The ifrothgolf review
A Frogger-style magnetic rangefinder strap that velcros a magnet puck to your cart bar and another to your rangefinder, so the unit clicks on and off the cart hands-free. Aimed at cart and push-cart golfers who are sick of fishing their rangefinder out of a pocket or bag every shot.
What's great
When it's fresh, it just works. The self-aligning magnet and 3-stage lock genuinely hold on a bumpy cart, and yanking the rangefinder off one-handed becomes second nature within a round. No tools, no drilling, the velcro fits basically any cart bar and most rangefinder bodies, and you can swap the puck onto a push cart or trolley. For the magnet-paranoid: I checked, and the magnet does not mess with the rangefinder's laser or readings, it's only old magnetic-storage gear that cares, so your Bushnell or Nikon is fine.
Worth knowing
It's not forever-kit. The velcro and silicone go brittle and start slipping after a season or two, faster if you're a sweaty, sun-cream-slathered summer golfer, and the magnet's grip slowly weakens, so check it before it dumps your pricey laser in the rough. The honest killer though is human: loads of owners admit they drive off and leave the rangefinder clamped to the cart, which is a great way to donate it to the course. And for what is effectively two straps and a magnet, it's dear.
The verdict
A genuinely handy bit of cart kit that earns its place if you ride or push, just treat it as a 1-2 season consumable, check the grip regularly, and train yourself to grab it before you drive off.
What reviewers say
Reviewers love the convenience and strong hold, calling it a must-have laser accessory. The honest limitation noted is that it needs a steel surface, so it won't stick to aluminium or plastic carts.
