can i mark a ball to find my shot distance?

Yes it is easy, just press a button and the distance from that spot to any other is measured

If you mean can you find out how far you hit your ball, then yes. You can set the GPS to "0" at any time and then walk to your ball. It will tell you the distance you traveled.

Yes, from the place you hit your shot, press the button in the upper left corner and you will see a big zero, then walk/drive to your ball and it will give you the distance your shot went.

There is a feature on watch that measures from the point where you hit your ball to where your ball landed by selecting on the menu then walking directly to your ball. Hope that helps.

We do not reccommend using erasable markers as they have a tendency to blur or rub off with handling. Using Post It Notes make it so easy to record the individual scores and then take them off at the end of the game and arrange them in order from high to low to determine the winner. Great! No more hunting for tallies

Yeah, I use 10x, too, for zero ... since I'm not a real 'professional' shooter I use trial & error plus drop info online for the loads I use at 50 meter increments for the first two BDC lines/dots then at 100 meters each for the rest ... once I know where the bullet goes it's easy to correlate actual performance to the BDC indicator. My method may not be the smart/smartest way to make the marks useful but it works for me.

You can grab the scroll bar and use the track ball to move it. Hope that answers your question.

Hello,The product doesn't aim at tracking putt distance but more number of putts. It will give you excellent statistics on driving distance irons and woods performance, fairway accuracy greens in regulation, scrambling, sand saves, and number of putts which is what matters more than recording that you sunk a 30-footer. It's a very good recording device and app to review rounds is quite well managed.

Remember that this device calculates distance based on ball speed and trajectory (launch angle) through the use of doppler radar. The launch angle is pre-determined by inputting tour club selection (trajectory if loft angle of thr club) so if you typically have a lower or higher ball flight, then this is not very accurate at all. In fact, no one has the same trajectory everytime they hit a ball, so my answer is no...not very accurate. I sold mine and bought a laser. I get much more use out of a laser, especially on the course. True launch monitors, like Trackman, calculate distance using true ball speed, trajectory, and spin. You cannot get feedback like that out of a $200 device. Remember that this device calculates distance based on ball speed and trajectory (launch angle) through the use of doppler radar.

Absolutely, you can point it at pretty much any target and get a distance from where you are. Any hazards or spot on the course you want to get a distance to you can just point and click.

No, to my knowledge it does not give distance to hazards. Nor does it give layout of each hole, but it does give distance to front, middle and back of green for every shot, to all courses I've played so far.

I don't know, but would like to know if that is possible. My backboard arrived broken - only one basket keeps score.

Yes -- think of it as setting a MOB (man overboard). Once you start tracking the MOB, a path is outlined as to where you are relative to the original mark, plus the bearing back (or reciprical) and distance back to the mark. The same is for using a waypoint. Once the waypoint is set, you can go to it using FIND button, click on the waypoint, hit GO and you get the same path shown plus the reciprical bearing and distance.

Yes, I believe you can. I have not actually done this, but have thought about that as well as swinging a golf club. I did try waving my hand quickly past the Glove Radar when first got it, and it registered a reading. If you try it, just need to make sure the bat does not hit the Glove Radar. Of course, I don't know how accurate it would be measuring actual speed. If you are thinking of using this as a reference reading to track improvement or differences between bat speed when varying bats or bat sizes, it might work.

yes, you can mark / create a waypoint on a lake. the accuracy will be based on the accuracy of tracking at that time.

. You can range a tree or nearby object for squirrels or rabbits to get an estimate range but the little critters move around alot. I like to sit in my yard or in the woods and practice estimating ranges, then verify my guess with the simmons. Getting used to estimating range takes a little practice. You can get good at estimating which is usually the only time you have with small game.

No, that is not required. Just as long as you mark your ball where you hit it and where it has landed you will be fine.

Any targets will work. You can just aim at a object on a wall and you can see where your shot hit. those targets are made of a highly reflective material thus easier to see the strike spot in lower light.

just markings. it is a simple, mechanical range finder. look elsewhere if you want an electronic range finder.

Are you asking about front, middle and back or how do you see how far your drive or iron shot was? Once GPS shows course it should automaticaly show the front, middle and back. To check distance for driver or iron shots, push the small button at bottom of GPS to left where says set, then hit whatever and go to the ball. It should give you that distance. Hope this helped, I love mine.
