Nikon Laser 350G Take To The Golf Course
When I tested the Nikon Laser 350G in Baildon golf last week, I thought I would take along my SkyCaddie that allows me to compare and contrast. However, that plan went up in smoke when I realized I had forgotten to download in Baildon SkyCaddie Thus, meaning he had no readings. There are discount golf equipment
Baildon is an undulating course and exposed the obvious weakness with a laser range-finder. When you can not see the flag that is stuffed!
Whether you opt for a GPS device for measuring distances as the SkyCaddie or a laser rangefinder, like the Nikon Laser 350G is pretty much down to personal preference. Search the Internet and there is much debate in chat forums in which each field in the defense of their products and choose the holes in the other.
I asked a scratch golfer what he thought and he gave me this answer is very bulky.
It's an interesting debate a GPS v Laser.
My brother, dad and I are going on a vacation golfing little each year and this time it seemed to me my dad with a SkyCaddie, I used my brother laser and a free golf GPS on your Blackberry.
The results were really interesting. The GPS made enough free well and my brother loved him because he was absolutely free, but struggled to get yards too often true for me.
The SkyCaddie was excellent and up My father understood how to use it, but a couple of times, in my opinion, do not give the exact yards to the flag, unlike the laser.
However, links Laser stiff breeze was at times difficult to use.
Without doubt, my personal preference is for the SkyCaddie but that probably has a lot to do with the fact I am a high handicapper (24). No need to know an exact yards for the pin. I feel it is more than sufficient, and actually more comforting to know the distances to the average, front and rear.
However, it is not difficult to see why a great player prefers extra laser precision.
The compact Nikon Laser 350G and very easy to use and, of course, has been specifically designed for golf.
First, the target priority mode allows easy measurement the distance to the goal, even against a background of trees or buildings. And by "objective" need not be the flag. Distances to bunkers or water hazards angles a dogleg can be measured easily.
It is also water resistant, measures 11 to 550 yards and thanks to the R & A, recently amended rule on range finders (Rule 14-3B) * is now a legal addition to their field golf bag.
Another consideration is that they can also be used in practice. "Arrive at each club 10 times, the discount his bad shots and record the distance to good shots, just take the average.
In short, if your preference is for a laser rangefinder, the Nikon Laser 350G is an excellent and affordable option.
However, if you're willing to pay a little more, the Nikon Laser 350G brother also has a more advanced – The S 550A – more suitable for the serious amateur and professional.
Taking measure of the distance of one step further by allowing the slope of golf course land. That means if you have an uphill or downhill shot to work, the Nikon Laser 550A S take into account both the distances and the angles of slope height and adjust your footage to pin accordingly.
Note that, at present, it is only legal for use in practice not in the competition.
