For the mid to high end of that range, the Honma T//World GS Driver is about forgiveness. At the lower end, the emphasis on the speed-favoring elements with forgiveness mixed in. T//World TR drivers are also an option for those folks.

Some can provide GPS measurement readouts on the unit itself for quick feedback. Also, some OEMs have an application that provides more information about the specific hole you’re on.

What’s most impressive about this year’s group of laser rangefinders is that accuracy has improved dramatically across the field. Nearly every rangefinder in the test is accurate within five yards.
