GolfSpy Barbajo Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 (5) Testers Wanted! Bushnell Tour V4/Tour V4 Slope Laser Rangefinders “How far†isn't a particularly profound question. But when it comes to your approach shot, it's easy to take the technology you use to figure it out for granted. Bushnell bills itself as the “undisputed #1 laser rangefinder in golf,†and if you judge by counting the number of Bushnell's you see hanging from bags at any golf course, it's kind of hard to dispute. Testers Wanted! But are they really the best? We want your help to find out if Bushnell's new Tour V4 is a worthy soldier in the Bushnell lineup. MyGolfSpy is looking for 5 avid and in-season golfers to test out (and keep) the new V4. Three of you will test and review the standard Tour V4 model, and two will do the same with the Tour V4 Slope model. Put these things through your most demanding tests and let's see if they perform. How To Apply: As you know, we take our product testing pretty seriously here at MyGolfSpy, so please read – and follow - these instructions carefully. First – if you haven't already, you must register for the MyGolfSpy Community Forum (click here to sign up). Second – please provide us with your name, home state/province and what, if any, yardage measuring device you use currently. Good luck! And for more info on the Bushnell Tour V4 Rangefinder and other Bushnell products, visit the Bushnell Golf website. 8 What's in the bag: Driver: TSR3; DynaPWR Carbon FW Wood: DynaPWR 3-wood; TSR 2+ Hybrids: PXG Gen4 18-degree Utility Irons: ZX MkII 20* Irons:; 699/699 Pro V2 Combo; D9 Forged; MT86 (coming soon!); VIP 1025 V-Foil MB/CB; Wedges: RTX6 Zipcore Putter: HB Soft Milled 10.5; Newport Special Select; Willamette, BB8; 8802; MATI Monto Ball: Tour B RXS; Z-STAR Diamond; Triad Stat Tracker/GPS Watch: Follow @golfspybarbajo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperDave Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Man, I been skipping reviews. I been waiting to test something I could use and I know I could test well. And here it is. But, like Casey I'm out of season. I'd only play a few times from now till at least March. I do want this one bad though. I currently use the Swing by Swing app on my phone and find it pretty accurate. However, it was once up against a Bushnell last season and we had a difference of at least 20 yards. And he was hitting his shots short. I figured he had damaged his rangefinder at some point or maybe my app was off. So, with all that said, I have to skip this review as well. Stupid Midwest weather. Good luck to all the year round nice weather people. As you are testing, just know I am jealous and you can laugh about it. We're all friends here.

JudgeSmails Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Scott Romines Indiana Currently have a kind of generic brand rangefinder, it works, but not that great (hard to pick up flags). Would love to compare it to a premium model like Bushnell Have a heated range here, w/ many flags and objects (trees, etc..) that I can compare yardages 1 Driver: TR20 10.5* Fairway: Epic Speed 5w Hybrid: Epic 4h 23* Irons: JPX900 Hot Metal 5-GW Wedges: CBX2 52* 56* 60* Putter: M Craft Type V Ball: Tour BXS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxio Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Antonio Florendo Jr Cebu, Philippines I've been using the Bushnell V2 since it first came out. I have really bad depth perception (right eye nearsighted, left eye farsighted). Rangefinders have been a Godsend. I no longer have to pace out short (20-40 yard shots).

Big Canoer Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 John Hansen North Georgia mountains Current using the Tour V2 and love the size and weight but would love to upgrade. Play all year round on a course with lots of uphill and downhill approach shots and tee shots sometimes up to 300 feet down so a slope version would certainly help.

MDGolfHacker Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 MDGolfHacker Maryland Currently use a Bushnell 1500 series laser range finder for the last 8 years. Prior to to that, it was a Nixon that only lasted 2 years. Love the Bushnell, pretty durable (except the ocular piece which came off). Was looking to upgrade this coming year to a slope model to see if the yardages with slope really came into play versus the non-sloped with the manual calculations I did to compensate.

bumpandrun Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Dang, I am a huge advocate for lasers but my course is crap right now and I don't play very often when it's below 50 anyway so not a good time for me. Had a Leupold GX-3i (stolen out of my bag at a driving range) and am using a Callawy (Nikon) RAZR now, plus the guy I play with the most has the Tour V3 which I use when I'm on his side of the cart. The V4 will have to be great to beat the GX-3i (my favorite I have used so far). Can't wait to hear the results as I plan to upgrade from my RAZR this Spring and the Leupolds are just too expensive. I bought my GX-3i on sale before they became popular. After it was stolen I looked to get another one and used ones on ebay were more than I paid for the one I had as they had become so popular. 2016 M1 10.5 Fujikura Pro 60 Stiff Callaway X2Hot 3W Aldila RIP Stiff Callaway X2Hot 19° Matrix Radix S7 Stiff Ping i25 4i-PW KBS Stiff (soft-stepped) Titleist SM7 52 8° F Stiff Titleist SM7 56 8° M Stiff Titleist SM7 60 4° L Stiff Scotty Cameron Newport 2.5 34" Superstroke Flatso 2.0 Golf Pride MCC Plus 4 grips Snell MTB Red (Optic Yellow) Powerbilt TPS Cabretta Tour Glove Callaway RAZR Laser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golfspy_CG2 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Knowing that I can't guarantee I'll get regular rounds in (due to weather) during the testing period, I'll just wish the warmer weather guys good luck with this.
