Precision Pro Titan Elite - 2024 Forum Review

[GolfSpy_APH]

Precision Pro claims their new Titan Elite rangefinder is “the new gold standard in golf rangefinders.” A bold claim for a product competing in a category with premium devices that are proven and function exceptionally well. However, Precision Pro has a few tricks up its sleeve with the Titan Elite that they feel set it apart from the rest.

About The Precision Pro Titan Elite Rangefinder

The Titan Elite features an aluminum shell to enhance its durability without adding too much weight. It also boasts an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, meaning rain or shine, this rangefinder is protected against the elements. The IP67 rating is the highest in its class.

Also included are some of the standard but critical features such as visual target lock with a ripple visual effect and pulse vibration when you lock onto the flag.

However, it is the connection with the Precision Pro app that looks to really set the Titan Elite apart. With the app integration, the rangefinder provides front, center and back-of-green GPS yardages through the reticle with the press of a button. 

Finally, what may be the feature golfers could use the most is “Find My Titan.” Forget your rangefinder? Precision Pro has you covered with its GPS location feature. This will ping the Titan Elite and provide a notification on your phone if you misplace it. 

Please welcome and congratulate our testers!

First, a thank you to Precision Pro and MyGolfSpy for this opportunity!

MDGolfHacker, My Introduction to Golf:

Hello all! A few of you know me but for those that don't, my bio is below!

I know you all want to know how I got into this crazy game called golf! My story began when I was growing up in Maryland. The only sport I played was competitive tennis throughout middle and high school.

Some of my friends golfed, but I never took an interest in the sport at all. When tournaments were shown on TV, I never wanted to watch it and viewed the sport as boring.

Fast forward quite a few years. I no longer actively played tennis as my job was taking up a lot of time. My wife, wanted to find a sport we both could do as a couple. Her brother was into golfing and suggested we take it up. I resisted as I had zero interest in the sport. I didn't have golf clubs, didn't know how to hold a club; didn't see the challenge of hitting a little white ball down the fairway, onto a green and into a hole. Regardless, I was dragged to the Willow Springs Golf Course in Maryland that fateful summer afternoon. 

I had to rent a mishmash of lefty clubs, given a quick lesson by brother in law on how to hold the club and was told to swing away.

Standing on that elevated first tee, I took the first swing. A swing and a miss!

I was given a mulligan (didn't know what that was at the time) and made contact on my second swing; that went high, straight and far. That one shot is what hooked me on the game! It didn't matter that I hacked my way around the course the rest of the day (I lost count of the number of swings I had taken). What mattered that day was my love of golf and extreme interest in the game was born.

I started to watch the Golf Channel 24/7, and picked up a starter set from Dicks Sporting Goods. I started to practice every day at the local range. I should have taken lessons right at the beginning, but I didn't know better. I started trying to get out every weekend to golf.

My handicap started from the high 20's to the mid-teens and finally dropped down to a low of 6.8.

I became a club junkie, attending every demo day every week of every month. I purchased several iron sets, drivers and putters. 

 It was a great time of my life as I golfed twice a week or more. I loved the comradery the game has brought to me, the deep history that I have learned to appreciate and the challenge of repeating something as simple as a putter swing. I have really enjoyed being out on the course during the sunniest of days to the windiest and wettest of storms. Those that know me will say that I try and keep things light and fun, but with an eye to shoot as low a score as possible.

Since then I got married, had several job changes and had two children. I had to step back from the game a little to devote my efforts to my growing family. As a result, my golfing tricked to maybe once a month if I was lucky and my handicapped shot up.

Now to the present - the kids are a older and I am once again working on my game to bring my handicap down to single digits.

I was one of the original MGS testers of the Precision Pro NX-7 Pro: https://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/19430-official-forum-member-review-precision-pro-nx7-laser-rangefinder/?do=findComment&comment=283085

and I have been using it ever since that test.  I found it to be accurate and fairly quick.  The one feature that I did wish it had was an ability to give me front back and center yardages so I knew how much room I had to work with on approach shots.

I supplemented the NX-7 Pro with a variety of GPS devices, the last of which was the SkyCaddie LX-5 Watch (review here): https://forum.mygolfspy.com/topic/39692-2020-official-member-review-skycaddie-lx5-watch/?do=findComment&comment=660029

While it was great to have all the bases covered with multiple devices, I wished there was a device that did it all!  Cue the Precision Pro Titan Elite Rangefinder!

It will be interesting to see if the Titan Elite will be able to truly replace the multiple devices I use!

