I am enjoying the CaddyTalk CUBE. I've used it on five rounds now and it seems pretty accurate. I especially like the Caddy Mode feature that allows me to triangulate distance. I like to have a rough estimate of how wide a green is. I can also use it to judge the relative width of a fairway.
Seems to work really good. Only had it for 2 rounds so far. Small and lightweight.
Love the CUBE for many reasons and IS the best range finder on the market. Now I have the Magnetic Silicone case which takes it to another level. I'm all about function and visual aesthetics of this product!
Have really enjoyed using the CaddyTalk range finder. Convenient size, accurate and easy to use functions. Caddy mode works great unless you unfortunately have black tee markers on your course. Other than that, very convenient on CPO days or while you are waiting for someone to play as you can get your yardage ahead of time. Availability of magnetic case is a big plus. Looking for a new range finder, this would be a great choice in my opinion.
Great unit - locks onto the target quickly even when there's movement - cut down on my playing time as I just keep it in my pocket and it removes the step of having to go back to the bag and then putting a large rangefinder backinto a holder - functional and also quick with the numbers..
I have only used it once so far. Dropped 4 strokes and shot a 88. Might not sound very good but when you shot ninety plus I feel great. Feels great in my hands, very bright but still learning. When I ordered it 3 days later on my porch. Thanks.
Compared to all of the rangefinders out there, the Minimi is a check in my book. It may be a little pricey for some folk, but the slope reading is accurate and I love how they have this E-Slope feature that accounts for environment factors. The battery lasts many rounds and it's so easy to recharge on the go.
The Minimi is quick to pin and has clean optics. Haven't had any issues and am excited to test it out more!
Saw in another article that this may give one or two yards of extra consideration, and decided to still give it a shot. After taking it out for a round, this is actually the perfect device for me & the measurements were super helpful. Definitely will recommend this to everyone around me!
A few years ago, I was in need of a new range finder. Came across the Caddie Cube, and was interested in the technology being offered specifically, triangulating distance from the ball to the pin and the E and M slope features. This, decided to give the product a go. Happy to report that the Cube is high end tech and was exactly as advertised. Could not have had a better experience with it, but unfortunately for me, I lost it. I almost never write reviews, but considering after the round that I discovered the Caddie Cube was lost, I immediately reordered, thought, what the heck, chip in a five star review with a few thoughts. So for everyone in the market for a new range gun, invest in the Caddie Cube. By far the best range gun on the market.
Really nice and compact, does what it supposed to do, can fit in your pants pocket without interference, fast and easy to use, the only thing I would suggest is a magnet on the side to attach to the cart but then I would most likely leave it there when I'm done my round, Oops!
Performs just as advertised. Took me a little bit of trial and error to get started but in a very short time I had it down! Very glad I have it.
I wanted to purchase the new case for my Caddy Talk Range Finder which is not available online, but customer support help me buying the one. Shipment was also quick! Thank you for the great service!
Cube takes a little time to get used to. Triangulation is good but not great.
I love this range finder. It sits on my belt above my back right pocket. And where I walk every round, I don’t have to fumble for it etc. it’s basically on my hip. And the optics are crystal clear. Accurate. And just a great functional finder. Bought it at launch and love it.
still waiting for shipment. It's been 2 weeks. not recieved
The only original downside to this rangefinder was that there was no magnet for the cart. However, this is now completely solved. The magnet is very strong and will not fall off the cart even when going over bumps.
Triangulation feature is amazing. Useful on par 3’s to measure distance tee to flag from cart path. Can’t wait to use it during Arizona overseed when fairways are closed to carts.
Side screen doesn’t work.
Really difficult to hold steady, consequently you get multiple yardages.
I was hoping to be in love with it but, instead, am having to decide whether to live with it. If I do, it will be because of the Caddy Mode. Only.
Physical design:
The Power Button
1) It’s not immediately apparent which is the top or bottom when I take it out of my bag. Putting the mode switch on the bottom directly opposite the power/scan button on the top was a missed opportunity to quickly orient the product.
2) This is even worse with the silicone case which make the mode switch very visible while completely hiding the power button both visibly and tactically.
3) The location of the power button is just.. awkward. I can't tell if it’s too far back or too far forward but I have to shift the unit in my hand for my finger to reach it. I have regular hands and have never have a problem with range finder ergonomics so I suspect most others would share my feeling.
The Range Finder
1) It just doesn't lock on to flags. My first test was at the driving range before a round. There were around a dozen regular size flags at different distances and I was shocked at how often it caught objects behind the flags or just gave some erroneous reading. Resetting the sensor didnt seem to make a difference.
2) You have to release the scan button to get the jolt which is just so unintuitive. So here’s the process: press the button and hold it, find your target and, very carefully, hold it precisely over the target as you release the button.
3) The device is so shaky and the location of button makes the whole device move when you press it. This makes it so hard to fire at an object.
4) The viewfinder display is chunky and, at dusk or dawn, blindingly bright if you have the daytime brightness selected.
5) It’s whole yards only which is a 3 foot difference and, for better players, makes a real difference.
6) The battery level doesn’t display anywhere and, if there’s a mode to get it to show like it does in the manual, the manual doesn’t tell you how to get there.
7) Caddy mode works when you can lock on to your targets. This was the biggest reason I bought it and the only reason I might keep it. It’s incredibly handy.
8) The exit pupil is extremely small which means that your eye has to align perfectly with it otherwise it goes black. This is not something I’d experienced with higher end rangefinders like Bushnell.
Charging
1) It comes with a short USB cable but not a charger. Which normally wouldn’t be a problem but it warns against using chargers over a certain power rating. If it can’t regulate power from any USB charger, then include a $3 charging brick. For $349, I’d expect more than just a cheap cord (which, for some reason, it recommends you use).
Silicone Case
1) It completely covers the power button and you can’t feel if you’re pressing it.
Do you offer veterans discounts???
Hi J.R. Thanks for your question. We do not at this time, but if we do decide to in the future, we will announce it!
I like that it is compact and fits in my hand. I am very happy that I purchased the magnetic holder. It took me a few rounds to get used to it but I found it very accurate. I used the caddytalk and the M slope. I am very happy with the product
