Big mistake buying a golf rangefinder!
When golfing, knowing the distance the first time around is important, and that determines performance. In practice, players often judge the distance from the ball to the pin by themselves or their caddies to decide which iron to choose in the bag and how hard to swing. In addition to the player's own level, the choice of professional equipment is also very important, the most direct of which is the laser rangefinder (single telescope rangefinder).
Mistakes that are prone to occur when buying a laser rangefinder:
1. Blind pursuit of high goals
Any product has its own technical indicators, and high indicators of course represent relatively high performance. The most important technical indicators of a golf rangefinder are its measurement range and accuracy. With the continuous breakthrough of laser rangefinder technology in terms of accuracy and ranging in recent years, many players want their equipment to be accurate at all times, so they are desperately pursuing products with high precision and high ranging when purchasing products. . Actually, this purchase is a misunderstanding. The rangefinder cannot satisfy the conditions for fully satisfying the parameters. There are many interference factors such as harsh environment, complex terrain, and actual measurement targets. When purchasing, if the user wants to measure the effect of 600 meters, do not choose a rangefinder with a parameter of 600, because this may not reach the data you want to measure.
2. Blind pursuit of high prices
Now the price of laser rangefinders on the market is extremely unstable, so many users think that high-priced products are good when purchasing, regardless of performance and applicability. They often start complaining when they use it and then have to spend money on other styles. So when you're shopping for a rangefinder, remember: price isn't the point, it's the product itself. See the product features clearly, don't blindly pursue low prices. Note that the functional parameters of the product are wrong and the function is less complex. Choose according to your own habits and needs. You can seek professional guidance if needed.
3. Ignore "safe" and "unsafe"
As the name suggests, laser rangefinders work with lasers as the main working material. At present, the working materials of hand-held laser rangefinders on the market mainly include the following:
Semiconductor lasers with working wavelengths of 905 nm and 1540 nm, and YAG lasers with working wavelengths of 1064 nm.
The wavelength of 1064 nanometers is harmful to human skin and eyes, especially the eyes. Permanent damage may occur once exposed to 1064 nm wavelength laser light. Therefore, the manufacture of foreign handheld laser rangefinders has completely banned the 1064 nm laser. However, in China, there are still some manufacturers producing 1064 nm laser rangefinders, which should be paid attention to when purchasing.
By eliminating these misunderstandings, players can quickly choose a rangefinder that suits them and achieve good results.
