Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The on/off button is a little stiff, but that is my only complaint. The only complaint my husband has is he forgets to take it with him sometimes.

Golf buddy vs4 is much faster than a range finder. Only drawback is that the golf buddy is consistently 2-4 yards less than all of my friends devices to include garmin and sky caddie. I wish this had layup yardage as well.



Cons

Cute little device and worked well for less than a year. It quit working totally october 117, 2015. I plan to mail it back to golfbuddy requesting a full refund.

The clip that holds it to your pant pocket is not any good. Though once clipped onto watch band very hard to take off. It's difficult to tell if the button is being pushed.

Quality


As for the quality and for what i paid it has given me back during my golf game with great yardage and has helped my game out tremendously


Excellent as advertised as this is the 2nd one i owned after losing the 1st and this was the better version with the belt clip ...  Read More


But im not impressed with the yardage so far


With my experience with the battery life being what it is not being able to charge and operate it at the same time is a huge let down

Price


Defintely worth the price especially when it goes on sale


Update golf buddy replacing my broken unit at no cost thank you

Shipping


Works great easy to use and super fast shipping

Packaging/appearance


But believe it or not i accidentally left this one in my pocket and threw it into the wash


Updateupdateupdateupdateupdatei originally gave this unit a threestar review mostly because of inconsistent yardage


Granted it has a translucent black splotch in the screen

Competitiveness


Much faster than using a range finder and a lot less expensive


Sometimes it would barely get through a single round


Original review belowas nothing more than a distance measuring unit its adequate for what it cost


That being said its probably better than simply eyeballing the range
