What this tool does and does not use
It reports what makers say about turning slope off.
Slope modes adjust distances for elevation, which the Rules of Golf do not allow in a round. A device with slope can still be used if that function is switched off, and a committee can ban rangefinders entirely by Local Rule. Check with the committee for any event you enter. Of the 21 rangefinders here, 16 have a maker who describes a slope switch or says slope can be switched off, 3 name a “tournament mode” without saying it turns slope off, and 2 makers do not say. Those last two groups come out as a “maybe”.
It does not judge accuracy, speed or the display.
No maker publishes accuracy in a way that compares across brands. Maximum ranges are measured to different targets, and stabilization is not published by any maker here, so neither is asked about. We have the battery type for 19 of 21.
Laser rangefinders only.
GPS watches and handhelds are not included. If you want front, middle and back of green without aiming, a GPS device may suit you better.
