Yes Simon! This is the content I have been desperate to see! Excellent work as usual sir.

Brilliant. I've been thinking about a range finder to complement my Garmin watch for picking out landing areas and fairway bunkers etc. You have just saved me a lot of money. Thanks Simon.

I have the Bushnell myself and it works great in most conditions. Used to have a cheaper one, but it had lots of trouble locking on the target in less than perfect conditions like rain and haze etc.

This is a great video. I am in the market to get a rangefinder and this helps a lot. I liked your analogy on Rolex vs G shock. You really do get what you pay for but for most of us who aren’t scratch golfers, getting something close enough may be a good guide. Thank you friend for your video. Great info!

Brilliant video I have been searching for one of these and dont think I'm good enough to by a bushnell and dont play in competition . and you never know if you should trust these reviews thanks very much Simon

Brilliant review. I just bought the Milessey myself, I'm a mid 20's handicapper with no aspirations to play competition golf myself so its perfect for me. I'd only play tourneys if i was serious and creeping to a sub 18 hcp in which case I would probably upgrade.

Good vid Simon. Always wonderes about these as see a lot on amazon and ebay claiming to do what a Bushie does but at a fraction of the price. Good to know about not finding a way to turn the slope function off. That alone would stop me from buying one 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Great informative video! Thanks Simon!

Thanks i have the same chep one it shuts off automatically after 8second when not used. its avery good product for the mony

Another informative video,cant wait for your grip film

Great video. Very useful information, always wondered if the cheap ones were any good.

Thanks for the video. Just bought a Mileseey to use mainly at the driving range. The one I go to has flags but they're not marked. Wanted something inexpensive to use on flags or trees.

I think as long as it gives you a good indication it should help. I have had one for the last year and has helped massively with club selection.

This came at a good time for me because I was looking to get a rangefinder for the next golf season but wasn't sure if the cheap ones were worth it. I might have to give that one I try especially since it is supprisingly cheap in Canada (we normally get screwed with the exchange rate).

Great video. I think the Mileseey one is a good choice for a beginner training. cheap but same accuracy!

I bought a cheap one 2 years ago. It was hopeless, it would only lock in on trees or a bunker. Then it broke. I returned and bought the Busnell V4 job done fantastic machine. You get what pay for with measuring equipment. I'm a surveyor by the way. Great video Simon.

Thanks for the great video. I have a Bushnell but can see where the cheap one is a good option for the average player as a time saver.

Marvelous stuff again Simon,top notch pal..👍👍

Great vid Simon the only flaw the range finders have is they don’t work great in early morning fog or mist , the watch comes in handy for that or a blind shot

I own this rangefinder as a backup for my Garmin watch and realy like it, workshop great!

I've never used a blazer range finder as I dont properly know the distance or the dispersion of my clubs. Awesome that your putting it in the dream bag.

As always, great work. Even with the cheap one. It's better than having a phone gps. I use it and sometimes it's better to disconnect.

Good review. I think the slope on off switch is in the battery compartment. I am getting a Mileseey for Christmas. I use the Golfpad app on my phone which is great for finding out how far you hit your clubs. I will be using both on the course

I’ve one of the first Bushnell’s made. Actually works more like the cheaper one you’re reviewing. Great review. Going to tech up to your Bushnell (which I purchased a few years ago as a gift for my brother’s 50th birthday) soon. Btw. I’m here in the states and your elocution is so cool!

I bought the same Mileseey last week for £64, tested it out the weekend and its spot on, will use it along side my GPS watch (which i sometimes forget to charge)

Splashed out on the top of the range Garmin that has the gps built in as well and have to say it's brilliant. To be able to see where on the green the pin is located from 150-200y out instead of just getting a distance number gives you the info on how to best play the shot to avoid sucker pins etc. Of course it still needs you to actually hit it, but for me it paints a clearer picture in my head. Also helps you when you cannot actually see the pin by giving you direction marker, excellent feature for us wayward hitters...

good comparison there , when you say both tell the time well its true , however when it comes to everything , the price as to do with build quality also so id say the reason in the price could also be linked to longevity and durability , id rather buy something one time and not have to buy again after, as always thanks for the honest review

Great bid. I bought a £80 one. You can turn slope off. Also vibrates when locked on. Not as quick as bushnell but I'm new and a bit shakey. Works well plus I don't mind so much if I damage a 80 quid device. Use it in conjunction with GPS watch and zapping hazards. Quite impressed with it.

