Review on ⛳️ Caddytek Golf Laser Rangefinder – Enhanced Accuracy with Slope and Pin-Validation Function, Silver (LRF-V2-JOLTSLOPE) by Randy Washington

Only the product can be rated with 3.5 to 4 stars. But I have to say I was looking for value for money, I'll give it a 6+ so 5/5 overall. I'm replacing a Bushnell that I've had for at least 5 years but the buttons stop working on colder days and I already know that Bushnell's service department is 1) going to be slow and 2) won't fix something for less than $150 - so if I can buy a new device in this range and get it in 2 days or less, that's the way to go. So true? Over the course of two rounds this past weekend, I tested several times with my playmates using Bushnell and Leopold units and in all tests the difference was +/- 1 yard or less. As for the slope, my playmates don't have it, neither does my previous device, so the deviations it gives seem logical to me, but I don't know - I really pay attention to a large number of tops 95% of the time, and then add or change a stick as needed for up/down/wind/conditions. One of the reasons no one I play with has tilt is because we all compete in some competitions where tilt lasers are banned. That was the only thing that pleased me about this unit - switchable nameplates - making the tilt unit fully a control unit. Instead of a switch or mode that I once encountered on an old Bushnell 1500/Slope at an amateur competition because it was just a mode change to non-slope, this unit completely transforms and gives no indication that it's a slope -model acts. You change the record. It's really nice apart from a few things, the platter is pretty flimsy plastic with just a couple of protrusions on one side that enable tilt/non-tilt. When it's installed it feels solid, but when it's removed you put a small pouch in the carry case instead of a sleeve and it looks like it could still be crushed or lost. But overall I give it 5 stars for innovation and functionality and 3 stars for possible durability issues with the nameplate removed. A NOTICE. If the type plate is missing completely, the device goes back to the tilt function. The last plus I want to highlight is the use of a CR2 battery. I see more and more devices charging via USB. Buy or don't buy this product, but DO NOT buy a USB rechargeable laser and thank me later. Lithium CR2 batteries (or larger 123s) last a long time, dozens of rounds - why would anyone bother to top up every few rounds when you can just buy 4 packs and keep a spare battery in your pocket, I don't see . I fired over 80 shots with the 123 battery in my Pro1m. This CR2 device will be a bit smaller, but I will have a spare in my bag in case I need it. Also, a rechargeable battery wears out over time (like a car battery or a phone battery). Just put in another $2 of lithium and you'll get a new battery every time. Charging makes sense when power consumption is high, but in long-life applications like this or in your TV remote control, a small lithium battery offers reliable long life.
