Bushnell Tour Z6 JOLT review

The Golf Monthly test team brings you its Bushnell Tour Z6 JOLT review

While you can pick lasers up for half the price of this, it is an outstanding performer. It is compact while also managing to pick up the flag quickly and easily. JOLT technology is a fantastic addition, speeding up the process and offering reassurance that you have found the flag. The shape and feel of the unit is clearly well thought out and the compact design means it fits into small pockets in the golf bag with ease. The red numbers and target show up very clearly and the laser works well even in foggy and very bright conditions.

This ticks pretty much every box in the laser category. The viewfinder is incredibly clear and picks up the flag with ease, even from long distances. JOLT technology is a brilliant addition, giving you reassurance that you have found the closest object to you (usually the flag). The information is displayed almost immediately after pressing the power button. The technology is packed into a compact unit that feels great in the hand. Not that many will need it, but from 125 yards and in distance is displayed to 1/10th of a yard.

The price is considerably higher than other lasers. Some will prefer the feel of the larger units on the market, such as the Tour v3 JOLT.

Key technology: Bushnell Tour Z6 JOLT review

Another laser device that utilises the Bushnell JOLT technology, which means the unit vibrates when you find the closest target. The Tour Z6 model also includes Vivid Display Technology, which makes it easier to pick up the flag in less-than-perfect conditions. It offers 6 x magnification and can pick up distances up to 1,300 yards away and hone in on a flag up to 450 yards away.

Accurate, fast yardages with JOLT for reassurance.

RRP £349.00

What we say...

Technology PinSeeker with JOLT Tech. Accurate to half-a-yard; Vivid Display Tech for all lighting conditions; 6x Mag; Waterproof; weighs 226g.

Related: Best rangefinder

Tested As reviewed in our 2014 Distance Devices Test : Felt comfortable in your hand; the size was more appealing than the X7 Pro. Like the addition of the reassuring JOLT to tell you the flag has been located. Having accuracy to the nearest 0.1 yard seems unnecessary for most amateur golfers. Like the textured surface for extra grip. Love the JOLT function as well as the stylish case. A little boxy in shape, but Bushnell seems to have addressed the ‘stiff button’ issues we experienced last year. Plus the addition of the JOLT function enhances the user experience. Like having the battery meter on display, too.

5 out of 5 Bushnell V6 jolt 14 June 2015

By KGC Captain

Great device. Fits comfortably in your hand, it is very accurate and generally locating the flags come up with consistent readings. The battery appears to be strong, I've had mine for about 9 months and battery still showing that it has plenty power. Case and clip protect it and allow it to be handily clipped to your bag. Would say it is good to have a general idea of the yardage you are expecting to make sure you are not picking up background objects but the jolt feature does help confirm things. Very pleased with mine and it was under £300 when I bought it.

4 out of 5 Worth the extra 13 October 2014

Tried the other laser rangefinders at the store. This one might look boxy but fitted perfectly in my hand. Got a good price on it and took it straight to the course. Easy to use, distance reading very fast, down to 1/10 yard! maybe a little too accurate for my handicap. The jolt technology works well. Useful carry case but slight fiddly to remove rangefinder from it and the replace. You can buy a cartholder for it. Keep looking for reasons to use it. Really pleased with the purchase.

Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt Review

The Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt has been retired. Check out our current recommendations for today's best golf rangefinders. .

'Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt'

This is our Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt review, updated in October of 2017. We updated this review because even though the Tour Z6 Jolt is a few years old, we believe it’s the best rangefinder currently available WITHOUT Slope. On top of that, for the features, the price is reasonable – at the time of this writing, it’s around $329. Bushnell is no longer making the Tour Z6 Jolt, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth considering. It just means the price will likely be going up soon.

Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt User Rating: 4.69 out of 5 ( 234 reviews)

It has 6x magnification that makes acquiring distances easier and also gives you a little better look at the area around your target. The Bushnell Tour V4 only has 5x.
The red VDT display (Vivid Display Technology) makes it easy to read in all lighting conditions.
The Jolt technology causes the unit to vibrate when it’s locked onto the target, increasing user confidence.
The E.S.P. 2 (Extreme. Speed. Precision) technology acquires distance easily and quickly. Accurate to within 1/2 of a yard. Of course, that’s more information than any of us need!
Adjustable diopter.
Waterproof.
2 Year Warranty

Below is a chart of the current competition. There is really only one model rangefinder without Slope that equals the Z6 Jolt in features and that is the Leupold GX-3i 2 . The other models do not have the red numbers on the display. Some are only 5x magnification and are not fully waterproof.

The second table below shows models that match the features of the Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt in the Slope category. Most of these models now can turn OFF the Slope feature making them legal under the USGA local rule permitting distance measuring devices.

GOLF GADGET REVIEW! – Bushnell Tour Z6 Laser Rangefinder

BY Dave Wolfe
Aug 27th 2012
Read all comments

The Final Contender In The Rangefinder Round Up: The Bushnell Tour Z6

( Written by Golfspy_Dave ) Welcome to “Part 3” of the Golfspy Dave “Laser Rangefinder Round-Up” . Our first contestant, the 2012 Bushnell Pro 1M , led off the competition with a strong score of 98/100. Our second entrant is the Callaway RAZR Rangefinder dropped a 100/100 bomb on its competitors. I don’t know about you, but I really don’t like stepping up to the tee right after my playing partner has piped the drive of his life. Perhaps the Bushnell Tour Z6 is a product that thrives on competition. The ball is on the tee for you Mr. Tour Z6, swing away!

Cosmetics and Feel

The Bushnell Tour Z6 continues the attractive color scheme on its Pro 1M relative. The body is a mix of white and black, with red accents in key positions. The majority of the Tour Z6’s body is a comfortable rubber material. Bushnell describes the body as “rubber armored metal housing”. The rubbery composition facilitates a nice interface with your dry or sweaty golf hand. No slip sliding away for this little unit. It feels very sturdy in construction.

I think that the word “little” in the previous sentence speaks to the feature that truly sets the Bushnell Tour Z6 apart from the other laser rangefinders. This is a small unit. Perhaps “compact” is a better marketing term, but I thought that it did actually feel a bit small in my average sized paw. For sake of scale, I wear a cadet M/L glove. The Tour Z6’s overall dimensions were just a bit off for my hand. To be clear, the feel was not uncomfortable in any way, but both of the other lasers in this series just have better ergonomic feel when compared to the Tour Z6. I would rate the feel on the other two lasers as “great” while this one earns a “good”.

Cosmetics & Feel Score: 18/20 Points

Performance

Here are the bushnell tour z6 specs:.

Tour Certified
PinSeeker Technology to zero in on the flag
Up to 1/2 yard accuracy
5 yards-1,300 yards ranging performance (450+ yards to a flag)
Vivid Display Technology (VDT) for all lighting conditions
E.S.P. (Extreme. Speed. Precision.)
6x Magnification (objects appear 6x closer)
Premium lens coatings for superb optical quality
Adjustable diopter setting
Rubber armored metal housing
Posi-Thread™ Battery Door
Waterproof (IPX7) and RainGuard HD lens coating
3-Volt Battery and Premium Carry Case are also included
2 Year Warranty

Ease of Use

All three of the lasers, including the Bushnell Tour Z6 , are very easy to operate. The one button operation of the Tour Z6 works exactly like the other lasers. I like how the mode button on the Tour Z6 is “hidden” on the side of the unit. Look closely at the Bushnell logo if you are having trouble finding the button.

On the Course

The Bushnell Tour Z6 is a quick firing unit. It turns on, lasers target, and reports distance at, well…, the speed of light. With the testing of these three units this summer, I really think that the laser rangefinder technology in general has improved beyond the “wait for data” stage. I noticed this a bit last year when comparing the 2011 lasers to the previous versions. The 2011’s were just faster. With the 2012 lasers, we have reached the point where there is no real need to increase speed. The Tour Z6 gives the golfer all the speed that he or she can handle.

One of the interesting things about the Tour Z6 is that Bushnell was able to design into it the same Vivid Display Technology (VDT) and Extreme. Speed. Precision. (E.S.P.) components present in the much larger Pro 1M unit. The Pro 1M does give you one more “x” in magnification (7x vs. 6x), but for me, that difference in magnification was not really significant. I found the 6x magnification present in the Tour Z6 sufficient to paint any target on the golf course . The Pinseeker technology definitely works as advertised, and the orange-ish VTD display graphics and reticule are easy to see under all light conditions that I ran across on the course. The guts in the Tour Z6 are solid.

