Firstly, the device is definitely a game changer. It does feel like it's almost cheating. Pros: - Lasering a flag and knowing how much space you have from the front/back/left/right - All hazards are tagged and you can flip between them. - Knowing the distances for blind tee shots - Battery lasts 4.5 18-Holes
Cons - The 'case' sucks. It's super tight and unusable during play. I use a Callaway range finder clamshell case for it. MAKE a CLAMSHELL case Garmin like the Z80. - Sometimes it doesn't hit the flag but the tree, HOWEVER you know it missed because the yellow line across the green doesn't show up - No magnetic side. Can't put a magnetic wrap as the original case is too tight.

I really like this rangefinder, screen is ultra clear and features unlike any other. Only reason I didn’t give it a five is the GPS readings aren’t always accurate and leads to confusing. For example, the pin might show 140 (back pin placement) and back edge of the green show 135.
