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.

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.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      I'm not sure you're calculating the number of strokes you would need to give correctly. The way I figure it, a 6.9 index golfer playing from tees that are rated 70.8/126 would have a course handicap of 6. A 20-index golfer playing from tees that are rated 64/106 would have a course handicap of 11. Therefore, based on the example above, assuming this is the same golf course and these index & slope numbers are based on the different tees, you should only have to give 5 strokes (or one stroke on the five most difficult holes if match play) not 6. Regardless, I get your point...the average golfer has no understanding of how the system works and trying to explain it to people, who haven't bothered to read the documentation provided by either the USGA or the R&A, is hopeless. In any case, I think the WHS as it currently is, does the best job possible of leveling the playing field and I think most golfers (obviously, based on the back & forth on this thread, not all golfers) at least comprehend that.

      Yes it's true in a large sample like a tournament a bunch of 20 handicaps shouldn't get 13 strokes more than you. One of them will have a day and win. But two on one, the 7 handicap is going to cover those 13 strokes the vast majority of the time. 20 handicaps are shit players. With super high variance and a very asymmetrical distribution of scores. Yes they shoot 85 every once in a while. But they shoot 110 way more often. A 7 handicap's equivalent is shooting 74 every once in a while but... 86 way more often?