A few questions that I am hoping to answer with the Titan Elite in hand:

• How does it compare to the OG NX-7 PRO with slope?
• Is it faster than the NX-7 PRO?
• How do the distance and slope measurements compare?
• Optics comparison - clearer than the previous generation?
• How is the setup and integration with the application? Ease of use with the app?
• Ergonomics?
• Aesthetics - pictures are one thing but how does it look and feel in real life?
• Does it actually do what it states it does?
• IP67 - this really intrigued me and I will put this to the test. Will it survive a basic IP67 torture test?

Hello my fellow brethren,

I would like to thank MyGolfSpy and Precision Pro for selecting me for this opportunity.

 

Allow me to introduce myself. I am a husband, father, and obsessed golfer. If I am not coaching a sport, I can be found at my local golf range or course. To ensure I have the funds to survive I am a business executive for a privately held manufacturing company based out of Cincinnati, OH. My expertise is metrology and quality statistics which I think will come in handy for this.

My obsessions with golf started during the pandemic when I was looking for something to do. I have always had a set of clubs, but I never played more than 4-5 times annually until 2020. In 2020 I bought new clubs, took a few lessons, and over the span of about 6-months I played roughly 60-times. I went from shooting 100-110 to consistently shooting 90-95 that year. In 2021 I did not get much golf in due to my career but jumped right back into it in 2022 playing over 70 rounds and finally breaking 90. 2023 & 2024 led me to purchase new clubs again, and now I am consistently shooting in the 80s with having had a few chances to break 80. I am a creature of habit and tend to frequent Majestic Springs Golf Course in Clarksville, OH more times than not for my rounds.

I am going to approach this testing opportunity based on statistics.

•          I am going to use measurement system analysis to either prove or disprove the accuracy of the tool being trialed.
•    This will be done by doing a Gage R&R and type 1 attribute studies to determine if the tool is repeatable and precise. Correlation analysis will be completed with two other range finders, one being very cheap and the other a more premium brand.
•         I think depending on the study this will either be shipped to another person for trial, or I will keep in my bag.
•         I really like the idea of an app and GPS that will let me read the flag placement. This is something I have not done before.
•          This is a very unbiased study for me as I did no research on the product and all I know is what has been stated in the trial summary to me.
•          My expectations are low since I work in metrology and know that many brands tend to inflate accuracy and precision to sell their products.

Introduction:

Hi Everyone! My name is Ryan and I'm located out of Massachusetts. I started following golf in the late 90's as a teenager. I had high school friends who played on the team, and we would all play the video games and I would watch tiger on TV. In High School I couldn't afford clubs or the cost to be on the team. Therefore, I didn't start golfing until my early 20's because my work told me it would be a good idea. I was earning next to nothing and I bought the cheapest clubs I could find online (Interfuse Grand Hawk lol), that said they looked like Ping's. This would be back in 2005. A bunch of friends also picked it up and it became a weekend excuse to get out with buddies, smoke some cigars, and slap around a Slazenger ball (again the best I could afford). I loved playing the game and did so almost every Saturday and Sunday that I could afford to for about 5 years. But when I got married and had a kid, Golf took a distant back seat to family, job, and I focused in on my other passion of Fly Fishing. My aunt and her three kids play golf. My two cousins are college women golfers, d3 and d2, and they belong to a wonderful country club out in OH. When my wife saw my cousin play, she said we should get my daughter into Golf and that I should dust off the old clubs and play some more. My daughter is not a fan of group sports, and this was one that has scholarship opportunities. Didn't have to ask me twice. My father in law gave me his old set of Ping i3's 3 years ago, and I took a few lessons with my daughter, and quickly broke 100, which was something I never thought I'd do. The Golf bug got into me, and I started playing more over the last two years, got a new/new to me set of clubs, including fitted irons. I managed to luck into an 89 once last year in November at the local course Maplegate. Granted I got 4 lucky bounces off of the trees that line every hole. My goal is to start breaking 90 consistently (but again finding time to practice has been the challenge). I discovered this forum doing research for clubs, balls, bags, gloves, pull carts, etc. I used to run my own Fly Fishing forum and I love the community and information you can get when you are apart of something like this. 

The craziest part about this whole testing, is no more than a week ago, I put up a question about upgrading my old rangefinder. How fortuitous! I currently use an Amazon special GoGoGo Vpro. In combination with The Grint, GHIN, Golfshot, 18 Birdies, and apple watch (I've been trying them all), I've been trying to decide what is the best for me. The GPS is so convenient, and allows me to plan out my shots around the course. I can quickly look at my wrist and figure out where the front, center and back of the green. BUT using a rangefinder, I found wildly more effective for quickly looking at layup position, exact pin distance (since at a distance it can be hard to determine if the pin is in the back or front), and for an amateur like me that doesn't play tournaments, Slope and adjusted distance to pin for club selection.. 

