I used to think a rangefinder was a rangefinder — that it doesn’t really matter which one you use. Then I got this one from Cobalt, and it was a complete game-changer.

At first, I liked it for its sleek look, but its functionality is what ultimately won me over. It locks onto the pin and vibrates when you get your yardage. That isn’t a super unique feature, but if you’re using a range finder that doesn’t do that, you should upgrade. It really gives you extra confidence over the ball that you have the right number. It has a convenient switch on the side to turn slope on or off, but it’s tucked away enough to prevent you from accidentally making a switch. It’s fully waterproof and has a long lasting battery life. The carry case easily and securely clips onto your bag without looking too bulky as well.
