Sports reviews of Leupold GX-1 Digital Golf Rangefinder

Customer Review: All Out of Excuses For my Game
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars

I am a GPS guy, or at least I have been. I have played with this range finder a couple of times now, and I have to say I really love it. To be fair, the GPS I have been using is the old style, with distances to various targets listed in a table - not graphically. What I love most about this laser range finder is the ability to survey the course and get a feel for what I can expect given various distances to targets and locations that naturally catch my eye. In other words, the ones that I feel confidence in making my targets.
Features:
- beeps when it catches a reflector - either on the top of a flag stick or someones license plate :)
- gives distances to objects as you pan past them
- quick
- turns off automatically
- no course load worries
- gives close up view of course features
- battery lasts much, much longer and can be purchased at the grocery store on the way to the course

Not as good as GPS:
- does not track score
- doesn't tell distance of the hole (dog leg and long par five, so you have to use the score card)
- line of sight targets only, where GPS sees all
- does not help in finding your ball (my GPS will track distance traveled, so I know the 260 yard arc my ball should be on... although I could shoot backwards to the tee box while searching)

With precision optics, proprietary technology that ranges the pin easily (even at extended distances), and a Scan mode available at any time, the Leupold GX-1 digital golf rangefinder sets the pace for line-of-sight measurement. The GX-1 is built around its PinHunter and Prism Lock functions. Every GX-1 golf rangefinder has been precisely calibrated to fire a laser beam at the target in the crosshairs, whether it's a flag, tree, or sand trap. The rangefinder then uses its proprietary beam geometry to gauge the returns from the pin, and its advanced GX software to accurately separate those returns from objects in the background.


The GX-1's PinHunter function lasers precisely on a pin or other target.
There's no better way to determine exactly where a flag or water hazard is located. It's even easier to range a distance pin on courses that utilize prism technology thanks to the GX-1's Prism Lock. Simply hold the top button to scan the area around the pin. The moment the GX-1 identifies a prism-topped flagstick, the rangefinder will beep and the display will freeze. The PinHunter and Prism Lock features combine to make the GX-1 the most accurate golf rangefinder on the market.

The GX-1 also offers both Fog and Scan modes. Unlike most rangefinders--which give measurements from the first target returned, which in some cases is the fog between you and the pin--the GX-1 cuts through the weather to provide fast, accurate measurements to the green. You don't let anything stand between you and the cup, so why should your rangefinder? The Scan mode, meanwhile, delivers multiple readings in one quick sweep. Just hold down the Power button and the display will continuously update with accurate line-of-sight measurements.

Construction and Functionality
Leupold's products are legendary for their durability, with a ruggedly built housing and waterproof body. Fortunately for users, the optical system in the GX-1 is built to the same exacting standards, with precision glass, cutting-edge coating technology, and rugged structural components. The resulting optics are bright and clear, and offer accurate ranging, low glare, scratch resistance, and years of dependable use. In addition, the GX-1 offers an intuitive Quick Set Menu, giving you fast access to all the features of your rangefinder without cluttering the field of view. Best of all, the GX-1 is tournament legal, as it offers line-of-sight measurement only. Need to add precision to your golf game? Look no further than the GX-1.
