What does this mean?Pros & Cons
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.
Highlights
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