My only criticism of the Tour Z6 on the course again comes back to the size of the unit. Ergonomics aside, I did find myself wishing that the firing button was just a touch larger. Not a lot larger, maybe a ¼”. My finger just didn’t track the button quite as easily with this unit as it did the others. Maybe the contours of the button housing could be adjusted slightly to promote better finger interaction. It’s really a minor issue, but when we are looking at rangefinder units that are scoring so close to perfect, even the minor issues need mention. Another interesting thing about the Tour Z6 is that I actually found myself using it two-handed most of the time. I thought that the small size of the unit would really foster one-handed operation, but it was more comfortable and accurate with two.

Performance Score: 58/60

The Bushnell Tour Z6 laser rangefinder lists for $399, but you can find it for a bit less at here . For a laser rangefinder with the features and performance of the Bushnell Tour Z6, I think that this price is competitive, but not quite ideal. This price puts the Tour Z6 above the Callaway RAZR, but below the Bushnell Pro 1M. For me and my hand size, I would spend a bit more to go with the larger Bushnell Pro 1M unit, or a little less and go with the Callaway RAZR.

Value Score: 18/20

One of the things that I have learned from reviewing these three rangefinders this summer is that it is a great time to be in the market for a laser. All three of the units tested are excellent units. I feel like I am comparing BMW’s, Mercedes Benz’s, and Jaguar’s. All are excellent, but the slight differences will lead people to buy one of the different brands. For me, I rank the three lasers true to the review scores:

1st Place: Callaway RAZR

2nd place: bushnell pro 1m, 3rd place: bushnell tour z6.

Perhaps you agree, perhaps you don’t. I would love to drive a Z4, while you prefer a nice SL. Both cars are awesome, but the subtle differences make us like one more than the other. These lasers are all excellent. Go drive them and let me know what you think.

Overall Score: 94/100

Looks like a nice rangefinder!

Thomas DiMarco

I need the rubber eye piece cover. How can I get one.

Regret buying mine. Button is small and stiff, almost impossible to operate with one hand, this making it v difficult to aquire target even with 2 hands. The slope version with the jolt seems to have a much softer button.

Distance varies 3-5m even on similar shoots, dunno why. Never experienced more than 1 yard diff with other rangefinders.

I have near perfect eyesight, but when target is clear, number is blurred and vice versa when refocused.

All in all, real let down, V3 was much simpler and better, the 1500 was the best.

12 years ago

I like how you guys are not afraid to do comparisons and give your honest preferences. Too often you read reviews how everything is just “great”. Keep up the good work!

Once again, an excellent review. Thanks for giving us what we need to make our own decisions!!!

Titleist ProV1 Golf Balls

Bushnell Tour Z6

You might assume that the Bushnell Tour Z6 is essentially the same as the prior generation Tour V2 , but if you did, you’d be selling the new device significantly short. The Tour Z6 introduces higher magnification (6x), Bushnell’s new Vivid Display Technology (which is also found on the Bushnell Pro 1M and Bushnell Pro 1M Slope ), faster readings from 5-125 yards with ½ yard accuracy and distances displayed down to 1/10th of a yard, and a waterproof shell. All of this, plus a better-looking design, for a mere $50 over the original price of the Tour V2 . Not too shabby…

The Bushnell Tour Z6 measures distances from 5 to 1,300 yards (900 yards to trees and 450+ yards to flagsticks), and has a wider field of view than the Tour V2 and a number of competing devices – a nice benefit that Bushnell doesn’t really tout in its marketing materials.

The one shortcoming that will stand out to advanced laser rangefinder users is that the Tour Z6 does not have an “automatic scan” mode, a feature that enabled users to hold down the power/firing button, pan across multiple points and instantly receive distances to whatever is targeted (Bushnell seems to have decided to do away with “automatic scan” in 2012’s product offerings). With the Tour Z6’s always-on “PinSeeker” mode, users can only receive updated readings for an extremely brief period of time, and even then only when continuing to pan to sequentially closer targets.

New display with red aiming circle and yardage display
Wide field of view
Can display to 1/10th of a yard at under 125 yards

Limited ability to pan across targets and receive updated distances

Retail price: $399 Availability: Discontinued. Replaced by the Bushnell Tour Z6 JOLT Amazon.com: Check price now Golfsmith: Check price now

EASE OF USE

The Tour Z6 is certainly a sharp-looking device. It is vertically oriented, with the main portion of the body encased in textured black rubber (for easy gripping) and smooth white aluminum trim extending at the front and back. The Tour Z6 weighs 7.9 ounces on its own and 11.6 ounces with the included carry pouch. A swiveling plastic clip on the back of the carry pouch clips the pouch to a bag, and the pouch features both a zipper (to completely stow away the rangefinder) and a magnetic latch (providing less security, but quicker access during play).

The display of the Bushnell Tour Z6 is clear and easy to read, with a slight tint to help reduce glare. The 6x magnification is the standard for rangefinders, but the field of view is the widest among rangefinders in our test. Players need to firmly press the power/firing button to turn the device on, then press the button again to start receiving distance readings. When we say “firmly” press the button, we really mean FIRMLY – the firing button of the Tour Z6 requires more effort to press and continue to keep depressed than any other device we’ve tested – who wants to join us in our class action against Bushnell for carpal tunnel syndrome? We kid, we kid…unless there’s actually a lawyer willing to take on the case.

The Tour Z6 displays the distance below the aiming circle (cross-hairs are displayed around the aiming circle when the laser is being fired), with the battery level indicated to its left. To the right of the distance is a flagstick icon that is part of the PinSeeker indicator – when the device has locked on to a target, a circle will surround the flagstick.

PinSeeker is always on in the latest generation of Bushnell rangefinders. What this means is that there is no longer the “automatic scanning” mode found in prior generation Bushnell devices, which allowed users to hold down the power/firing button, pan across multiple points and instantly receive distances to whatever is targeted. Once the Tour Z6 locks on a target, users can’t pan to a point farther from them and receive an updated distance. This makes it a bit of a pain when you’re trying to determine distances to carry multiple bunkers for a tee shot, or determining bunker faces and flagstick distances when attacking the green. In these cases you need to target a point, wait until a distance is returned, then re-fire, as opposed to simply holding down the fire button and panning across.

The Tour Z6 has an adjustable eyepiece (+/- 2 diopter) that is easy to turn (so easy, in fact, we accidentally twisted the eyepiece on several occasions when either putting the laser back into or removing it from its case).

There are only two buttons on the Tour Z6. The red power/laser button, located on the top of the Bushnell Tour Z6, is used to turn the device on and to fire the laser. The mode button, on the left side of the device (blending so much into the design you may not realize it is a button), allows the user to access the setup menu, from which preferences for brightness (we prefer the top two brightness levels) and unit of distance (yards and meters) can be adjusted. Users can’t change the style of the aiming circle/crosshairs.

The Bushnell Tour Z6 uses a single CR2 3-volt battery that inserts through a twist cap below the viewfinder. Bushnell recommends replacing the battery once every six months.

For more details, check out the Critical Golf comparison of laser rangefinder ease of use .

The Tour Z6 includes Bushnell’s new Vivid Display Technology, which provides display information in red, making it easier to read against dark backgrounds. There are 4 different level of brightness of the display, though we found ourselves only using the two brightest levels regardless of lighting conditions.

As mentioned above, the Bushnell Tour Z6 features just one mode: PinSeeker. Despite its name, PinSeeker mode will lock on to any target, not just flagsticks. PinSeeker mode is designed to identify the closest object within the crosshairs and ignore background targets, such as trees, that may be larger and have stronger signal strength. PinSeeker is pretty tried and true technology for Bushnell, and was excellent at locking in on the appropriate target.

The user can continuously fire the laser for between 4 and 8 seconds, and when the user releases the power/fire button, the distance will continue to be displayed for 8 seconds.

The distance smoothly updates on the display, without any of the annoying blinking found on some competing devices. Bushnell states that at closer than 125 yards, the Tour Z6 has the capability to show distances down to 0.1 yards. We weren’t able to discern a distinct pattern on when the device would get down to that level of granularity. Our experience showed that regardless of whether PinSeeker was activated or not, there were times when the device would display down to 0.1 yards, and times when it wouldn’t. Go figure.

