At THP we believe equipment testing is most valuable when products are placed in the hands of real golfers who represent the community as a whole. Honest feedback from everyday players is the foundation of our testing process. Earlier this year, we tested Vortex Golf Rangefinders and that proved to be an overwhelming success, so we thought why not do it again.
For this latest test, six forum members were randomly selected to receive one of the three Vortex Golf rangefinder models, Blade, Blade Slope or Anarch. They put them through real-world use on the course.
Below, you will find a short quote or thought from each of the six forum members who participated in the test.
The Vortex Blade offers the clearest, most impressive optics I’ve ever looked through in a rangefinder
Vortex Golf Blade
The moment you pick up the Blade, it feels like a premium tool—the size, heft, and grip are in that perfect ‘Goldilocks’ zone. But the real standout is the glass. Vortex’s optical DNA is undeniable here; the view is crisp, color-accurate, and bright. It’s rugged, clear, and feels built for the long haul.

The Vortex Blade offers the clearest, most impressive optics I’ve ever looked through in a rangefinder—premium glass that genuinely elevates the experience and makes it fun to look through.
From the first moment you pick up a Vortex Blade, you feel its rock-solid build. From there, you will notice very quick readings, and incredibly useful Scan Mode, the Blade brings a ton of real value to the course.

Vortex Golf Blade Slope
The Vortex Blade Slope is easy to use and provides crystal clear optics and stunning accuracy from every distance and elevation change possible on a golf course. The haptic feedback from the PinSpotter feature has become my new golf ASMR – second only to the sound of a flushed iron shot.
Vortex manages to bundle it all into a robust outer shell that you probably couldn’t break unless you were trying to…and they back it all with a warranty that places it among the best golf equipment values on the market today.

The image quality impresses instantly, but the stabilization is what ultimately makes it a winner.
It feels solid the moment you pick it up. The weight, durability, and premium feel stands out instantly. Oh, and the VIP warranty means Vortex has your back for life, no matter what.

Vortex Golf Anarch
Compact, rugged rangefinder with excellent optics. Illuminated LEDs for Slope function are a great feature, removes all doubt for golfers in competition matches where using Slope is not permitted.
BigMac –THP Forum member from Arizona
The Vortex Anarch changed my understanding of what a laser rangefinder could be. In a sea of offerings, the Anarch stands out and is the definition of premium. The Anarch boasts the clearest optics I’ve ever experienced, image stabilization that has changed what I now desire in a rangefinder, a robust build, and a industry-leading warranty that allows me to enjoy using the Anarch without worry. The Anarch has met every expectation and raised the bar in a massive way.
