The ifrothgolf review
It's Blue Tees' top laser rangefinder, a sub-premium unit that throws in slope, a magnetic cart mount and a USB-C rechargeable battery for the kind of money you'd normally pay for a stripped-back model. Aimed at the club golfer who wants the gear without the Bushnell tax.
What's great
For the money, this thing punches well above its weight. The magnetic strip is the real star, it latches onto the cart frame and stays put over the bumps so it's not rattling round the bottom of your bag. Slope works well and the toggle switch is dead easy to flick off when you're playing a comp, and the vibration pulse gives you that reassuring buzz when it grabs a number. USB-C charging means no more faffing about hunting for those daft CR2 batteries, and a couple of reviewers got six-plus rounds out of a charge without denting the indicator. Inside 150 yards it's quick and accurate, and Blue Tees back it with a 2-year warranty.
Worth knowing
It's not flawless. independent testing ranked it middle of the pack for speed (12th of 24) and below average on optics (14th of 24), and the glass genuinely is a step behind a Bushnell V6 in low light, you'll notice it side by side. The bigger gripe is pin-seeking past 150 yards, where it can struggle to grab the flag and pick up the bush or tree behind it, so you're double-checking the number. Slope mode slows it down further. And build quality is a touch plasticky, one owner had the silver front trim piece fall off after 18 months. Not a unit for serious tournament players chasing pinpoint long-range locks.
The verdict
I rate it for the everyday club golfer who wants slope, a cart mount and rechargeable battery without paying premium money. Just go in knowing the optics are average and long-range pin-locking is its weak spot, if that bothers you, save up for a Bushnell.
What reviewers say
Reviewers love the compact ergonomics and value; the weaker pin-lock at long range is the main caveat.
