    i've found a ton of value from the range finder by looking at the distance to the front of the green and the back of the green, then giving myself a distance range not an exact number. for example if the front of the green is 130 you can safely guesstimate that your going to have about an extra 20 yards longer to play with because a green is going to be roughly 20 to 30 yards long, so your shot should go within 130 and 150 dependingon the green youre hitting to. i found im making less decisions on my clubs, having less stress to hit an exact distance, and i find myself landing way more greens. if im trying to hit 140 exactly i might try to dial down an 8iron or dial up a 9 iron then possibly mess up my swing or shot. helps on the mental game a lot.

    So I finally lost my rangefinder on the course last week. it was a Nikon I spent $400 on 3 years ago. Wanted an inexpensive one going forward and I remember you did this video. Bought it solely based on your use of red tiger. Never heard of it before I watched your vids….anyhow Thank you for the recommendation. Can’t wait to use it!

    I worked hard on my 30-60 yard short game this year with about a 25 carry swing. I know how far each club rolls out with that swing. I have poor depth perception so on shots in this range I’ll pull out my range finder and shoot the flag. I then have a confidential shot because I’m sure of the distance. I’m probably one of few players that pull out a rangefinder inside of 50 yards.

    • @Redskies453
      @Redskies453 7 місяців тому

      I do. I measure everything outside 30 feet. I literally want to know if it's a 12 or 15 metre chip. Inside 50 I will have 5m between clubs, inside 20 I will have 3. You're aiming to get pitches inside 10 feet and chips inside 6 or even 3. Have to know the difference between 15 landing on a downslope and 20 on the up. Totally different shots.

      I have played with PLENTY of guys who tell me they are 'all feel' inside 100 yards - they don't need the rangefinder for those shots.
      Not a single one of these guys has been any good at those shots. LOL

      There is nothing wrong with the HOTO. I never said it was THE BEST. It is a good product and there is no problem with it. Every year there are new products. But for under $120, there isnt a better deal than the REDTIGER for that price.

    I have this friend, let’s call him “J”. Anyways, he kind of duffed his tee shot today. So with the Red Tiger range finder (suggested by the Playa in Chief) I shot the distance across the river for him and let him know that the shrubs on the river’s edge were only 125 yards out. We were both amazed. He stripes a shot easily clearing the river and the shrubs and is back into the fairway. This is probably the most advanced technological invention under $100. If this isn’t, what is? Seriously.

I’ve watched videos of gps watch comparisons and they’re all pretty close to one another. So if those are all close and the range finder hits different I’d say either pin placement is way diff than center of the green or its human error. But that’s just my thinking.

    Is that Dweezil Zappa giving you the business about shooting the rangefinder when you are 275 out? Total b.s. Also, you forgot the 11th way to use the rangefinder......when you need to zoom in on the foursome in front of you marking their 3rd putts when they are 2 feet out and just generally dicking around all day. Helps to really get your anger and rage built up if you can zoom in on their antics on the green and crack some jokes about them.
