Ok time to fess up here , Mr
"25yards before the 150 mark is 175 & while i can still add up that will be good enough for me"
has gone and bought a G5 approach , mainly because of vouchers for the shop & didnt need anything else.. ok to the review..
Start up.. When i tried to locate my club it was not on the system it kept finding clubs close to me , so i followed the very simple instructions & updated the unit on my PC, 10 mins later sorted , even has the local par 3 listed , i procedeed to look at some of the local courses through the preview section..
to the course .. . the touch screen facility allows you to get yardage to any part of the fairway & tells you how far to that point & that point to the green , takes guess work out of lay ups , yardage is to the flag in the centre of the green , there is a facility to move the flag forward or back to closer exact yardage ..
Ok il be honest i did still do the yardage in my head & compared it to the G5 , the most i was out was 3 yards , so i stil say they are no major advantages on your own regular course , but would be massive help on a strange course..
There is a facility for keeping the scores , not sure il use that , also one for stats , i prob will use that.. for practice , it also has a facility to measure the distance on your shots , hit the shots & walk to the ball & measure the exact distance you actualy hit it .. 372
All in all after one round i can see massive benifits for having it , its easy to use , waterproof , sturdy , & has good solid clip to hold it to ur bag , it works off 2 AA batteries , so rechargable will save you dosh in the future , but if you forget to charge it just buy 2 that will last aprox 15 hours. distances can also be measured in yards or meters.. can be set to move automaticaly or manualy from hole to hole ,
An unbeliever has been converted .. sorry for the long post
