    Bushnell Hybrid Laser GPS

    Any opinions on this?

    There's one in our Pro Shop that I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on.

    Not sure if the price tag warrants it's actual value though...

    What's the benefit to the GPS? The laser will give you an exact distance to the pin....GPS, not so much.

    Not much a laser can do on blind shots.

    How blind? Just trying to picture this scenario. If you can't see the pin, how can you go straight at it?

    Are you trolling? Or seriously unaware of how a gps system is beneficial?

    You have instant yardage to end of fairway on doglegs or distance to traps.

    I do like a laser for pins, but that is not going to give you distance to front and back, or carry of a bunker in an instance.

    Wasn't trying to educate you....trying to figure out why you think you need the added GPS feature. I've used both and I can't see myself needing GPS now that I have a rangefinder.

    My mistake. Apologies for coming off strong.

    It's situational. The unit is on the desk at the pro shop. It seems like a cool idea. I currently have a broken SGX. I like gps but would like a range finder.

    Should have grabbed the V3 from GT during father's day....$269 was tough to pass up....happy with my purchase. too bad i've been hitting my irons longer lately so my distances are a big mess in my head.

    You can still find them on eBay for near or less than that.
