Before You Decide
Check that you want a handheld golf unit with both launch monitor feedback and GPS course tools. Review the 5-inch touchscreen, the stated battery life and the bundled accessories before choosing an offer. If you mainly want a simpler distance device without practice metrics, this is a different type of purchase.
