2022 bushnell golf rangefinders?


Recommended Posts

I recently heard that they were scheduled to launch some new products this spring but had to delay the launch because of the worldwide chip shortage. Do not know what their current plans are. My Bushnell is just about at the end of its life. Willing to wait until this thing completely craps out but may have to start looking elsewhere over the summer. 
 

What features are you looking for in a new model?

Rumor has it (on another WRX thread) that the new flagship would be called the Pro X3 and that the main feature addition would be wind  impact on the yardage number (my assumption is that you need to have a phone that will pull local weather station data and pipe it to the device). Similar to some other flagship rangefinders.

Yeah a new rangefinder is my biggest gear need for the year and would love to know what's cooking from Bushnell!

Good info!  Hopefully we will find out more info soon.

Man, was really hoping Bushnell would step into the hybrid GPS/Rangefinder world more this year, and come out with a version to compete with the Garmin Z82 and Voice Caddie SL2. Would have loved to seen Bushnell come out with a direct competitor to the SL2 by combining their main rangefinder line with the display on their watch. I want to pull the trigger on an SL2 so badly, but I've dealt with Voice Caddie enough in the past to know customer service is the very bottom of their priority, and as far as keeping their GPS courses up to date, well let's just say I have one course I play that had a few holes re-routed around 2014-2015, and Voice Caddie's GPS system still has the old holes with absolutely zero response from customer service no matter how many times I reach out. 

 

At least I know I could trust Bushnell to keep the info current enough to justify the cost of the device...

I think we will eventually see Bushnell step into the hybrid GPS/Rangefinder soon.  It seems to be where everything is going now.

How much "better" can the XE realistically get? 😄

Probably not much. But I’m in market for a new range finder and have a Bushnell discount code in my pocket. Waiting to see the latest and greatest offerings before buying. I could end up grabbing a V5 after all is said and done but, knowing new products are right around the corner, it’s worth waiting to see all options.

For me as a numbers guy, I want laser AND GPS. The last few years I've had to use Arccos for GPS and then my Bushnell Pro X2 for laser. Having 1 device for it all is what I really want and the rumored Pro X3 will do that.

 

I have a Precision Pro R1 but it isnt as refined as I would have hoped. It has its issues and hopefully the X3 can execute it better.

Instant purchase if it does all of that…

My guess is that with Bushnell acquiring foresight and releasing the Launch Pro, they will look to do something incorporating launch monitor data.

 

Would actually be pretty cool. Could help you select a club based on actual data rather than users plugging in random yardages.

 

If they know your average launch angle, spin, carry distance.....etc, they could compare that with slope/wind/elements to really dial in which club you should hit.

 

Not sure how well it will actually work, but the possibilities are there.
