Review on Bushnell Pro Golf Laser Rangefinder by James Gibson

I have a handicap of 14. I use a Garmin golf watch when I play. For years I've said I don't understand why anyone would use a range finder instead of a more convenient watch. My wife gave me this for Christmas. Now I use both! I love this range finder. It's bright, accurate, and the addition of slope and elements (barometric pressure and temperature) is unique and rewarding. Magnification and sharpness are very good. Who needs measurements in the yard? Well, there is and adds plus or minus to slope and elements. As such, it's not uncommon for me to prefer a different club or try to slightly increase the distance from the regular club when the range finder has added 4-6 yards to the actual distance. I'm not a scientist, but this seems to be working as advertised. That being said, if you don't have the money, let's face it, it's a bit much. But it's fun and useful. It's heavy but very strong and has a very strong magnet that stays where you put it. I played with a guy who had Bushnell way easier, no new frills and no magnet. I used it and mine for comparison. It was much lighter and didn't shake when I used it, which was a plus for its model. But I still prefer mine. So if the problem is money, Pro XE is not needed. But if not, it's a fun and great product.
