    News flash: Golf is hard. However, a growing number of companies are combining different technologies to make things a little easier.Get more news about Golf Rangefinder,you can vist our website!

    Look around at just about any course or practice facility and you will see players using laser rangefinders to determine how far they are from the hole. That’s not new, but now there are lasers that link to your smartphone. Launch monitors are no longer affordable only to the pros you see on TV, either. These days, GPS devices now look as good as any smartwatch or timepiece.
    It won’t be available until later this spring, but for golfers who wear glasses on the course or who have trouble holding a traditional laser steady, this unit might be worth the wait. Opening a 3-inch panel on the side of the Altaz reveals a 360×640-resolution LCD display that shows the target and the distance. A video-stabilization system steadies the image, and the rechargeable battery purportedly is capable of handling a 36-hole day with ease.

    After clipping the Phantom 2 to a belt, attaching it to a cart using the built-in magnet or hanging it on a golf bag with the supplied carabiner, this 2.7-ounce unit uses GPS to determine which of 40,000 preloaded courses you are playing and which hole you are on. It can display distances to the front, middle and back of the green, as well as distances to as many as six hazards per hole. The numbers and text are 40 percent larger than the first Phantom, and it can display a view of the green that rotates based on where you are standing. The 18-hour battery life means the Phantom 2 will handle 36-hole days better than you can.

    Pros such as Bryson DeChambeau and Bubba Watson use FlightScope X3 launch monitors that cost well beyond most golfers’ means. For players not looking to spend that much, another model, the Mevo+, is far from cheap but delivers plenty of Tour-level features. Carry distance, clubhead speed, spin rate, ball speed, launch angle and more can all be displayed on your smartphone or tablet. When you’re away from the range, the Mevo+ can be used indoors as a simulator, allowing you to play virtual courses and skill-enhancing games.

    Shaped to fit comfortably in your hand, the 6.8-ounce, waterproof GX-2c has a high-resolution LCD display, fog mode and 6X magnification to make it easier to spot flags as far as 350 yards away. Objects such as trees can be measured at distances up to 650 yards. The True Golf Range feature accounts for elevation changes to provide “plays like” distances and club recommendations, but it can be disabled during tournaments to conform with U.S. Golf Association and R&A event rules.
