5 As the number one rangefinder in golf with 97 per cent use on the PGA Tour, it’s no surprise that Bushnell have pushed the boundaries even further with their latest offering.
We’ve seen slope technology in some of their previous models but there has still been the issue of not being able to use it in competitions.
Do you really want to pay £300-400 for something that you can only use when practising or playing for fun?

The Tour X solves that problem as it allows you to remove the technology which calculates the slope-adjusted yardage. It’s quick and easy to do and makes you wonder why no one has introduced something like this sooner?
Anyway, we’re getting ahead of ourselves.
Firstly, the Tour X comes in a high-quality protective case which gives the product a premium feel from the outset.

It clips onto the bag easily and looks the business. This gear is not cheap so you want to make sure it stays dry and can withstand getting bashed around a bit.

The size and shape of the Tour X is pretty much the same as the popular Bushnell Tour Z3 – it’s compact and fits in the hand nicely.
I’m not surprised that that is the most popular brand of laser rangefinders on tour” 
We’ve got the nice bright red display which makes it very easy to see the numbers, particularly if there are trees behind the pin but you can also change it to a black display at the flick of a switch.

What really sets the Bushnell laser rangefinders apart for me is the Jolt technology where the device vibrates when you are locked on to the pin.