If foul weather can’t keep you from the course, rest assured – the Bushnell Z6 is waterproof and has a rain-guard coating on the lens to help shed the drops.

OBTAINING DISTANCE READINGS

Bushnell claims a range of 5 to 1,000 yards to most objects under optimal conditions, with the ability to lock onto flags at up to 450 yards.

Ease of Locking on a Target:

As with many rangefinders, the Tour Z6 had difficultly picking out pins on the first try in our test. The first distance returned was usually a more reflective object behind the flagstick, such as a wall of trees, but then PinSeeker will kick in (the Tour Z6 continues to update distances while the firing button is held down) and lock in the distance to the flagstick. We found that the best practice is to aim at the flag instead of the stick. Aiming at the base of the flagstick is another way to avoid trees in the background, but PinSeeker may start returning closer objects (such as the ground) rather than the stick itself.

When we aimed at flags, we were able to obtain accurate readings at nearer distances, with the percentage of accurate readings dropping to 60% as we reached 200 yards and farther.

Speed Test: PinSeeker-Only Mode As mentioned, the Tour Z6 only has a PinSeeker mode available. In this mode the Tour Z6 fared well against all other devices, in their panning or PinSeeker mode, in our laser rangefinder speed test .

Check out our laser rangefinder speed test to see how the full details on the Bushnell Tour Z6 stacks up against the competition.

The Bushnell Tour Z6 is priced at a $399, average among retail prices for laser rangefinders without slope adjusted distance capability. In this range it does have direct (and stiff) competition from the Leupold devices (less so the Laser Link Red Hot ) at the same price point. It has the feature set required to go head-to-head with these devices, and we suspect your decision will likely come down to whether you prefer the Bushnell display, always-on PinSeeker mode, and design.

Bushnell Tour Z6 Review

Bushnell tour z6 jolt laser rangefinder review.

Vivid Display Technology improves contrast and clarity of information. The advertised range is from 5 to 1,300 yards with 450 yards to the flag and one-half yard accuracy to the first 125 yards. The unit is also fully waterproof, offers 6x magnification and is legal for tournament use.

JOLT Technology: This updated model comes with the addition of JOLT technology that provides bursts of vibration once the device locks on to a target.
Vivid Display: The display offers red crosshairs that are easier to see as compared to black ones.
Firing Button: The button used to fire the laser can be difficult to engage as it requires a very firm press.
Limited Scanning Mode: The Tour Z6 offers only limited ability to pan across landscapes while receiving updated distance information.

Ease of Use

The Tour Z6 JOLT is vertically-oriented and held within a rubber exterior for easier gripping. The unit weighs 7.9 ounces alone and 11.6 ounces when used with the carrying pouch that is included.

The display is clear and simple to read and features a tint to reduce glare, and it also offers an exceptionally wide field of view. There are two buttons on the device.

The red button on top turns the device on and fires the laser. On the left side of the device is located the mode button that allows the user to access the system menu. In order to engage the power button, it takes much effort and must be firmly pressed.

This is inconvenient as it must be pressed twice in order to receive distance readings. PinSeeker mode is constantly on, preventing the use of automatic scanning found in earlier Bushnell models.

Once the device locks on the user cannot scan to a separate far target and receive an updated distance, making it difficult to determine distances to multiple targets for specific shots.

The Tour Z6 JOLT offers Vivid Display Technology that provides distances in red instead of black, making them easier to read against dark backgrounds.

There are also four varieties of brightness available. PinSeeker mode is used to identify the closest object within the crosshairs while disregarding background objects that may be larger or give off stronger signals, such as trees.

The laser can be fired continuously for 4 to 8 seconds, and when the button is released the distance will continue to be displayed for 8 seconds. The unit is fully waterproof and features a rain-guard coating to assist the lens in avoiding water stains.

The display shows the distance continuously, without blinking like some units. Bushnell claims that at less than 125 yards the unit can show distances down to one-tenth of a yard. In reality the device can do so at some times and fails to do so at others.

Obtaining Readings

The company claims that the Tour Z6 JOLT has a range of 5 to 1,300 yards with the ability to acquire flags at up to 450 yards in prime conditions.

The device actually tends to pick up more reflective targets behind the flagstick until PinSeeker actually kicks in, then the device continues to update the distance as the firing button is held down while locking on to the target.

The best method to avoid the initial problem is aiming at the flag instead of the stick, or aiming at the base of the flagstick. Once the distance exceeds 200 yards the device becomes less and less accurate.

The Tour V6 JOLT can be purchased for nearly $400, making it average for standard laser rangefinders. Luckily, it has the features necessary to compete with many competing models in its class.

Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt Golf Laser Rangefinder Review

Bushnell Tour Z6 Laser Rangefinder with Pinseeker + Jolt

I’ve had a Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt laser rangefinder in the bag for a while now. The Tour Z6 Jolt is a small golf laser rangefinder which has some very nice features, the most useful and obvious is providing yardages to the golfer. Armed with exact yardages to the pin, to the lip of bunkers which need to be carried, to trees, to hazards, the golfer can confidently pick the right club and right swing for the shot.

The key feature of a laser rangefinder is to give the golfer a yardage to the pin. The “Pinseeker” component of the Bushnell Tour Z6 is designed to easily lock onto flagsticks quickly and accurately, delivering that yardage fast and dependably.

The unit is capable of delivering yardages from five to 1,300 yards. Nice to be able to get a yardage to the pin on a 1,300 yard hole for you big hitters.

When the unit is fairly sure it has locked in on a flagstick, it vibrates or produces a “jolt” which gives physical feedback to the user. Thus the “jolt” name.

The numbers, crosshairs, and other on screen display items are shown in a very vibrant glowing red. That glowing red is much easier to read than lasers with black numbers.

The focus adjustable viewfinder magnifies the viewing area by 6x, making the flag or other items the user is shooting very easy to see. Since the focus is adjustable, the viewfinder can be tweaked for those who need prescription glasses or contacts.

The case and housing are very sharp looking. The skeleton of the unit is covered in very tough and durable rubber, which is also waterproof. Great for those rounds in Scotland, Florida, or the northwest USA.

On The Course

I like the small footprint of this particular laser. It easily fits in pockets on the golf bag. It is not heavy or cumbersome. The included case hangs nicely on a towel loop or other place on the bag for easy access.

For the most part the yardages are acquired quickly and accurately. The jolt feature is a nice addition, giving confidence that the unit is locked in on the flagstick and not the trees behind the green.

I really dig the red display characters and crosshairs. They look so much better than the standard black/gray LCD type display characters. The numbers are easy to read.

I wear prescription glasses on the course. Because of how they are working, I need an adjustable diopter to do a custom focus for my eyes. That way I don’t have to take off my glasses to see what’s in the laser’s display area. The adjustment works great and saves me the inconvenience of having to remove my glasses to use the unit.

Above I mentioned that “for the most part” the yardages are quick and accurate. I have found on occasion that the yardages can sometimes vary by as much as two yards. One time I may shoot a pin at 150 and the next two confirmation shots could be 151 or 149. I’m not necessarily good enough to worry about the difference between 149 to 151, but it may bring into question whether or not the yardage is accurate.

I typically prefer lasers over golf GPS units. The only time a GPS is better is when hitting over trees or objects which block the laser’s line of sight, which is not often.

New drivers can cost $500 and up. But they can’t help you with as much of your game as knowing exact yardages to the pin and all sorts of other targets on the course. The roughly $400 investment for this unit is steep, but will be used far more times in a golf round than 14, the typical number of times a driver is hit.

The Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt is a solid golf laser rangefinder and it is my new gamer. I love the feel of the unit in both tactile terms and the jolt feature. The red display is awesome. I can use it in the rain, which I play plenty of rounds in.

The only thing better than a Scottish caddie is… a Scottish caddie. When I can’t use a Scottish caddie, I use the Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt golf laser rangefinder!

Review: bushnell pro x7 and tour z6 rangefinder shootout.

Pros: E.S.P. 2 and new “JOLT” technologies offer faster, more accurate readings. Bushnell’s brighter screens, made possible with its Vivid Display Technology (VDT), makes it easier to read all the data.

Cons: These will speed up your pace of play, but the Pro X7 ($499, $599 with slope) and Tour Z6 ($399) cost as much as a new high-end driver.

