There are lots of laser rangefinders on the market and for years Bushnell has been a leader of the pack citing that 99% of PGA Tour pros use one.
The new Tour V7 Shift is nicely thought out both for the features and their use. The OLED display shows two colors, and should you need it the last ranged distance returns at the touch of a button. Another feature likely to be popular is the slope compensated yardage in green is the largest number shown with the actual yardage in red slightly smaller.
There’s also the ability to link with a Foresight Sports launch monitor data which will then be able to provide club recommendations instantly.
“With the Tour V7 Shift, we set out to give golfers a display experience that mirrors how they think through a shot,” said Derek Schuman at Bushnell Golf. “Slope First puts the compensated, ‘play as’ distance front and center so players instantly see the number that matters most. It’s a smarter, clearer, and more intuitive way to get yardages, backed by our Tour-trusted Slope Technology and premium optics.”
