For me, the best golf GPS devices, and any golf technology for that matter, needs to enhance your playing experience and add a tangible benefit to time on the golf course. Too often I’ve found over complicated, over dressed pieces of technology getting in the way of the golf at hand.
The reason I mention this is the list of features that come with Voice Caddies new T11 Pro GPS watch perhaps border on the side of distraction, due to the sheer number. One look at the spec sheet, and you’ll see why my fears were triggered. Yardages, wind direction and speed confirmation, automatic green slope calculation, practice tempo mode, shot and putt tracking, green undulation data, full hole mapping, pin placement, course and green zoom, putt view for elevation and club recommendations. This isn’t even the full list. For some, this might be the dream golf watch teeming with every possible feature and, for some, an overwhelming mess. In this review, I’m going to break down the features I found most useful and the ones perhaps Voice Caddie could’ve left on the cutting room floor.
Before I get into the features, I must commend the T11 Pro for how premium the casing and screen look and feel. The screen in particular, which uses OLED technology, is a stand out feature versus its competition. It’s incredibly bright, the graphics are the clear and the touchscreen is perfectly responsive. It has to be one of the best touchscreens on any GPS golf watch currently on sale.
Sticking with the positives, I’ll start with the features I found worked best and used most often during my many rounds of testing. The first of these was the full hole mapping. I find this an invaluable tool on any golf handheld GPS or GPS watch, especially when playing new or unfamiliar courses. On the T11 Pro, the clear graphics really come into their own with this features as it accurately shows you the shape of the hole, shape and size of hazards as well as an accurate shaping of the green. It leaves you with no doubt of what is in front of you and the ability to touch to specific points for a yardage only adds to its usefulness. Some of the useful features on top of this include wind direction and speed (which is calculated when connected with the Voice Caddie app), a driver distance arc (which you can set at your average driver distance to see what parts of the hole you may be bringing into play) as well as a pin arc, which shows you circles 50 yards and 100 yards away from the pin.