Bottom Line: Bushnell continues to make it easy to justify buying a new rangefinder even if you already have one. The displays are brighter, the readings are faster and JOLT technology, which vibrates when a golfer locks onto a flag, removes doubt from the equation. The new carry cases also look and function better than previous models.

Bushnell has been the No. 1 rangefinder on the PGA Tour for more than 11 years. The Darrell Survey, one of the most respected research firms in golf for more than 75 years, confirmed that Bushnell rangefinders are used by more tour players and caddies than any other brand.

This review covers two of Bushnell’s premium rangefinders for 2014, the larger, more powerful Pro X7 rangefinder as well as the more compact Tour Z6.

The short story with these is that both of the rangefinders have brighter displays that make the numbers pop off the screen in bright red font. Then there’s Bushnell’s cool technology called JOLT, which sends vibrating bursts through the device when it locks on a flagstick. The speed of both units has also gotten a little faster. That might sound trivial, but those seconds add up when you’re checking your yardage 50 times per round.

All of those cool new features come with a price, however. The Pro X7 sells for $499 ($599 if you purchase the slope version, which is not legal for tournament play), and the Tour Z6 sells for $399. After some rounds with them, however, I’m not interested in buying a Bushnell without the Vivid Display Technology (VDT) and JOLT.

As you can see in the table above, after the Tour Z6 golfers step down to the Tour V3 and Medalist models. Saving $100 and losing the better look and feel of the Pro X7 and Tour Z6 might be worth it to golfers looking to save money, but you also lose a little magnification as you step down in price. Like old smart phones, the old Bushnell rangefinder models will function just fine, but they’re not as fast or enjoyable to use as the latest models.

Bushnell Pro X7 ($499 to $599)

The Pro X7 is the most powerful laser rangefinder in the Bushnell family. This larger model is fine if you’re a cart golfer, but it could add some unneeded weight and heft if you’re hoofing it a lot. What is good about this model in a cart is if you place it on the seat between you and you playing partner, it’s heavy enough and has enough grip that it won’t rocket off the seat during a crazy turn. You will probably lose your partner before the Pro X7.

The handling area of the device is easy to grab and comfortable. The 7X zoom is one of my favorite features, and it’s definitely a bonus if you’re trying to zap a pin that is more than 200 yards away. Everything just seems so much closer with 7X optics.

The Pro X7 also has incredible ranging capability, from 5 to 550 yards for a flagstick. The PinSeeker with JOLT Technology is new for Bushnell’s flagship model, and along with the company’s E.S.P. 2 (Extreme Speed Precision) technology allows for lightning fast readings that are accurate up to 0.5 yards.

The Pro X7 Slope has all of the features of the Pro X7 plus a slope function that provides compensated distances for elevation changes. Be aware, however, that the Pro X7 is not legal for tournament play.

Bushnell Tour Z6 ($399)

The Tour Z6 is considerably smaller and lighter than the Pro X7, making it easy to use with one hand. Even with its smaller size, it almost has all the bells and whistles as its big brother. That’s why I call it the “players version.” And for walkers, the Tour Z6 can easily be clipped on to a stand bag with its cool grey and red case for easy access.

[youtube id=”tJC4FdlL7tQ?list=UUY6F_zF-zloprXeahcqOCvA” width=”620″ height=”360″]

Like to Pro X7, the Tour Z6 has JOLT Technology that provides the golfer with short vibrating bursts to reinforce that the laser has locked on the flag. How many times have you had to check your yardages two or three times to make sure you’re getting the yardage to the flag, not the trees behind the green? When you feel the vibrating pulses from JOLT, you’ll know you won’t need to laser the flag again.

The Tour Z6 also offers the super quick readings of the Pro X7 thanks to E.S.P. 2, as well as the super bright VDT display. While it’s also accurate to 0.5 yards, it has a 6X zoom and a range of 450 yards, making it slightly less powerful than the Pro X7.

5 yards-1,300 yards ranging performance (450+ yards to a flag)

The Takeaway

If you’re in the market for a new premium rangefinder, the Pro X7 and Tour Z6 are a good place to start. Size and weight will likely be the biggest consideration, but if cost is a concern golfers can’t go wrong with the smaller, lighter and $100-cheaper Tour Z6.

The Tour Z6, however, is not available in a slope version, which could be a selling point for the $599 Pro X7 Slope. That’s a lot to spend on a non-essential golf item, but what’s more important than accurate data in golf, a game of inches? For golfers who travel from course to course for tournaments, nothing is more powerful than figuring out how much uphill or downhill a shot might play in a practice round, even if you can’t use the device in a tournament.

I just called these rangefinders nonessential, but after you play with them for a few rounds you’ll be wondering why you ever played without them, even if you’re just upgrading to a new model like me. The speed, accuracy and brightness of their displays, paired with the instant feedback of JOLT, makes the Pro X7 and Tour Z6 two rangefinders that any golfer will be proud to own.

Amazing article i like it thanks for sharing it .

Aug 22, 2016 at 11:19 am

Having tried both (and a ton of other rangefinders), I’m a huge fan of the X7 despite the size. Performance is outstanding and since I usually used two hands to stabilize smaller rangefinders, the bigger, heavier unit just makes it easier to shoot. Doesn’t hurt that it has crazy range, either.

thank for the review and the informations.

Mar 29, 2016 at 4:49 am

I discovered the watch type of measuring device was not accurate on 4 holes at the club I normally play. Not surprising, these are the holes I constantly came up short on approaches. Previously owned a different type laser range finder and could not hold it steady enough to lock on the flag, hence the watch. This Bushnell is extremely fast. I have been very satisfied with all aspects of the operation. The group I play with are asking me for distances and all of them have their own devices. Thanks.

Mar 23, 2016 at 3:55 am

Very useful information! But I have a question: how many times have you seen guys fumbling with these and slowing down instead of speeding up? Thank you for letting us know!

Apr 22, 2016 at 9:25 am

It’s much quicker than watching a guy walk around the fairway, looking for a marked sprinkler head.

I used Tour V3 Edition Standard for two years, and now I need to have a device with slope to practice with my wife so I decided to choose X7

Aug 6, 2014 at 7:12 pm

Great scopes customer service is 1985 bad. When you need a repair you send it in and eventually the send you a postcard, not an email, a postcard. Telling you the work is done. You then have to call them to make a payment as they don’t have a way to make it on line. After you sit on hold for 30 minutes, you pay and it will take almost 10 days to 2 weeks to get the unit back because when they fix it to when they ship it is 4 days. Great device, but next time I will buy someone elses. I wasn’t able to use it almost all summer.

Nov 20, 2014 at 9:53 pm

USGA Rules say no.

Apr 25, 2014 at 3:07 pm

I personally have used Laser Link Golf products for the last decade. I started with the QuickShot model that reads right to the flag stick (off the prism) and that is all most golfers need. That unit has really made my rounds more enjoyable with faster and more accurate play. I have recently purchased their XL1000 unit which is a very good for the $299 price. This is a magnification unit and a first for Laser Link Golf. The first round with it at Grande Cypress in Orlando produced my friends first hole in one, needles to say he went and purchased on that evening. If I were a first time rangefinder buy I would strongly consider Laser Link Golf rangefinders.

Apr 24, 2014 at 11:32 am

I checked out the z6 but ended up going with the Leupold GX-3i2. Couldn’t be happier. The GX felt better in my hands and I was concerned about battery life on the z6. I like the prisim lock on the Leupold, and don’t find not having the little flag icon for pinseeker an issue. If you use scan mode and sweet across the stick its immediately clear what your yardage is!

Realistically, you probably would do no wrong with either. It also helped I got a great deal on the GX.

Apr 22, 2014 at 3:57 pm

I just bought the Pro X7 and have 4 rounds under the belt. Amazing clarity and precision!

Apr 12, 2014 at 11:46 am

Can I say “Paid Product Endorsement”?! Leupold quality blows this out of the water.

Apr 12, 2014 at 10:44 am

I’m ready to buy my first range finder. I wish this review would have compared all the latest range finders. I can’t find a good article/comparison to save my life. Now I’m just more confused!????

I’m doing a review on Z6 and V3. I’ve let 25 golfers try both. Everyone prefered the V3. It actually performs better in low light.

I was sure the red sight would be better but it’s actually too bright. Even at the lowest setting I could see all the symbols in the display. The image of the course is also darker than in the V3. I’ve owned a GX3i. The red sight in Leupold is superior to Bushnells.