I actually have never used a range finder on the course. Not that I don't need it but on my home courses I have a real good idea how far I am no matter my first shot. Great video Simon. Peace Love Respect

Good review. I always wonder if the lower cost ones will do what I need them to do verses the expensive ones. Currently use a GPS app for my yardage which does well enough but this has peeked my interest

Good review the white one for the compaction player. The blue one for everybody else. That’s my thoughts

I use both the Golfshot Plus App and a mid-range laser (Sureshot). GPS is a must when playing new/unfamiliar courses, especially for blind shots, hidden trouble or even how big a green actually is. My rangefinder gives greater accuracy on distance to pin, and a combination of both on tricky pins is amazing. I’ve had both for years and am extremely fast obtaining my readings. I’ve heard a lot of good things on the Precision Pro laser for the price, would love to hear you’re opinion if you get a chance 👍🏻

Just picked one up works great no problem I’m very happy

I’d like the see this video again with these 2 range finders and an app such as 18Birdies. I’m struggling with even seeing the need for a range finder because I have an app that tells me distances

Great video. I'm new to golf so something like this would be perfect for me to check my yardage. I currently play off about 18 and a half million so I wouldn't want to spend much more that £80 on something to tell me how far away the water hazard is! Thanks mate 😊👊🏻

If you really want to improve your accuracy hitting into flags (when it really counts) then having an accurate yardage to the pin is essential. Hence rangefinder for me. I bought a secondhand bushnell for £120 😉 keep up the great vids Simon thanks

bought one on Amazon last summer, $65!! works great!!

Good video. Now I can decide which will buy

Great 👍 been looking around at rangefinders and always wondered if I would be chucking money away on a cheap one. Wouldn’t use it enough to warrant £300

Great video bud. I don’t use the hand held devices as I really don’t like them and was always a bit sceptical as to their worth. Last year my significant other and my children bought me a SkyCaddie SX500 for my birthday. I absolutely love it!! I just attach it to my trolley, turn it on, it uses it’s GPS to find the course and away I go. I know that it’s expensive and I wouldn’t have it if I had to buy it myself, but it is the bees knees!! Lol.

Great video Simon, I use a Bushnell Tour V4 with slope (cost around £300) and I love it, however I also use a GPS app on my phone called SkyDriod which cost £1:50 which works perfectly when playing playing a blind 2nd shot!!

Just to clear up the slope function, there are two versions of this range finder. The one in this video is not tournament legal, it is always in slope mode and you can't turn it off. There is also a red and white version, that one has a switch to turn it on and off inside the battery door and that one is tournament legal.

Simon hope Mum and smallie are all good. I prefer my Golf Buddy GPS since 08, I've been Cat 1 player for years, the + or - 2 yards never cost me not tour standard😁😁. I love that I have yardage to Front Middle and Back, have yardage if I haven't a clear view of pin and its quicker just a glance at the screen. I've tried Laser but find it difficult to lock the target I've a shake in my hands (Surgeries) As for charging I do it at the same time as my buggy so it's never gone off on me mid round.

Nice review. Thanks!

Great review... keep it up!

My wife bought me an ‘Easygreen 1300’ for £105 off of groupon for my birthday present when kept going on at her that I wanted a £400 model! I can honestly say compared to my friends expensive models there is NO difference in measured distance up to 200 yards, maybe a yard either way which isn’t gonna make a world of difference anyway Great bit of kit and feel like it’s taken 3/4 shots a round off my game Great vid mate 👍🏻

I currently have a bushnell v2 and have lost the battery cap and cannot find a replacement ANYWHERE.So will give the mileseey a look.

My distance and reading eyesight are both poor but I can not were glasses on course as my iron shots are all fat due to ground looking closer. From 120 yards I can not tell if a pin is front, center or back of green but with magnification in Tour v4 I can read distance no bother. It is only after getting tour V4 I new my distances with each club especially from 130 yards in for wedges. Good to know I can tell my daughter she bought me a Rolex for fathers daythree years ago.

Nice needed this👌

Sunny golfer Mesa AZ. It's up to the eye of the beholder no pun intended. Yard to yard depending what again suits your eye they both work. And then there's the money thing that determines what you get for most people I think. Hit them straight

Cool video guvna, do they lock onto things other than the pin, like say you hit 50 8 irons go and pick up and scan back to your bag where you hit from to measure?

If I were to buy one, I'd probably not spend more than £100.. nice to know the 'cheaper' options are accurate. Good vid. I just use an app (GPS) on my mobile, works great an I can track my scores and other info.... 🏌🏻‍♂️⛳👍🏻

Had a Callaway 200, and a Nikon cool shot 20. Got a Gogogo Sport Laser for christmas from my mother-in-law who didn't know I already had 2 others. The Gogogo was only $70, the other 2 cost $200. The Gogogo matched the other 2 by 1 yard, and my buddies Bushnell by 1 yard. Glass was just as clear, and now I get slope readings too. I sold the 2 expensive ones, kept the Gogogo, and spent the extra cash on a new wedge.

