Bushnell Pro X2 Laser Rangefinder Review - Our verdict on the latest cutting-edge laser from Bushnell with Slope Switch technology
Bushnell Pro X2 Laser Rangefinder Review
Aimed at The newest premium Bushnell laser is aimed at those who are happy to shell out for fast and precise accurate distances to specific points on the course.
Key technology Headlining the host of features on the Pro X2 is the innovative Slope-Switch Technology, which allows the user to easily toggle between normal and slope-adjusted distances simply by moving the Pro X2 logo on the side of the device up or down.
A rubber armoured metal housing makes the device fully waterproof, whilst it also boasts a range of up to 1,300 yards. PinSeeker with JOLT Technology provides a short, vibrating burst to isolated the target and assure you when the flag has been located from up to 450 yards away.
Dual Display Technology allows users to easily toggle between the bright red display for dim conditions or the crisp black display for brighter days.
Note* A recent change to the rules of golf allowed the use of laser rangefinders with slope capability in competitions, providing the function is disabled.
GM Review
Ease of use The extra weight of the device if anything enhances the stability in the wind, while the distances are displayed almost instantaneously. The textured surface areas make it easy to gain a firm and steady hold while employing the laser and the display makes it easy to pick out the flag.
Features The Vivid Red display makes a big difference on overcast days and the vibrating Jolt provides the piece of mind that you’re seeing the distance you want to see.
If you’re already a laser rangefinder user or are thinking about switching from a GPS device, the Pro X2 won’t disappoint. Flags are picked out from the background with a minimum of fuss but it’s also a useful companion off the tee when measuring banks of bunkers or trees beyond the fairway.
Being able to switch to slope distances with the flick of a button is a great option to have, although the button was moved a little too easily at times.
