When playing golf, it is important to know the distance at the first time, which determines the performance. In practice, players often judge the distance from the ball to the flagpole by themselves or their caddies, and thus decide which iron club to choose in the bag and the strength of the swing. In addition to the player's own level, the choice of professional equipment is also very important, and the most direct one is the laser rangefinder (single telescope rangefinder).
Common misunderstandings when buying a laser rangefinder:
1. Blind pursuit of high goals
Any product has its own technical indicators, and high indicators certainly represent higher performance. The most important technical indicators of a golf rangefinder are its measurement range and accuracy. With the continuous breakthroughs in the accuracy and distance measurement of laser rangefinders in recent years, many players hope that their equipment will always be accurate, so when purchasing products, they desperately pursue high-precision and high-range products. .In fact, this purchase is a misunderstanding. The rangefinder cannot meet the conditions of fully meeting 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
The price of laser rangefinders on the market is extremely unstable, so many users think that high-priced products are good when they buy, regardless of performance and applicability. They often start to complain when using them, and then have to spend money to buy other styles. So when you buy a rangefinder, remember: price is not the point, the point is the product itself. Look at the product features clearly and don't blindly pursue low prices. Pay attention to the product's functional parameter errors and less complex functions. Choose according to your own habits and needs. If necessary, you can seek professional guidance.
3. Ignore "safe" and "unsafe"
As the name implies, laser rangefinders work with lasers as the main working material. At present, the working materials of handheld laser rangefinders on the market are mainly the following:
Semiconductor lasers with working wavelengths of 905 nanometers and 1540 nanometers, and YAG lasers with working wavelengths of 1064 nanometers.
The wavelength of 1064 nanometers is harmful to human skin and eyes, especially eyes. Once exposed to a 1064nm wavelength laser, permanent damage may occur. Therefore, the manufacture of foreign handheld laser rangefinders has completely banned the use of 1064nm lasers. However, in China, some manufacturers still produce 1064nm laser rangefinders, so you should pay attention when purchasing.
By eliminating these misunderstandings, players can quickly choose a rangefinder that suits them and achieve good results.
