The Bushnell Pro X2 is the best rangefinder in golf.\u00a0 Ability to change the display from black to red and turn slope on and off.<\/p>\n

\"Bushnell<\/p>\n

Introduction<\/p>\n

Over the last few years, it seemed to me that rangefinder improvement had stalled out.\u00a0 Everything was fast and accurate, and the differences were largely matters of preference.\u00a0 Bushnell\u2019s Pro X2 rangefinder breaks that trend with one of the best advancements in years.<\/p>\n

Setup & Ease of Use<\/p>\n

The basic functionality of the Bushnell Pro X2 is the same as every other rangefinder: push the Power button to turn it on, push it again to get your distance.<\/p>\n

The way that Bushnell deploys the more advanced features sets it apart.\u00a0 Turning the slope mode on and off no longer requires scrolling through menus, just flip the switch on the side of the unit.\u00a0 When the words \u201cSlope Edition\u201d are visible, slope is on.\u00a0 Similarly, you can change the display from black to red with one push of the Mode button.<\/p>\n

Holding down the Mode button brings you to the menus, but the options there are pleasantly limited.\u00a0 You can adjust the brightness (a welcome new feature), change from yards to meters, and decide whether you want yardages displayed to the tenth of a yard or not.<\/p>\n

Accuracy & Performance<\/p>\n

As you would expect from a first-tier rangefinder, the Bushnell Pro X2 is fast and accurate.\u00a0 Moving on\u2026<\/p>\n

The major upgrade in the Pro X2 is the ability to toggle the display between black and red.\u00a0 I can\u2019t stress enough what a great feature this is.\u00a0 I\u2019ve been using a laser with a red display for roughly five years, and I like it in most situations, particularly twilight.\u00a0 However, when you\u2019re in a bright setting, black is simply easier to see.\u00a0 The ability to switch with the push of a button puts the Pro X2 a step ahead of the competition.<\/p>\n

Bushnell also did a great job with the size and feel of the Pro X2. \u00a0This is the first Bushnell laser in recent memory that feels rock\u00a0solid in your hand, and the size should be comfortable for all but the most diminutive (or gigantic) hands.<\/p>\n

Finally, Bushnell includes the best rangefinder case. \u00a0I love the dual closure \u2013 use the elastic band during the round for speed, zip it up afterwards for safe keeping. \u00a0Also the netting on the side keeps it from spilling open if you forget to latch it shut.<\/p>\n

Value<\/p>\n

The Bushnell Pro X2 has an MSRP of $500 but can be found for around $450 (support PluggedInGolf, buy it HERE).\u00a0 This puts it at the premium end of the rangefinder market, but the features and ease of use are worth it.<\/p>\n

\"Bushnell<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Bushnell\u00a0Pro X2 rangefinder gets my highest commendation: it\u2019s in the bag. \u00a0From the feel to the speed and the display, Bushnell nailed all the basics. \u00a0On top of that, they added the best new feature in years and made the whole thing unbelievably easy to use.<\/p>\n