Most testers also prefered the larger size of the V3. It was easier to hold steady while aiming.

But there are downsides to the V3. It has a tendency to “over-jolt”. The Z6 seems to be more reliable when using Jolt. And the Z6 is waterproof, V3 is not.

V3 performs better in low light because of image quality, but is not waterproof. The red sight in Z6 isn’t perfect but it is waterproof and Jolt seems to be more reliable. A combination of both would be perfect.

The X7 is a completely meaningless. I turned down an opportunity to test it for a longer period of time. Overpriced and overspeced for normal people. Maybe cyborgs can use it? Cyborgs with big hands……..

Apr 11, 2014 at 12:36 pm

Dont buy this crap. Saved yourself for buying this crap. Do your self a favor and buy a leopold. Its a way better ranger that for sure.

Apr 11, 2014 at 12:41 pm

They wont compare this to a leupold cuz they dont wanna look silly. I have had all the rangers and this site for some reason only favors the crap bush product. I cant figure out why? Leupold is a way better product. This is not a review Its a sham. It really makes me question weather or not WRX is legitimate.

Apr 11, 2014 at 5:05 pm

I agree here. Early last year I likely would have bought the Bushnell but hesitated. Now I have the latest Leopold GX-4i² and more than pleased with it. It does not get any better. Top button is easy to press mot like the tour Z6

Apr 11, 2014 at 12:20 pm

I would have like to have seen a comparison between these models and their previous version.

Apr 11, 2014 at 10:50 am

This hardly seems like a review. It read like an ad being passed off as a review. I’m sure the products are good, but why go about giving a 5-star review without comparing them against a competitor? If you aren’t reviewing this against a Leupold, what’s the point? Which is better, the Z6 or the GX-3i? Why or why not? Which acquires faster, and which was more accurate? You brought up pace… how many times have you seen guys fumbling with these and slowing down instead of speeding up?

Sorry, I could have gone to Bushnell.com if I wanted propaganda.

Apr 11, 2014 at 12:42 pm

Apr 11, 2014 at 12:50 pm

Yep, you nailed it. This isn’t a review. It’s an advertisement.

I’ve got an older Bushnell and love it, but cannot imagine why I would step up to a new one and certainly not at that price.

“Ooooooh. I can laser something a mile away.” “Ooooooh. This one is accurate to 18 inches, not just 36 inches. Like I’m that accurate on a 30 foot putt, never mind a 170 yard approach shot.”

LorenRobertsFan

Apr 11, 2014 at 10:48 am

I think the Tour V3 does just as good a job as these at a lower price. Do you really need a mile of ranging performance or yardages half a yard more accurate?

Zak Kozuchowski

Apr 11, 2014 at 2:23 pm

It’s not so much about the range as it is the brightness of the display, the confidence the JOLT technology creates and the ease of use. We’ll be reviewing the Leupold products at a later date.

Insider photos from Tiger Woods’ launch event for his new “Sun Day Red” apparel line

On Monday evening, inside the swanky, second-story “Coach House” event center in the Palisades Village, just minutes down the road from the 2024 Genesis Invitational at Riviera Country Club, Tiger Woods and TaylorMade officially announced their new apparel/footwear/accessory line, called “Sun Day Red.”

The Sun Day Red website officially launched on Monday night during the event, and the products are set to go on sale starting May 1.

The “Sun Day Red,” or “SDR” name will be self-explanatory for most golf fans, since he’s been wearing a victory-red shirt on Sunday’s for his entire professional career, but Woods explained the meaning of Sun Day Red at the launch event:

“It started with mom. Mom thought – being a Capricorn – that my power color was red, so I wore red as a junior golfer and I won some tournaments. Lo and behold, I go to a university that is red; Stanford is red. We wore red on the final day of every single tournament, and then every single tournament I’ve played as a professional I’ve worn red. It’s just become synonymous with me.”

The Sunday Red outfit has worked to perfection for his 82 PGA Tour victories, including 15 majors, so why not make an entire apparel line based on the career-long superstition?

As I learned at Monday’s launch event, the new Sun Day Red line includes much more than just clothing. To go along with a slew of different golf shirt designs and colorways, there were also windbreakers, hoodies, shoes, hats, headcovers, ball markers and gloves on display.

The upscale event was hosted by sports media personality Erin Andrews, with special guests David Abeles (CEO of TaylorMade) and Tiger Woods himself.

As explained by Abeles, the Sun Day Red brand is an independently-run business under the TaylorMade umbrella, and is based in San Clemente, California (rather than Carlsbad, where TaylorMade headquarters is located), and it’s run by a newly-formed, independent group. Brad Blackinship, formerly of Quiksilver and RVCA, is the appointed president of the new brand.

As for the logo itself, obviously, it’s made to look like a Tiger (the animal), and is comprised of 15 tiger stripes, which correspond with Woods’ 15 major championships. While the logo may need a 16th stripe if Woods adds a major trophy to his collection, it makes perfect sense for the time being.

The golf/lifestyle line is meant to combine premium precision and athletic comfort, while still having plenty of wearability and style off the course. Like Woods said on stage at the event, he wants to be able to go right from the course to dinner wearing Sun Day Red, and that was exactly the aesthetic on display at the event on Monday.

Following the official announcement from Woods and Abeles, they revealed multiple pieces of clothing, accessories and footwear for the event-goers to ogle (and photograph). Check out a selection of product/event photos below, or head over to our @GolfWRX Instagram page for video coverage…OR, head into our GolfWRX Forums for even more photos and member discussion.

GolfWRX Spotlight: Motocaddy M7 Remote and M5 GPS DHC electric cart review

I have been thinking about electric golf push carts, or trollies, ever since I started playing in my league seven years ago.

Motocaddy has been making high-quality electric, and non-electric, carts since 2004 and has a couple of great options for the golfer who loves to walk. Motocaddy was nice enough to get their M7 Remote and M5 GPS DHC in my hands to try out on the course for a few weeks.

I have had a lot of people stop me to ask about the carts, and the one thing I keep telling them is that these carts are just flat out fun to use on the course.

Motocaddy M7 Remote

The M7 Remote was very easy to get set up right out of the box. All you have to do is charge the battery, install the wheels, and you are pretty much ready to go. The M7 folds up pretty small, just a little larger than the 3-wheel pushcart that I had been using for years. Getting it to the course should be no problem with just about any trunk space. Now, the one downside to an electric cart is the weight when moving it around, and both carts come in at around 35 pounds each. Even with that extra weight, I didn’t have much trouble lifting them in and out of the back of a pickup.

The M7 unfolds quickly with the flick of two levers and extends the front wheels automatically. Once unfolded, you drop in the battery, plug it in, and secure your bag. If you own a Motocaddy bag, they have developed a really nice system called EasiLock that involves two metal studs that fit into the bottom of the cart. This system also includes a molded base that prevents the bag from rotating at all, even on the roughest terrain. You can still use the M7 with almost any other golf bag as it includes elastic straps that wrap around the top and bottom of the bag.

As soon as you plug in the battery the LCD screen comes to life and you are ready to go. You can use the M7 without the remote by using the dial on the handle to control the starting, stopping, and speed. But the M7 has a remote that is activated by a simple press of the power button to get going. The remote is very simple with just five buttons to control where the M7 goes.

Getting a feel for the M7 takes no time at all and by the time you drive it from your car to the 1st tee you will be in complete, and confident, control of the cart. You simply press the “+” button to start moving forward and the cart takes off gently without any rattling of your clubs, and you can press that same button again to increase the speed. The cart will go from a slow crawl, for bumpy or tight areas, too, as fast as I could run with just a few presses of the button. The big red “stop” button in the center stops the cart immediately, and when stopped it is locked in place, even on steep hills. You don’t have to worry about remembering to set the brakes or anything because it is done automatically.

Steering is just as easy: simply press the right or left button to turn the cart. Small, quick presses will just slightly adjust the cart as it moves down the fairway while a long hold of the button can make it turn on a dime to the right or left.

Almost everyone asked me how stable the cart was and if it would tip over. I can proudly say that it has stayed upright even on some unseen bumps at maximum speed. Side hills, ruts, and even curbs are handled with ease with the help of the small rear wheel.

I really enjoy strolling down the fairway with nothing but the M7’s remote in my hand — it just makes golfing more fun!

