and having it come up. As far as alternatives, take a look at the Laser Link Red Hot rangefinder. I have heard nothing but good things about it. Its the point and shoot one like a gun, you just line up the laser with the site and put it on your target

Yes I have and use the Tour V2.  Choose it over it's bigger brothers because it is smaller and lighter.  I love it.  Nothing bad to say about it.  Just get one, can't imagine you will be sorry !

I have a Tour V2 without the slope. Its great. I use it to measure anything from hazards from the tee (bunkers, water). You can use it to find distance to hazards and distance to carry hazards. Its great for distance to the pin and picks the flag up easily in pinseeker mode. I play with friends who use GPSs and find they can be out and they are a pain for any hazard distances. It also makes me slow down and think about my shot more. Take more concern in club selection. Given the choice between a GPS or Rangefinder I take the rangefinder every time.

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

      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?

      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.
