That is a quite a surprise you won one and got the same issue as what I got as a tester. I talked with Vortex, what you are seeing is from an "uncalibrated" unit and they did send me a replacement for it so yeah, might be best to call or email Vortex and they should ship you a new one as well as a shipping label to return the uncalibrated unit. Sorry to hear that but also CONGRATZ 👍

Saturday, I only had a chance to play one hole before I threw up and had to go back to the Club House. Was not feeling well at all. Ugh. I got a 107.6 and 108 yard using X2 and Anarch. Flag had trees in the back ground, wasn't fluttering I'll test more next week... once I feel better

What spec are your i530s? I really love the extra grooves on my own i530 so they provide extra stopping power especially with the lower launch shots How goes the Srixon perform on those shots compared to your i530s? I think feel wise it's a given the Srixon would rule - single forged vs hollow/foam but I can live with that...

Quick Update: Had three separate instances where I had to reshoot the flag—twice in each case—to confirm yardage. Incident 1: First hole. Shot the flag and got 107 yards. Red flag. Hit my 107-yard shot and ended up on the back of the green. About 50+ ft past the hole. Big green and a lucky drop and stop bounce—I still had a look at a long birdie. Filed it away as a weird one. Incident 2: Hole 6. Laser read 127 yards to the flag. Lowered my Anarch and gave it a visual check—didn’t feel right. Reshot: 72 yards. Blue flag. Had I trusted the first reading, I would've been absolutely CACTUS. Incident 3: Back nine. Similar situation—initial read felt off, had to reshoot until the yardage made sense visually In all three cases, I remember trees behind the flag and barely a breeze—flags weren’t flapping at all. Used the Anarch on every hole and approach, no incident and super fast. Seems to be me, its may be the range between 70 and 130 where I guess I’ve got to be extra cautious when there are trees in the background. Still not quite sure how the Pin Spotter locks onto the flag when it’s just standing still. Anyone know how that works? @Vortex_Golf Next week I will use my Bushnell X2 Pro and the Anarch for every shot and see if I see any difference in the "misreads" between the 2. Both lasers are ACCURATE while I was testing it but lets see this in play for the full Golf round. If I get the same misreads on X2 for the 70 to 130, I'll know it background related on both....

Yeah, it does look amazing. I have a course here I like to get a good green read on - Wilson GC, Griffith Park. Unless you play it a TON, the greens are tricky and FAST, for example #5 Par 4. It's short and its visually deceptively flat-looking. The course has the Griffith mountains so they all slope. I've 3 or 4 putted this green many times. I was contemplating getting a book just for that course alone but I'll see how you WRXers use these books Good stuff guys & CONGRATZ 👍