Motocaddy M5 GPS DHC

After using the M7 and its fancy remote, I was a little nervous that I wouldn’t like not having it. But to be honest the M5 was just as fun to use, but for a different reason.

As the name suggests, the M5 has a built-in GPS with 40,000 courses preloaded into it. The screen is a good size, pretty responsive to the touch, and easy to read in direct sunlight. Having the GPS directly on the cart is great, you drive up to your ball and immediately have yardage to the front, back, and center of the green as well as bunkers and hazards. You can easily toggle between screens on the GPS and it offers a couple of different views to help navigate the hole. The M5 can also keep score and let you know shot distances right on the screen. Motocaddy even includes nice little touches like a screen protecter kit to ensure durability.

Driving the M5 is just as easy as the M7 with using the dial on the handle. And speaking of the handle, the grips have a great tacky rubber that grips well even in hot and humid conditions. To start the M5 you just press the dial down and the cart will gently start down the fairway. You can turn the dial to increase or decrease the speed — I found between 5-6 to be the most comfortable for me. But the speed can go up to a very fast pace if you are looking to set a record for fastest round of the day.

As you walk down the fairway, or rough, stopping the cart is as simple as pressing he dial again. When stopped the M5 engages a parking brake automatically so you don’t have to worry about it running down a hill without your approval. The M5 has tons of power to go up just about any hill and the Down Hill Control (DHC) keeps the speed consistent even when going down a steep decent.

Since the M5 has so much power, and it is a little heavy, I thought steering would be a little bit of a challenge. It wasn’t, at all. Guiding the M5 took very little effort and slight adjustments going down the fairway were very easy. Really tight turns took a slight bit more effort as the torque can want to go forward a little more than turn. Again, once you get the M5 from the car to the first tee, you will be a master at driving it.

Overall, Motocaddy has created two great carts that provide additional enjoyment to walking your favorite 9 or 18. Having the ability to walk without carrying or pushing your bag, clubs, and whatever else goes with you. I like them so much that it is going to be hard to get the M7’s remote out of my hands when I go play!

GolfWRX Spotlight: Crossrope weighted jump rope & app

An 18-hole round of golf averages out to just under five miles of walking, which on its own is a good workout. Once you throw in some potential uphill trekking you get some serious cardio too, but if you all looking for a quick workout between rounds of golf look no further than Crossrope.

Crossrope – The details

Crossrope is a system of the weighted jump rope that allows you to quickly switch the weight of the ropes you are using to boost your workout—they range from 1/4 lbs all the way up to 2 lbs depending on the kit you start out with. There is an accompanying app that helps you go through multiple workout routines and is available free, or you can upgrade to the entire library of workout routines along with more workout tracking options.

This is NOT your middle school jump rope

The handles are heavy duty and feature precision bearings to allow the rope to move smoothly around as you go through a routine. They are also ergonomic and fit into your hand naturally, which making gripping easy, something that is really nice when you’re swinging a 2 lbs coated steel cable around. The handles also come with a fast clip system to make changing cables depending on your selected workout easier too.

The ropes themselves are made from braided steel and are almost impossible to tangle, allowing them to be easily transported and stored when not in use. All in you are getting a premium piece of workout equipment that is effective and easy to store—hard to same the same thing about a treadmill.

When it comes to a workout, skipping rope is one of the most effective cardio workouts you can do, and with Crossrope, you can get both cardio and low impact weight training when using the heaviest ropes, and follow along with the guided workouts.

As someone that hadn’t used a jump rope in over a decade, starting out lighter was a nice way to ease in before moving up, and I was pleasantly surprised how easy and fun some of the workouts in the app were. If you are looking for a fun way to add something to your workouts, or you just want to try something new to get you into golf course walking shape, this could be right up your alley.

Gen 2 Turbo Processor Provides Faster Acquisition
Provides 1/2 Yard Accuracy; 1/10 Precision from 5–125 Yards

The Tour® Z6™ Jolt emits invisible, eye safe, infrared energy pulses. The Tour® Z6™ Jolt Advanced Digital microprocessor and ASIC chip (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) results in instantaneous and accurate readings every time. Sophisticated digital technology instantaneously calculates distances by measuring the time it takes for each pulse to travel from the rangefinder, to the target, and back.

The ranging accuracy of the Tour® Z6™ Jolt is plus or minus one yard / meter under most circumstances. The maximum range of the instrument depends on the reflectivity of the target. The maximum distance for most objects is 1000 yards / 914 meters while for highly reflective objects the maximum is 1300 yards / 1189 meters.

Note: You will get both longer and shorter maximum distances depending on the reflective properties of the particular target and the environmental conditions at the time the distance of an object is being measured. The color, surface finish, size and shape of the target all affect reflectivity and range. The brighter the color, the longer the range. Red is highly reflective, for example, and allows longer ranges than the color black, which is the least reflective color. A shiny finish provides more range than a dull one. A small target is more difficult to range than a larger target. The angle to the target also has an effect. Shooting to a target at a 90 degree angle (where the target surface is perpendicular to the flight path of the emitted energy pulses) provides good range while a steep angle on the other hand, provides limited ranging. In addition, lighting conditions (e.g. the amount of sunlight) will affect the ranging capabilities of the unit. The less light (e.g. overcast skies) the farther the unit's maximum range will be. Conversely, very sunny days will decrease the unit's maximum range.

E.S.P.2™ (Extreme. Speed. Precision. 2nd generation), our advanced second generation ranging technology, provides the fastest, most accurate ranging measurement based on target conditions. The laser analyzes multiple individual measurements to the target and calculates and displays the best possible result. Target variations such as reflectance, shape and color can affect the accuracy of a laser measurement, but E.S.P.2™ automatically assesses the conditions and improves the measurement up to 1/2 Yard Accuracy whenever possible from 5–125 yards. When this occurs, display readout precision will be refined to 1/10th yard.

GETTING STARTED

While looking through the Tour® Z6™ Jolt, depress the power button once to activate the Vivid Display. Place the aiming circle (located in the center of the field of view) upon a target at least 5 yards away, depress and hold the power button down until the range reading is displayed near the bottom of the in-view display. Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the power button. The crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle will disappear once the power button has been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted).

Note: Once activated, the display will remain active and display the last distance measurement for 7 seconds. You can depress the power button again at any time to distance to a new target. As with any laser device, it is not recommended to directly view the emissions for long periods of time with magnified lenses. The maximum time the laser is transmitted (fired) is 7 seconds. To re-fire, press the button down again.

Your Tour® Z6™ Jolt is constructed with a fold-down eyepiece designed for comfort and to exclude extraneous light. The Tour® Z6™ Jolt provides extra-long eye-relief. If you wear glasses, make sure the eyecup is in the down position as this will bring your eye closer the eyepiece lens allowing you to see a full field of view. The Tour® Z6™ Jolt is also equipped with an adjustable eyepiece (+/- 2 Diopter Adjustment) that allows one to focus the VDT™ display relative to the image. Simply rotate the eyepiece until the red display is in focus.

PinSeeker™ Indicator
Aiming Reticle
Battery Life Indicator
Active Laser
Distance Displayed in Yards/Meters

Remove the Posi-Thread™ battery door by lifting the battery door tab and then rotating counter clockwise. Insert a CR2 3-volt lithium battery into the compartment negative end first, then replace the Posi-Thread™ battery door. Note: It is recommended that the battery be replaced at least once every 6 months.

Crosshairs surrounding the aiming circle indicate that the laser is being transmitted. Once a range has been acquired, you can release the power button. The crosshairs surrounding the circle will disappear once the power button has been released (i.e. the laser is no longer being transmitted).

Ever have trouble getting distance to the flag? This advanced mode allows easy acquisition of the flag without inadvertently getting distances to background targets (i.e. trees) that have stronger signal strength.

For ease of use, the device will always be in PinSeeker ™ Mode. To use, align the aiming circle reticle onto the flag that you want distance to. Next, press and hold the POWER button and move the laser slowly over the flag or desired object until a circle surrounds the flag indicator. If the laser beam recognized more than one object (i.e. flag and background trees), distance of the flag will be displayed and a circle will surround the PinSeeker™ indicator informing the user that distance to the flag (i.e. closer object) is being displayed in the VDT™ (as seen below). There may be times when only the laser beam only sees one object in its path. In this case, the distance will be displayed, but because more than one object was not acquired, a circle will not surround the flag indicator.

