The fast laser measurement that recognizes shots in 0.1 seconds and the Pin Tracer Jolt function were good, but the satellite logo at the top and the logo on the right indicate that the GPS Pin Assistant has been activated. As you can see, even though I did n't hit the pin exactly, the technology that accurately measured the distance to the pin was amazing.Watch B
Short answer: yes. Not just “still worth it,” but still my top overall recommendation for most golfers, three-plus years after I first got my hands on one.Read D
Overall, it maintains the design of the SL series and maintains a luxurious and elegant feeling unlike the existing rangefinders. The sophisticated leather finish of the body, the jewel-like metal body and lens controller, and the circular LCD screen are all designed to be seamless within the structural space of the range finder.Watch G GabbyggolferG Facebook post

Huge success! The SL3, with its dazzling appearance and a list price approaching 1 million won, is luxury itself. Although the price is set that way, the retail price is 799,000 won—just 1,000 won less than 800,000 won. Still expensive. They claim it is the best rangefinder selected by the British Golf Monthly, and let's see. the way the polishing meter glides on is truly classy.Watch S

If you want one number you can commit to, the Voice Caddie SL3 earns its spot in the bag. If the case magnet is weak is a dealbreaker for you, keep looking.Read D
Voice Caddy SL3 was very easy to use as it only had two measurement buttons and a brightness control button. The LCD screen at the bottom was operable by touch, so it was so intuitive that I didn't even have to look at the user manual. Although it is a bit heavy at 220g, it has a luxurious design and the quality of the materials is very high. However, the resolution of the round LCD was not high,Watch G
Cons: Expensive Laser less effective in bright light Limited battery lifeRead S
While the SL3 lets you toggle slope mode on or off, there's no external display for tournament mode. So, if you forget to switch it off, it might be a bit risky for the strict tournament environment. Now, let's shift gears and talk about the performance. What sets the SL3 apart is its optical lens. Unlike some rangefinders, it gives you that traditional viewfinder experience.Watch