I'm extremely excited about testing this product because of reading others stories about this company, the online hype, and the features that this particular rangefinder has. If I can take the watch off, and use a rangefinder for all the features, I would appreciate that A LOT more.

My plan to test this is really simple:

1. I'm going to bring it to a few Driving ranges where the distances have already been measured. I want to check for accuracy. I also belong to a local gun range that has a few distance targets and I want to see if I can range those accurately as well.
2. I plan on bringing it every single golf outing including the range. I want to use it a lot to get used to the all features and really understand how to use it. 
3. I want to bring it out in rainy conditions as well. I want to test durability. I walk courses during the week and the weekend is when I use a cart.  
4. VALUE. This is a $399 range finder. My other rangefinder is $79 on sale right now. Does this rangefinder bridge that dollar gap in value? Is there another 17 handicapper out there, or someone else on a budget, that if they spent this amount of money on a rangefinder, would they find it valuable to their game above and beyond the other cheaper options? 
5. Do I feel like this Rangefinder helped my golf game. We are all striving to be better. Did the features, ease of use, accuracy, etc. help me.

Please ask me questions, please challenge my opinions and findings. Please offer suggestions/conditions you would like to see tested. 

Thanks everyone, thanks MGS, Thank you Precision Pro. Looking forward to this and I hope I complete it thoroughly.

Unboxing

I just received this and wanted to give my true first impressions. I apologize if this comes across as wordy, but I really wanted to be able to provide my honest feedback from what I’m experiencing. I’ll try not to bore you with the unnecessary details of the silica packets and the shrink wrap.

The box itself is about the size of the device itself. On the side of the box are the claims; Long-lasting USB-C Rechargeable battery, IP67 Dust & Waterproof rating, Magnetic Grip, Crystal Clear Optics 999 yard range, Aluminum Shell and Premium material, Pulse Vibration and Visual Flag Lock, Slope switch tournament legal, 3-year warranty. On the bottom of the box, it talks about the App (IOS ONLY at this time, it does indicate Android compatibility will be forthcoming), but it talks about GPS Distances, Find my precisionPro, and myslope.

Once you get into the box, you are presented with the case, a small yellow lenswipe, a short charging cable, Case, and inside the case is the device. The case itself is really nice. Hard shell, with a nice fabric, an elastic strap, an aluminum spring loaded clip at the top, and what looks like a nylon sewn in belt loop. The Zipper, has some sort of fabric that cover the zipper teeth. It doesn’t feel like the waterproof material that is on some zipper drybags and coolers that you need to lube up, but it looks like it would keep some debris off the teeth, and maybe even some rain. The case opens up to 45 degrees with two wide elastic straps that keep it from fully opening. The inside isn’t lined or anything, but it does have some sort of soft fabric feel to it.

The device itself feels premium. It has a nice heft to it. The aluminum rubber and plastic all flows really nicely and you can tell that they put forth the effort into the design. The main visual lens looks to have the Anti-reflective coating iridescence to it.  If you have ever worn eyeglasses you may know what I’m talking about. It’s a rainbow effect almost that prevents glare. The top has a slide that has a green color under it to show that the slope feature is on, and when it’s off it slides forward to show all black. The two buttons behind the slope feature has shapes molded into the buttons. A split circle, and a single line. Not much to tell you what the buttons do, but a quick look at the instruction manual, shows that one is a mode, and the other is on/laser button. The aluminum look brushed, and the eye piece is smooth. It has a single line molded in and a the body of the rangefinder has a dot that are lined up. This is clearly for focusing the eyepiece. The eye piece is smooth and it turns smoothly, but I’m curious if this could be an issue if you have sweaty heads as the eye piece is smooth plastic/rubber. Under the eyepiece is a texture rubber door, with what looks like a place to use a finger nail or object to pop it open. When you door, you can see the charging port, Bluetooth button, small light that in really small letters says Charge status, and serial number. The door was a little challenging to get open as I don’t have finger nails but a tee popped it open easily. I like the fact that this door is well fitted and sealed, as it does have that dust proof, waterproof rating.

Overall, this device right out of the package felt premium. I felt like I’m holding a serious piece of carefully thought out technology. The buttons do not rattle and are fitted nicely, and the slide switch moves very easily (I don’t play tournaments, but my cousin who does, her bushnell has a switch that requires some real manipulation to ensure it’s not accidently activated. It could be a big concern if you get disqualified for an accidently switch activation.)

