Rangefinder Question: Precision Pro NX9 vs Blue Tees S3 Max


Recommended Posts

I've got the NX-9 slope and have had great success with it. Precision Pro has great customer service and free batteries for life (on some models). I'm not familiar with Blue Tees.

Thank you for the replies.  I have found a few of both new, used, and refurbished at places like eBay.  Just need to figure out which to buy.

It seems that Blue Tees has much better marketing and information available.  They talk about their 4K optics and 7x zoom a lot.  I cannot find that info on the NX9.

I may have to take a guess if I cannot find anyone that has used the BT or both.

I looked at the Precision Pro but in the end picked one off eBay for $110AUD.
 

The reason was simple. The only thing you can use in competition is distance, so features like slope etc have to be tuned off.

I am definitely not a competition golfer so no worries for me on that lol.  I am still looking around at the Precision Pro NX9, the BlueTees S3, and some used Bushnell v4 slope and v5 shift.  Of course the Bushnell's are either older or more expensive.  Have not been able to use these so its a little bit of a guessing game so that's why I am doing as much research as I can.

I took a look at their website today and couldn't find specific info on the features. I did notice that they have magnetic straps available for purchase - my NX9 comes with an embedded magnet so no need to strap on on.

My main golf partner plays a Blue Tees and I have a precision pro NX7 slope from years back. Generally, we both shoot yardages on par 3s and his Blue Tees is very inconsistent vs my NX7. I'm pretty confident with my yardages and feel that there are issues with his Blue Tees. His fluctuate quite a bit from 5-15 yards during our rounds. In my opinion, I'd go with a precision pro.

May just be an issue with his, mine is pretty spot on to my two buddies bushnells at most we are a yard or so and I not a yard or two precise.

Good to know! Build / design wise it hands down goes to Blue Tees IMO.

to be fair, I use a gps app on my phone/ apple watch that also gives me basic numbers. Comes in handy when I can't get on the flag so there are a few numbers avail to me. I'm a 12 hcp and I can't dial my shots to precise yardages so for the few hundred dollars cheaper price point it suffices for me. I like the slope feature as well and my 15yr old Nikon did not have that, if it did I would not have replaced it.
