The ifrothgolf review
The GoGoGo Sport Vpro is the budget laser rangefinder that punches way above its price, aimed at club golfers and weekend hackers who want yardages without remortgaging the house. Slope is toggleable on the slope models, which keeps it legal for comp days.
What's great
For what you pay, the accuracy is genuinely silly good. Testers like Plugged In Golf had it within a yard of lasers costing four times as much on flat readings, and the pin-lock is quick with a proper buzz when it grabs the flag. The 6x optics are clear, it runs on cheap AAA batteries (no faffing with charging cables), and the built-in magnet for sticking it to your trolley or cart frame is one of the strongest I've come across. Slope toggles off cleanly so it's fine for your medal.
Worth knowing
It's not flawless. Push past roughly 150 to 180 yards on a tree-lined hole and it'll happily lock onto a trunk or post behind the pin and hand you a duff number, so you'll re-shoot now and again. Slope-adjusted figures drift by up to 5 yards at long range versus premium units (internally consistent, just a different formula). The body feels a touch plasticky and it's only IP54, so it's splash-proof, not monsoon-proof. Glasses wearers may find the eye relief a bit tight.
The verdict
If you want 90 percent of a premium rangefinder for a third of the cost, I rate this highly and happily recommend it. Just accept the odd dodgy reading at distance and don't treat it like a tour-grade tank.
What reviewers say
Owners rave about the value and say it ranges as well as lasers costing four times more. The recurring gripe is low-light clarity, fine on a normal round, less so at dusk.
