Volvik V1 Laser Rangefinder Unveiled – and you’ll love the price!

view all articles

Despite having been first established in 1980, Volvik really came to prominence a few years ago as creators of multi-coloured performance golf balls that found their way into the bags of Tour Pros, including Bubba Watson and Carly Booth, before taking over the world of Long Drive.

Volvik have now made it’s first foray into the world of golf gadgetry with the release of it’s first laser rangefinder, aptly named V1.

 

What is it all about?

 

The V1 features a Pin Finder function, where it is able to quickly and easy locate the flag so that the process doesn’t intrude with your overall pre-shot routine, and is accurate to within 1 yard for up to 1200 yards thanks to 6x magnification.

The Slope Compensation mode, which has become commonplace among lasers in the last few years, provides adjusted yardages depending on elevation changes to stop you flying the green or coming up way short on undulating courses. This feature can also be switched off so that it is legal for competition use.

There’s also Priority First Goal technology which quickly and easily detects distances to objects in the forefront such as a bunker, and this is confirmed by a vibration so that you can be confident of your yardage when you step up to hit the shot.

 

 

 

The rangefinder comes in five different colours – all-black, orange, red, yellow and mint.  With a price-point at £199 this is also a product which may attract junior golfers or newcomers to the game, and so the bold colours could go down well with these people looking to stray away from traditional stuffy golf styling! The design is simple but it looks pretty fun and the sturdy case it comes with is very smart too.