Tip: While pressing the POWER button, you can move the device slowly from object to object and intentionally force the laser to hit multiple objects to ensure that you are only displaying the closest of the objects recognized by the laser. Once the device has shut off, the unit will always default back to the last mode used.

The advanced patented SLOPE mode is available only on model 201441. This model features a built-in accelerometerbased inclinometer that digitally displays the exact slope angle from -20 to +20 degrees of elevation and is +/- 1.0 degree accurate. The Slope +/-™ mode will automatically compute an angle compensated range based upon distance and slope angle determined by the laser rangefinder and built-in inclinometer. This data is then combined with internal algorithmic formulas dealing with average club use and ball trajectories. The angle compensated range provides direction on how to play the shot (i.e. add distance if an incline, subtract distance if a decline).

Model 201441 only The Tour® Z6™ Jolt Slope +/-™ was especially designed with golfers in mind. The SLOPE mode allows you to display the angle and "Play-As" distance. To activate or deactivate this mode, press the POWER button once to turn the unit ON. Then while looking through the eyepiece, press the MODE button and quickly release.

Vivid Display Technology™ dramatically improves contrast, clarity and light transmission while increasing brightness of the digital readout, making distance readings legible in low light environments. There are four intensity settings to choose from and this is the first setting within the SETUP menu. Press the MODE button for 3 seconds to get into the SETUP menu. The existing brightness setting will be flashing (i.e. BRT1, BRT2, BRT3, or BRT4), pressing the MODE button will toggle between the four brightness settings. "BRT1" is the lowest intensity while "BRT4 " is the brightest. Simply press the MODE button until the desired brightness setting is displayed and select by pressing and releasing the POWER button.

The Tour® Z6™ Jolt can be used to measure distances in yards or meters. The unit of measure indicators are located in the lower right portion of the VDT™. There are two measuring settings to choose from and this is the second setting within the SETUP menu. Look through the eyepiece, depress the "MODE" button ("B" Button on side of device) and hold it down for approximately 3 seconds to get into the SETUP menu. Depressing the MODE button will toggle through the brightness settings. If you are changing from yards to meters, a change in unit of measure will be indicated by the illumination of the M for meter indicator while the Y for Yard indicator is turned off. If you are changing from meters to yards, the opposite will occur. The Tour® Z6™ Jolt will return to the last unit of measure setting used each time the unit is turned on.

The Tour® Z6™ Jolt features PinSeeker™ technology with JOLT, allowing the golfer to easily and quickly "zero" in on the flag without acquiring background targets. The Jolt feature provides a short vibration to indicate when Pinseeker has triggered. This Jolt feature may be disabled in the setup menu. Holding the mode button will put the unit into the setup mode. The Jolt enable/disable is the third option, after the brightness setting and yard/meter selection. Pressing the fire button when the display indicates "JLT on" will enable the Jolt feature. Pressing the fire button when the display indicates "JLT off: will disable the Jolt feature. In the settings mode the mode button toggles between "JLT on" and "JLT off".

Molded into the bottom of the product is a threaded accessory mount that will allow you to attach the following Bushnell® Golf Accessories:

Golf Cart Mount: Attaches the rangefinder to your golf cart for easy access. Quick release clamp attaches to golf cart and can be easily removed afterwards.
Push/Pull Cart Monopod: Steady your hand with this telescoping monopod. Simply attach rangefinder to the monopod and insert into cart umbrella holder.
360R Retractor: Attaches the rangefinder to your golf bag for easy access while walking the course.

Gently blow away any dust or debris on the lenses (or use a soft lens brush). To remove dirt or fingerprints, clean with a soft cotton cloth, rubbing in a circular motion. Use of a coarse cloth or unnecessary rubbing may scratch the lens surface and eventually cause permanent damage. For a more thorough cleaning, photographic lens tissue and photographic-type lens cleaning fluid or isopropyl alcohol may be used. Always apply the fluid to the cleaning cloth – never directly on the lens.

Your Bushnell® laser rangefinder is warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for two years after the date of purchase. In the event of a defect under this warranty, we will, at our option, repair or replace the product, provided that you return the product postage prepaid.

Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt Laser Rangefinder Review

Posted By Jeff Byrnes
Rangefinders Reviews , Reviews

Hi there, and welcome to my review of the Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt Laser Rangefinder. Even though this product is designed with golfers in mind, I’ve found that many such models are still great for hunting purposes. So, I was eager to give the Tour Z6 Jolt a test drive and see how well it would perform on a deer hunt. Here’s what I found out.

The first thing you probably want to know is what you get for your money. In the box, you’ll find the following:

The Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt Laser Rangefinder itself
A premium soft-sided carrying case
A CR-2 lithium battery
User’s Manual
Warranty Card

The best part of the included accessories is definitely the carrying case, because it includes a carabiner attachment loop that allows you to hook the case onto anything you want.

How Far Can The Tour Z6 Jolt Range?

This particular rangefinder can judge distances of up to 1,300 yards, which is probably further than most folks will try hunting from. Bear in mind, that’s just the maximum range for large, highly reflective targets. Your average (or even your not-so-average) deer doesn’t count, so expect it to get your range to target from about 500 yards.

Accuracy is within plus or minus a half yard for up to 125 yards, and is within a yard beyond that. When you’re ranging a target up to 125 yards away, the device provides precision of 1/10 of a yard. With 6X magnification, you’ll be able to get up close and personal with that deer you’re looking to fill your freezer with.

How Easy Is It To Use?

This rangefinder is exceptionally easy to use, simply because there aren’t any extraneous modes to turn on or off. You just press the red power button once to turn the device on, and then press and hold that same button when you want to activate the laser.

This model has fully multicoated optics for an outstanding image with plenty of light, and the 21mm objective lens greatly improves transmittance . Through this rangefinder, you’ll enjoy a generous 393 field of view , which is plenty of space to locate your target and then range it.

Eyeglass wearers, beware, however. The limited 16mm eye relief makes using the rangefinder difficult when wearing spectacles. This model does, however, include a diopter adjustment of plus or minus two diopters .

How is the Rangefinder Powered?

This device, like most of its kin, is powered by a CR-2 lithium battery. Bushnell includes one in the box, but you would be well-advised to buy a spare to carry with you in the field. While the Tour Z6 is great on power consumption, the rarity of these batteries will make things a challenge for you if you try to find one in the rural areas that we hunters tend to frequent.

What Features Does It Include?

While this is definitely a great little rangefinder, it does have some limitations. You won’t find any of the extra features that hunting-designed rangefinders come with, such as different targeting modes. You also won’t find any slope compensation in the range return.

What you will enjoy is the E.S.P.2 technology Bushnell has built into the Tour Z6 Jolt. It allows the device to return your range lightning fast, so you don’t waste any time getting your range to target.

Another great feature is the Vivid Display Technology, which allows the rangefinder to switch between black and red readout colors depending on user preference and lighting conditions.

What’s the Light Gathering Capability Like on the Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt?

Thanks to its large 21mm objective lens and the fully multicoated optics, this rangefinder provides terrific transmittance. You’ll be able to see your target even in low lighting conditions, and the Vivid Display Technology makes the readout a pleasure on the eyes even during twilight hours.

How Are the Optics and Focus on This Rangefinder?

The optics on this model are better than I expected, since they’re fully multicoated in a market that’s dominated by manufacturers that only multicoat their optics. The focus is also superb, snapping your target into a sharp, detailed image within the blink of an eye. This rangefinder, other than the short eye relief, is definitely a pleasure to use.

How Durable Is It?

Bushnell has built this rangefinder to last, with a metal housing that’s encased in rubber armor. It’s shockproof, so you don’t have to worry about short drops damaging the unit. It’s also complete with O-ring sealed lenses and a nitrogen-purged optical chamber, making the device both fogproof and waterproof .

Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt Laser Rangefinder Review Summary

Thanks for reading my review of the Bushnell Tour Z6 Jolt Laser Rangefinder. As long as you don’t wear glasses, this device is almost the perfect little rangefinder for simple use. If you want slope compensation or a long eye relief, however, you should choose a different model.

Hi there! I’m Jeff, an avid outdoorsman and hunter who really likes exploring new technology. I’m especially into hunting optics, which is why I’m writing these reviews! I hope you find my articles helpful in your own shooting and hunting.

