Exclusive Tips
1. In addition to merely measuring the distance to the pin, don't forget to include other factors in your choice of club like wind,
elevation change, and where you want to land the ball. Standing next to your ball or the correct tee when taking the distance
can also make a big difference.
2. Golfers tell us that they prefer normal mode for targets inside 150 yards and scan or pin mode for those that are
further away. Using scan or pin mode is a great idea when shooting difficult targets in windy conditions, that are far
away or which are surrounded by background objects.
3. Because the pin mode uses closest object priority technology to pick out the pin among background objects you may
want to be careful to release the power button before panning too far and accidentally measuring something that is
closer to you than the pin.
4. You can also use the rangefinder to find distances you need to avoid. Try using scan mode to read all of the terrain in
front of you so that you can be sure to make the ball fly over any trouble like water hazards.
5. Holding the rangefinder steady is essential to getting an accurate reading.
6. Having a good breathing technique will help. You can also try holding it so that at least one finger from the hand that is
holding the rangefinder is touching you head which steadies the finder. If possible, you can rest your elbow against your
chest too.
7. Improve practice and shot variation by measuring various distances while practicing. This will help you build
confidence and consistency at different distances.
