Should you opt for a rangefinder or GPS watch? This buying guide will help

rangefinders

There’s no question that a distance-measuring device can help you improve your game. But with so many different models on the market, it can be difficult to decide which one is best suited for your style of play.

Do you want a full-color hole overview, or straight-to-the-pin yardage? Are you interested in a slope function (which must be disabled for most official tournament play) or target-activated vibration feedback? 

Is your head spinning yet? The options are numerous!

Fortunately, there’s a convenient solution. With GlobalGolf’s USelect program, you can receive personalized recommendations on the best gear for your game — including rangefinders and GPS watches.

Dial in your game with a distance-measuring device. global golf

Here’s how it works:

Visit GlobalGolf.com and click on USelect. From there, you’ll see an extensive menu of categories. Click on “Golf Tech” to start your personalized quiz.

Once you answer a few quick questions about the performance benefits you’re looking for in an ideal distance-measuring device, you’ll be led to a page featuring the best recommendations for your wants and needs — multiple brands at multiple price points, with models from the top-rated manufacturers in the game, including Bushnell, Garmin, Blue Tees, Precision Pro, Nikon, Sky Golf and Golf Buddy. Each highlighted selection will be compatible with your desired specs.

Once you have your selections narrowed down, you might still be wondering which one to buy. GlobalGolf’s UTry program enables you to test out a selected model for a 14-day trial period for only $25. If you love it, you can deduct the trial fee from the product’s price. If not, you can simply send it back with the included pre-paid return label.

You can also upgrade your existing golf tech gear by trading in an older model, via GlobalGolf’s UTrade-In program. Visit GlobalGolf.com and click on UTrade-In to find your device’s value, and the amount will be deducted from your new device when you return the old one. 

So, what are you waiting for? Check out the link below to start shopping for the best rangefinder or GPS watch for your game now.

Global Golf will show you the best golf GPS watches or rangefinders for your game. All recommendations are approved by PGA pros.