I have the milessey one, and for me, as a beginner, it does the job.

Friend has a Bushel Tour 4v and Ive a wogo amazon one that cost a fraction of my mates one. The differences pretty much are its easier to find the target on the Bushnel (locks on much quicker than mine), a bit easier to use in dull light (yellow rhetorical vs black) but other than that they are essentially the same performance wise. Distances are pretty much the same (my game doesn't notice the one or two yard difference between the units) BUT on the plus side...I saved several hundred quid that I then didn't use on golf lessons! :)

I've just bought a Peak Pulse for £95 from Macleonard golf, Hollywood, Birmingham. UK. An awesome bit of kit A 3rd of the price for the same kit from eg Bushnell. Other makes available of course. Vibrates when on the flag stick, Also has the option to switch to slope so in effect it adds or reduces the yardage if it's up hill down hill.

Nice video Simon

Great video, are you able to turn off the slope function?

I hqve that exact cheap model as a new golfer it is fine. I also use 18birdes a superb combo.

Good vid. Thanks. As you say is the slight variation and the vibration when the Bushnell locks on worth £200? Don't thinking so. I am pleased that you continue to try and find different companies out there which try and make golf more affordable to the general Joe blogs. thanks

Great tool, easy to use, reliable

How about a review of the vice, oncore, cut golf balls to see if they are worth the savings over a pro v or similar ball.

I bought a cheap rangefinder with slope and vibration. It works perfect. Was $119 and saved me hundreds over the top rangefinders.

Liked...can you show us how to make a funnel cake, if not can you show how you change trajectory on chip and pitch shots... thanks love you channel

I had a £350 Bushnell it worked great, when it got nicked I got an Easy green 1300 of Experian £140 it is just as quick and accurate as the Bushnell and it has pinlock at a third of the price

I did a different version of this using a Garmin watch (Fenix 6 Sapphire) and Arccos on my phone (bought a set of Cobra clubs so got a free trial) and the difference was between 5 and 10 yards every time with the Arccos being slightly under meaning you may always end up short. Think this is due to the poor GPS receivers in phones. Garmin was always within 1 yards of my friends Bushnell. Amazing for GPS as we all know a good rangefinder will always be more accurate.

I got a Boblov which I bought at the end of last year. I use the phone/gps app for most, but sometimes I can’t see if a pin is front/back/middle and just lasering it in seconds give confidence. It is accurate enough, at least compared to my swing.

Got the boblov myself. Has the vibration on it as well. Tried it against my friends busnell and there is literally no difference. That cheaper one seemed to take an age to get the yardage!!!

I got a 60 quid laser off Amazon in the Black Friday sale last year. Never had one before always used a GPS watch. Love the laser, check distance to hazards, marker posts anything. Much more useful than the GPS. BUT I still wear the GPS as its a great ‘guide’ device, if your on the fairway and can see all of the green the GPS is good enough for me as a 14 Hcp. If I’m inside 150 then I’ll laser as I know my SW to 8 distances are +/- 5 and where the flag is exactly will make a big difference between clubs. Go cheap, 4 for the price of 1 !

The optics look a lot brighter on the Bushnell which is where some of the cost is going

Tbf for 70quid that's spot on, my garmin gps, gives front-middle- back, so to be able to point at pin and get 3-4 yard ball park is very good for that price, also that would come in handy at range to check pins ur aiming at, cant do that with a GPS

I have GPS and a cheap one, like the blue one. Can turn slope off on mine though. One advantage of range finder is if you are unsure of pin position on a green, you dont have to guess.

I got a Boblov range finder for about the same price as the cheap one in the video. Rechargeable via USB, battery life is huge. Boblov seems pretty accurate to me. It does not have all the bells & whistles of a Bushnell, in fact it is basic. I could do with some sort anti-shake system for me, but I have been impressed with the Boblov. I also have a Bushnell Excel GPS watch - it is great when it works, but fundamentally it is a really bad product (it cannot even tell the time accurately)

Gps watch convient some even come with slope. Some come with many more features that’s useful

My friend and i had a dispute about accuracy..he was using a cheap version similar to that one..i was using shot scope v2....few yards difference. ⛳👍

For me just a simple GPS watch to tell me front, center and back of the green will do.