The App

I have to take a moment and discuss the app. It was a quick apple store download, account setup, and probably one of the fasted Bluetooth connections I’ve ever seen. It felt almost instant, in detecting the selected device and it was ready to go. The App is going to be a focus of my review now, because in all honesty, it looks like it has some significant features. I will need to get in front of a trackman so I can get my swing data loaded to use the MySlope feature. I feel like as a high handicapper, the ability for this to help me with adjusted slope from my clubs would be immense. It found my local courses and quickly perusing it, it was giving some great options of club tracking, pre-establishing lay up yardages on each hole, satellite imagery, and more. I use The Grint, but this looked like it had some excellent features that would fit will. I would love to compare and see if I can run this app and the Grint at the same time.

I will also like to say how amazingly easy it was to set up an account and just get it going. I'm tired of clicking through countless screens. This just felt EASY, and QUICK. 

Find my Precision Pro

This feature was one that I had to try. It uses what looks like Google Maps to give the location of where your device is. It correctly found it in the front part of my house, and you can ping the device to make it beep. The Sound was okay inside the house, but I would’ve really liked it to be better. I’m going to test this more on the course outside in normal conditions because I fear that you won’t be able to hear it that well around a tee box.

10/10 for First Impressions. This feels legit, it feels well thought out. The basic silver and black color scheme is just classy. I like the weight, it doesn’t rattle, the buttons feel in the proper location, and it fits my hand very well. The Magnet on the side is on the outside for a righty. If you’re a lefty it’ll be in your palm, but it doesn’t stick out that much.

I am visiting family for the fourth in OH, and I’m looking forward to testing it out on the North and South Course of their private country club. They have a couple of trackman bays, so I’m hoping to get the data to fill out the app as well, and test the device on their range that has pre-measured distances I believe up to 300 yards.

Precision Pro Titan Elite– Official MGS Forum Review by LeftyMatt89

Intro-

First of all, thank you MyGolfSpy and Precision Pro for this opportunity. 

My name is Matt and I live in Summerville, SC. I am married with a four year old, a four month old and a Pomeranian at home. I grew up playing baseball and did not start golfing until after my college baseball career was over in 2014. Golf has been my passion since 2014 because it is extremely challenging but at the same time fulfilling. The strength of my game coming from baseball is my ability to hit the ball far (wish it went a little straighter). My driver SS is 120+ on GC Quad and my 7 iron swing is ~96-100. I golf typically once a week at a minimum, however since welcoming my 2nd child, my scores seem to fluctuate a little more than before but I typically score from high 70’s to mid 80’s is the norm. 

I belong to a local semi-private country club and play 90% of my rounds at this course. I love my home course because it is forgiving off the tee and the primary challenge of the course is the green complexes. This is where distance devices have really helped me in my game. I currently use both a Blue Tees Series 2 Pro range finder and Garmin GPS on my Fenix 6X watch through the round. It is very important not to miss long on the majority of the holes at my course so the back number is super important to consider with shot selection. I am looking forward to testing the technology claims from Precision Pro because the rangefinder sounds like an amazing fit encompassing both devices I currently use into one. 

I know there are so many rangefinders on the market, so I want to give all of you the best possible comparisons I can in testing the features of the Titan Elite and comparing to other products. I plan on showing comparisons of the Blue Tees rangefinder and the Precision Pro Titan Elite on both accuracy, ease of locking on targets, and features. Additionally, I will compare the numbers I get from the Front/Back distances to greens between the Titan Elite and my Garmin GPS watch. It may sound simple, but I am extremely excited for the magnet feature on the Titan Elite because my current rangefinder does not have it. I have high expectations for this product to outperform what I currently use with a lot of the same features I currently use but all in one place. Two features I want to test and provide feedback on to you all is the weather resistant IP67 rating (we get sudden downpours in SC) and the “Find My Titan” feature. I have definitely left a rangefinder behind and been lucky thus far in getting it back. I have always wanted to try a “premium” rangefinder against what I currently use to see if the differences in price is worth the investment. I look forward to providing my insight to this and am happy to answer any questions!

Congrats to the testers and I'm excited to read the opinions. I just picked up a used 2nd gen NX9 Slope and the comparison between it and my cheapie Amazon one is night and day. I'm really excited to not have to shoot the flag 5-8 times to know that I got an accurate distance. Once the price drops down on this one, I may trade mine in for the newer model.
