Welcome to Out Of Bounds Golf. My name is Jon and I&#039;m just an average golfer making videos on the internet. What you&#039;ll see here are videos on different golf products and we&#039;ll be trying to figure out what works the best for the average hacker. We&#039;ll be doing product reviews, comparisons between two similar products, the best gear for different types of players, and maybe we&#039;ll just play a round of golf. I&#039;ve been playing golf on and off for a number of years now but have become a lot more consistent over the past couple of seasons. Not long ago I was shooting somewhere around 100 and playing &quot;out of bounds&quot; golf way too often. I&#039;ve consistently broken 90 now and am working on breaking the 80 mark. My best round to date was 84 on a par 72 and my best 9 holes were 4 over.

Some were a lot better than others. The reason I wanted to try the VPRO was that it seemed to be one of the most popular models and the price was reasonable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It had an all-black body which was good lookin\u2019 and it was nice and compact. It was supposed to read targets up to 540 yards and be accurate to +\/- 1 meter (I\u2019ll get to this in a sec)\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I found it super easy to use, and the display screen was perfectly fine for me. The one thing I noticed was that you really needed a steady hand to lock in on things far away, but other than that, there wasn\u2019t anything negative at first look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It came with a carrying bag which was awesome (a lot don\u2019t so it was nice to see that). Don\u2019t know about you, but I tend to throw my&nbsp;gear around a bit, so having a bag would definitely help keep it in one piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, first impressions were good, but what about performance\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Did It Perform?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before I tested mine out I looked around for some reviews and found some people having trouble with theirs and other people loved theirs. Mixed feelings, so I was curious\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My guess was the people who had troubles probably had shakey hands or were one of those people who\u2019re terrible with gadgets. There are always 2 sides to every story, but what did I think of it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I actually didn\u2019t have any problems with mine. I found it to be just as accurate as any other laser rangefinder (within 1 meter) so that was a big plus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was easy to use and the display was easy to read. You can switch between meters and yards (which a lot of people were curious about) and the only thing I noticed was that you needed pretty steady hands for faraway targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing I heard about it was it tends to fog up sometimes. I didn\u2019t have this problem, so I\u2019m sure as long as you take care of the thing it\u2019ll last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a demo video:<\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube\"><div class=\"lyte-wrapper\" title=\"TecTecTec Golf Rangefinder How-To Tutorial\" style=\"width:853px;max-width:100%;margin:5px auto;\"><div class=\"lyMe hidef\" id=\"WYL_oEvZ5IEquHo\" itemprop=\"video\" itemscope itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\"><div><meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FoEvZ5IEquHo%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg\" \/><meta itemprop=\"embedURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oEvZ5IEquHo\" \/><meta itemprop=\"duration\" content=\"PT2M16S\" \/><meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2017-12-11T08:21:17Z\" \/><\/div><div id=\"lyte_oEvZ5IEquHo\" data-src=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FoEvZ5IEquHo%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg\" class=\"pL\"><div class=\"tC\"><div class=\"tT\" itemprop=\"name\">TecTecTec Golf Rangefinder How-To Tutorial<\/div><\/div><div class=\"play\"><\/div><div class=\"ctrl\"><div class=\"Lctrl\"><\/div><div class=\"Rctrl\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/oEvZ5IEquHo\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-youtube-lyte\/lyteCache.php?origThumbUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FoEvZ5IEquHo%2F0.jpg\" alt=\"TecTecTec Golf Rangefinder How-To Tutorial\" width=\"853\" height=\"460\" \/><br \/>Watch this video on YouTube<\/a><\/noscript><meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"https:\/\/us.tectectec.com TecTecTec Rangefinders feature ultra-clear, multi-layered optical lenses for excellent visual clarity, 6x magnification and diopter adjustment, ensuring golfers can easily lock onto any object and receive accurate yardage readings.\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"lL\" style=\"max-width:100%;width:853px;margin:5px auto;\"><\/div><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who\u2019s This Rangefinder Best For?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I think this is a great option for anyone who\u2019s tighter on a budget and doesn\u2019t want to break the bank with the super expensive rangefinders. Does it do all the same things? Pretty much. I mean, it doesn\u2019t have the slope or anything like that, but it does the main job of a rangefinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want something with more bells and whistles, you golf a lot, and you have the money to spend, go with a more techy model such as the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/outofboundsgolf.co\/nikon-coolshot-80\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nikon Coolshot 80<\/a>.

It was reasonably priced and it did everything you\u2019d want a distance finder to do. Sure, there are higher quality models out there, but they\u2019re going to hurt the wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was accurate enough for me, was simple to use, and yeah that\u2019s about it\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><em><strong><a class=\"aawp-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00OMXN0Z8?tag=gweek_end-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" title=\"Check the current price on Amazon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" data-aawp-product-id=\"B00OMXN0Z8\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Upgraded Slope - TecTecTec VPRO500 Golf Rangefinder with Slope - Laser Range Finder with Flagseeker VPRO500\u00ae - Laser Binoculars - with Battery\">Check the current price on Amazon<\/a>\u00a0(best place we could find it).<\/strong><\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me know your thoughts and any questions you have.
