The Secret to Tour-Level Confidence? You’ll Find It In Bushnell’s Rangefinders

Why do you think tour players perform to such a high level? Yes they are talented and technically robust, but one of the intangible qualities that helps them pull off the great shots time after time is confidence.

We’ll often see players and caddies having long discussions when standing before an upcoming approach shot. This is because there are a near endless number of factors to consider - the lie, wind, slope, altitude, temperature to name just a few. It all leads to a final number, the distance in yards the player wants to land the ball, and knowing all the variables have been accounted for provides the reassurance that the club in hand is the right one.

This is an invaluable feeling for a golfer, something most amateurs who don’t have a professional, experienced caddie by their side are able to experience. Until now.

Bushnell is the undisputed #1 choice for professionals on the PGA Tour and its latest rangefinders, the Tour V7 Shift and the Pro XM, are helping improvement-minded golfers turn guesswork into clinical execution.

They do this through their market-leading accuracy and cutting-edge features. Both the new Pro XM and Tour V7 Shift feature a new Dual-Colour OLED display with Slope First Technology, delivering exceptional brightness and clarity in all lighting conditions. They also have the BITE magnetic mount, provide slope-adjusted yardages and boast PinSeeker with Visual JOLT to confirm you have locked onto the flag rather than the trees behind it.

Your adjusted number pops in high-contrast green, while your line-of-sight distance stays in red. It’s a subtle change that yields a massive psychological benefit: your brain registers the "real" number instantly, allowing you to commit to your club selection faster.

Perhaps its most clever innovation is the LINK-Enabled connectivity to the Foresight Sports MyBag ecosystem. By syncing your stock club yardages provided by your launch monitor with the refreshed Bushnell Golf app, golfers unlock personalised “PlayAs” distances and tailored club recommendations. It also displays club dispersion patterns, so golfers can be smarter with the clubs they pick on crucial shots.

The Pro XM may be smaller in size but it packs an even weightier punch. Designed for the golfer who demands the precision of Bushnell’s flagship Pro series but prefers a more compact, ergonomic form factor, the Pro XM is a masterclass in efficiency.

The standout feature here is Slope with Elements. While standard slope accounts for elevation, the Pro XM factors in temperature and barometric pressure (altitude) to give you the most accurate adjusted yardage ever created.

A 150-yard shot on a cold day at a sea level course plays a lot different to a 150-yard shot high up in the summer sunshine - the Pro XM knows this, and passes the crucial information to the golfer.

Furthermore, the Pro XM introduces rechargeable convenience. No more mid-round scrambles for a CR2 battery; the internal lithium-ion battery ensures you’re always powered up. Wrapped in a rugged, IPX6 waterproof housing, it’s built to withstand the elements it so accurately measures.

In terms of which rangefinder to go for, that comes down to personal preference. You should choose the Tour V7 Shift if you want the best-in-class visual display and personalized club recommendations to help bridge the gap between the range and the course.

But if you are a data purist who wants environmental adjustments and a compact, rechargeable design that fits perfectly in the hand, then the Pro XM is the rangefinder for you.

Either way, with Bushnell’s top-of-the-range rangefinders, you’re in safe hands. The difference between a birdie putt and a greenside bunker often comes down to a single club choice and with the Tour V7 Shift and Pro XM, Bushnell has built a faster way to experience your best golf.
