It’s understandable that golfers may experience sticker shock when looking at newly released equipment. The game we love can become quite expensive. However, there’s a particular category of products that doesn’t have to break the bank: rangefinders. While some brands do carry premium price tags, there are many options available that offer good performance for under $199.

Callaway joined the fun earlier this week when they introduced their first batch of Chrome Tour Major Series golf balls, known affectionately as “April Major.” Now, they are back to doing what they do best: releasing some new drivers. Three of them, to be exact.

Looking back, one of the first rangefinders I reviewed for THP was the Precision Pro Nexus in 2015. At that time, the Nexus was a straightforward device that offered only two shooting modes: Target Lock and Dynamic Scanning Technology. These modes allowed golfers to focus on the flagstick (or other targets) or quickly scan an area for multiple yardages. It was definitely a budget-friendly option. Why reflect on this journey?

The TW767 lineup features four distinct irons: the V iron (most demanding), Vx (forged cavity), Px (players distance), and Hx (most forgiving) models.

It may seem unfair to say it, but when discussing players distance irons, Tour Edge is not typically a name that comes to mind. Nonetheless, the Exotics iron lineup certainly merits recognition, as Tour Edge has become renowned for delivering strong performance at a more affordable price. After choosing not to release any Exotics irons for the 2024 season, Tour Edge made a significant impression by unveiling three irons in the 725 lineup.

Many people probably think of the same prominent names when discussing laser rangefinders. Aside from some pop-up brands, the rangefinder market has become somewhat lethargic. Recently, THP has been highlighting Vortex Golf and their incredible transition from birdwatching to golf. I recommend checking out their brand story if you haven’t heard about their journey. As Vortex entered the golf market, they leveraged their optical expertise to create three different laser rangefinders.
