No claims recorded.
How they differ
Both are Bushnell Golf slope rangefinders with a listed maximum range of 1,300 yards, and both take a 3-volt lithium CR-2 battery. The Pro X3+LINK adds more magnification, a higher water rating and a locking slope switch. Bushnell Golf calls it “the most powerful, precise laser rangefinder to date.”
- Magnification. Bushnell Golf lists 7x for the Pro X3+LINK and 6x for the Tour V7 Shift.
- Display. The Tour V7 Shift has what Bushnell Golf calls an “all-new Dual Color (red and green) OLED Display with Slope-Switch Technology.” Bushnell Golf lists an Enhanced Ultra-Bright Backlight Display for the Pro X3+LINK, and says users can toggle between red and black display settings.
- Water rating. Bushnell Golf lists IPX7 for the Pro X3+LINK and IPX6 for the Tour V7 Shift. In the IP code (IEC 60529), the second digit is the water rating and an X generally means no dust rating is given. IPX7 generally means protection against temporary immersion in water, and IPX6 against powerful water jets. Bushnell Golf also lists a rubber-armored metal housing for the Pro X3+LINK.
- Slope. Both have a slope switch. Bushnell Golf names the Pro X3+LINK’s a Locking Slope-Switch, and lists a Slope with Elements mode that adds temperature and altitude.
Neither page mentions stabilization. Check what each retailer listing includes: the TGW listing we recorded for the Tour V7 Shift is a Patriot Pack bundle with a carrying case, a CR2 battery and a ball marker.
Who each one suits
- The Tour V7 Shift, if you want slope, the same listed maximum range and a red and green OLED display, and do not need 7x magnification or an IPX7 rating.
- The Pro X3+LINK, if you want 7x magnification, an IPX7 rating, a locking slope switch and the Slope with Elements mode.
If you play in competitions, check that you can turn slope off on whichever unit you buy, and check your event’s rules. What the extra money buys in a rangefinder walks through each step up in price.
