I wonder if this will have front, middle and back on it.

Hey GV,

 

Are you the same William Flynn GV that’s in Lafayette Hill, PA?

Looks like there’s finally some info on Bushnell’s website. https://www.bushnellgolf.com/pro-x3

Still really hoping they update their hybrid rangefinder.

 

The tech in other rangefinders is really appealing.

I wonder what the price point will be on the X3.

Anyone know if this will have stabilization?

If the older ones did, then this one would. There would be no reason they would get rid of that.

 

A little disappointed that there is no GPS baked into the Pro X3. The only reason I can think of is that there is no way to power the device without using a Li-ion battery. I had the Precision Pro R1 and the battery life was horrible and the need to charge it with the amount I play was just inconvenient.

I'm actually glad they're not doing GPS with this.  I've tested a couple rangefinders with GPS and it's just too much going on.  There's a place for devices like that, but I like the premium laser/offline only device.  The XE is awesome and works anywhere without fiddling/worrying about GPS and battery.

I’ve had Z82 for a few months now and the one thing it does great is get me around an unfamiliar course. The all-in-one in those instances is superior to fumbling between a phone/gps and a laser. But it can be frustrating on a familiar course because the laser is both slow and not great tagging flags and even worse at tagging non flags. The laser’s not completely incompetent but noticeably inferior to dedicated devices. Plus there’s the need to charge it. I’ve yet to forget to charge it but I’m sure that day will come. 

 

I’m still sitting on a Bushnell coupon so, depending on the full feature set reveal of the X3, I considering selling the Z82 and picking up the X3. 
 

Of course, I’d survive just fine if I kept the Z82 because it gets the job done. But I’m lucky enough to be able to complain about the little things and have resources to try and resolve them.

I asked customer service. Not stabilized.

How many of you placed orders for the Pro X3?

I was going to wait for reviews. I have the Z6. Still works really well. I realize it lacks many new features and improvement’s compared to today’s rangefinders. I do like what most have to offer now. I looked through a Nikon Coolshot Pro II that a buddy just got. Very nice optics. Is Bushnell’s XE optics as good? And if so will the optics be even better on the X3?I realize Bushnell has more features but I do like the stabilizer on the Nikon. I will definitely be in the market come spring.  A new model Coolshot by then?

I did. I have a perfectly functioning Pro 1M, but it got some grease or something smudged onto the lense a few years back and even after following their instructions to clean it, there is a bad haze that makes it difficult to us. Looking forward to the upgrade.

Give us a review after a round or at range or whatever please. Hope it’s worth the $$$$.

Will do, plan to give it a decent review along with my Mevo just to compare apples to orange.

I did.  Got a 20% off coupon for filing out a Bushnell survey.

What's the difference between the Pro XE and the Pro X3? The ability to set home course elevation is all I can tell but I'm probably missing something.

Has anyone peered through the optics of both the XE and the Coolshot Pro II Stabilizer?  I have the Coolshot but not XE. Coolshot has incredible optics.

It was a one time use link.  Survey was for the Bushnell launch monitor.

This on Bushnell's site. I'm sure can still be had from online retailers and in brick and mortar's end of the month, but still crazy to see them book out of pre-orders.
