Leupold Golf GX-II Laser Rangefinder Reviews, Overview and User Feedback

8.5 / 10

“The Leupold is the only one I believe that you can input your distances by club and it will tell you which club to hit.

I haven’t read of any Bushnell’s that do that.”

Portion of actual Leupold GX-II Rangefinder user review on shottalk.com golf forum

“The Leupold GX-II is unbelievable. Can’t recommend it enough. Point at stick and click. Nice crosshair in the display.

The bells and whistles are cool too. It will suggest a club and adjust for uphill/downhill, how hot or cold it is and what altitude you are playing at.

I am aware about the “illegality” of those adjustments, but most of the golf I play is for fun with buddies who are happy to share the info. I will keep the old Bushnell in case I play in some sort of outside tourney.”

Our Research on Leupold Golf GX-II Laser Rangefinder Suggests:

Besides the user reviews, which were limited in number, the only factor we can base our rating on are the extremely cool features that are included and the reputation of the Leupold optics company, which is steller.

The True Golf Range feature is a great tool for practice: “For example, if you have a lie 150 yards from the pin, but the green falls 6 degrees above your ball, advanced TGR algorithms automatically account for each factor, indicating you should play the shot as if it were 164 yards.”

Verdict:

Based on company reputation and user reviews of their non-golf products, and the advanced and well thought out features, we gave the Leupold Golf GX-II a rating of 8.5/10.

The PinSeeker features four selective targeting modes, to allow you to easily target the flag rather than the objects behind it.

BullsEye – Measures the yardage to the object directly in the cross hairs

Scan – continuously updated yardage readings while you scan the rangefinder.

PinSeeker – Allows easy targeting of the flag while avoiding the possibility of capturing background targets. When more that one object is targeted the closer will be read.

Brush – Ignores foreground objects like leaves or bushes or tree branches.

Bushnell PinSeeker^® Slope Reviews, Overview and User Feedback

8.5 / 10

Actual Customer Feedback:

“ I have only used it a few times and like it, especially the slope feature (I’m not a tournament player), but I must point out that it took me a while to learn to steady it enough to get good readings.“
Portion of Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 Slope user review on Amazon.com

“Surprised my husband with the Pinseeker 1500 for Christmas, we “BOTH” love it!! It is soooo “user friendly” and best of all “visually” user friendly! GREAT for the visually impaired over age “40″ group who depend on the “Walgreen’s” reading glasses! No need for glasses or lenghty instruction books-just aim at the flag and click the button-shows two distances. The actual distance and the distance it should play because of the slope!.“
Portion of actual Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 user review on Amazon.com

“The Pinseeker 1500 is a true golfer’s edge. Easy and quick to use, it gives golfers the distance measurements they need from wherever they happen to be on the course. The correction for elevation can make a big difference, especially on unfamiliar courses.“
Portion of actual Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 user review on Amazon.com

“the Slope edition is a better choice if you don’t play tournaments…it gives you yardage, plus elevation and adjusted yardage. Would be good for a beginner to get the idea of how much a difference downhill or uphill shots are affected.”
Partial Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 user comment on The Sand Trap forum

Our Research on Bushnell PinSeeker® 1500 Slope Edition Suggests:

According to the general consensus of the online golfing community, this rangefinder is a great tool for practice or a beginner, but for anyone wanting to us a rangefinder in tournament play or for building a handicap, it is not a wise choice (Bushnell’s 1500 Tournament is the same without the slope, so it is legal for tournament  and handicap play).

Of the 55 reviews on Amazon, 45 golfers gave the product 5 stars, and 8 others 4 out of 5 stars.

Not legal for tournament or handicap purposes, to be used for practice and casual rounds only.

Verdict:

The Bushnell PinSeeker is a very high quality rangefinder for golf. Make sure that you realize that any scores that you shoot with this rangefinder cannot be used for handicap purposes, and it will not be allowed in any tournament play.
