REVIEW: Bushnell Yardage Pro Golf Pinseeker 1500 - Laser Range finder w Slope Calculator - Slope Edition
Overall Score: 5/5
The Bushnell 1500 is the ultimate range finder for golfing. When you are out on the course and trying to determine how far away it is to the pin, there is no better device than this on the market to do so. Additionally, it is the perfect device for determing slope on the golf course or the lay of the golf green out there.Before we go into the review, I just have to say - buy this product. Using it to review it, I have improved my golf game by at least 15%. That is no word of a lie, I am a better golfer today than I was a few weeks ago when I started to use this device. Club selection is no longer a weakness in my golf game, I can now determine how far the pin is within sub yard accuracy. Sub yard, even when the golf green is 400 yards away. This device is superior.

Description
The Bushnell golf Pinseeker 1500 is a laser range finder that is completely digital. It uses infrared pulses so the damn thing won’tblind you. And since it uses such an accurate beacon, the thing is perfectly accurate on the golf course. For all intents and purposes this device has it all out there on the links. It has something called a ASIC chip (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) with a small processor and this allows it to quickly calculate any ranges. The distance to the golf flag !
The optics on this device are amazing, I can see crystal clear through it in any weather (yes, I do golf in adverse weather - im hardcore!). It has 7x the zoom and I have not once had trouble locking on to the flag at a long distance. IT can differentiate between stuff in the foreground. Ie. it can see through trees that are in the way of your shot and still lock onto the pin the background. Additionally, it will not mess up and determine the range of the back ground.
Pros
- improve your golf game, guaranteed
- bullseye targeting modes
- you can set it to ignore the foreground ie. bushes and other obstacles in your field of view
- doesn’t accidentally calculate the backround as the range, it can do the pin
- it can be a great range finder for hunters as well. You can use it to pinpoint the distance of a big buck or turkey for making the shot while you are out hunting.
- so many other things
Cons
- the price is high, but it is worth it. If you can’t afford it, here are budget options available. Check out our review of -Galileo EGS Electronic Range Finding Golf Scope
- No other cons, this device is amazing
If you care about your golf game and improving your accuracy on the fairway, you need to buy this golf electronic. It is the best gadget I have ever had the priveledge to use golfing.