[quote name='Aces-6' timestamp='1390486709' post='8515773'] Thank you for the nice review, much appreciated! Did you have an opportunity to play around with the Pro X7? [/quote] Yes. It was very nice but didn't really offer much more than the Z6 jolt. Plus, being substantially larger and more expensive than the Z6, I personally couldn't justify having it. The Z6 jolt also felt more solid,,almost commercial quality if you understand my reference.The Pro x7 just didn't have that "feel" the Z6 has.

I've always preferred the larger size of the 1500/1600/Pro 1M models for some reason. I will be sure to check out the Z6 with Jolt before I buy a new laser in the next month. I'm getting A LOT of conflicting info on availability dates about the new release models from Bushnell. Internet retailer A, claims they should be in stock 1-27-14, retailer B says 2-14-14 and Bushnell claims they won't even have the new models until 2-7-14. Ordinarily, I would always take the OEM's word over the retailers but my confidence in Bushnell CS has been shaken over and over.

Fortunately, I've had no experience with Bushnell cs,,good or bad. I hope it stays that way. FWIW, the Z6 jolt feels very well built and rugged. Hopefully it will last many years.

I ordered my Pro X7 already and they gave me a ship date of 2/14/14.

The Z6 jolt should be in stores by January 31 or sooner according to my info.

[quote name='Lionstar' timestamp='1390486198' post='8515731'] I tried a number of rangefinders at the PGA demo day and at the convention center yesterday. They all have their pluses and minuses, but overall the new Z6 with jolt should become the next standard in rangefinders. It is fast,,very fast. Locks almost instantly and jolts. The red readout display is very clear and the distances accurate to +/- 1/10 a yard for those with that much precision. The previous version of the Z6 had it's activate button level with the top which made it difficult to depress, but the 2014 Z6 jolt has been slightly re-designed to have the button slightly above the surface and is easy to press and activate. It's supposedly water proof and has a heavier more solid feel than the V3 and other rangefinders. I wear a cadet medium glove and the new Z6 jolt fits my hand well,,is slightly larger and feels more ergonomic than the Leupold GX-3i. Overall, for a hundred dollars more than the V3, it's a great rangefinder. I've already placed my order with Brian at Edwin Watts in Orlando. Should be in my hands,,literally in days. [/quote] Thanks for the impressions, Lionstar. Is the button on the Z6 Jolt softer, easier to press than the Z6? Were you able to conduct side-by-side testing with the Leupold GX-4i2/3i2 that has the new Pinhunter 2, hitting flags on an outdoor range? Real-world testing on flags and outdoor lighting should provide prospective customers with an apples-to-apples analysis of the underlying technology and optics performance. After that, it's personal preference on form factor, color, features, warranty, cost, ease of after-market support and service.

Yes, the button on the Z6Jolt is very easy to depress and activate. Bushnell re-designed the activate or shoot button to sit ABOVE the top frame,,not level as last year's model Z6.Yes, I did my testing of the Z6Jolt outdoors at the PGA Merchandise Show demo day at Orange County National. I did compare the Z6Jolt against the V3 but not the "new" Leupold you're asking about. I had just tested the Leupold GX 3 I a few days before and for me, the Z6 jolt just felt easier, faster and more user friendly. I'm not saying anyone should base their purchase of any rangefinder on my experience or preference. I agree that if possible, personal testing of these devices should be the deciding factor. Having owned a Leupold GX 3 I, a Bushnell V3 and a sky caddie there is no doubt that the Z6 jolt is perfect for me,,and I suspect that at $399 ( $100 more than the V3) that those that seek a quality, ergonomic , sturdy rangefinder should seriously consider this one.

[/quote] Good info. And good timing for me. Nothing yet on the Bushnell site on the new Pro Z6 model or any on-line stores I checked. As you have placed the order, am I correct that the $399 is the MSRP, i.e. The same as the current model? (At least US prices- but rangefinder prices seem to be fairly close in Canada, though the recent currency exchange changes will likely likely impact on new stock. ) I'm about to return my unused V3 under 30 day return policy as I didn't realize on ordering that it's just plastic and "rainproof" vs aluminum and "waterproof" for the Tour Z6. Especially for the wet coast. I might just go for the cash refund and wait for the new Pro Z6 Jolt to hit Canuckland if it's just going to be roughly 100 bucks more than I paid for the V3 on sale. Durability for this kind of cash layout is important. The Leupold GX 3i dropped 140 bucks at GolfTown this weekend (version GX 3i 2 is now on Leupold's website) so it's closer to the V3 price I paid, but I think the jolt technology is a better bet for me.

[/quote] Your rationale is the same as mine. Having felt and tested it, the Z6 jolt is in my humble opinion the best overall option for a rangefinder. FWIW, I've had a sky caddie SG5 for about 5 years now and at first I thought $250 or so for it was pricey. I feel I got my money's worth on it but have simply outgrew it,,and at about 75 rounds a year for 5 years it cost less than a dollar per round,,with the exception of the yearly fees sky golf charges. No more charges with the rangefinder. So if it lasts 5 years or longer it's just pennies per round for accurate yardages. Hard to beat that. And BTW, I returned my V3 for store credit also.

Apologies gents. Rangefinder shopping is a new 2014 activity. I didn't realize the Tour Z6 [b]Jolt[/b] was the 2014 version; I misread the post text and thought the new version was [i][b]Pro [/b]Z6 Jolt[/i]. (Actually that is the title of the thread.) Bushnell don't doesn't seem to list past year products like Leupold does to help in model comparison. Anyway I returned my V3 to GolfTown for full refund and am awaiting the newer Jolt version to appear in the stores so I can do my own hands on. (It's on the GT website now @ $399, but on order.) They had no current Z6 in stock, - guess that would have clued me in.

[/quote] Good to hear they made the button easier to press. There are pros and cons to each brand/model. Almost pulled the trigger on the Leupold late last season, but figured I would wait for the product refresh this year. The Bushnell X7 had the right resistance on the button, but the form factor too big and heavy for a carrying bag walker. Plus, the white-red color scheme needs a face-lift especially if you don't own a R11/R12 driver! I preferred the smaller-size Leupold form factor, but didn't like the bluish tint. The acquisition speed was very quick on the Leupold GX4i so if the Z6 Jolt is even faster than the new Leupolds, Bushnell stepped up its game. Will have to wait a few weeks, months to test them in person.

Title of thread corrected,,sorry,,my bad.

How well does it perform in foggy conditions? I'm undecided between the gx3i2 and the z6 jolt. I like the jolt confirmation but I've heard the fog mode on the leupold is excellent.

I would agree with the Pro X7 being flagship, but it will be a big puppy and I think many like me will go for the smaller Z6 Jolt, for size not just price. For the question on Leopold gx3i(squared) in fog vs z6 jolt, I haven't seen any claims on the Bushnell for fog but the prior Leopold makes that claim. I did consider the Leopold for that (as it claims to be for precip too, considering our local climate) but the negatives over Bushnell for pinseeking was the decider. All that said, no one has yet reviewed the very new Jolt other than the OP at the PGA show, (and I haven't seen any hands-on yet GX3i (squared) so I guess just watch GolfWrx and such as a Critical Reviews.

Against my better judgement I bought a GX-4i squared and it's scheduled to be delivered Wednesday. I will be sure to get a review up as soon as possible so others can make an informed buying decision. I really wanted the Pro X7 but they won't be available in time for a pretty important tournament I'm playing in mid Feb.

Haha. Yes, please let us know. I want to see if pin hunter 2 is really an upgrade. Do you think the jolt will have any tweaks to the display? It annoyed me that I could see the outline of the display where the leupold was crystal clear.

The Z6 with Jolt is now available at GolfTown on-line and they advise me the new Leupold GX- 3i2 is expected in a couple of weeks (they could not comment on in-store stock). Price looks to be the same @ $399. Leupold claims battery life > 6k actuations and a supposedly improved "Pinseeker 2". Plus the fog feature (that I gather helps in just plain rain too?- anyone correct me if I'm wrong). I'm now very undecided and will be watching with bated breath for reviews and any in-store stock. Both have 2 year warranties. Service in Canada: GolfTown tells me they deal with warranty issues through the local GT store for the first year. I see Bushnell has a Canadian service location in Canada. I phoned Leupold in Portland and they have a $15 international returned shipment fee within the warranty period plus phone support after. If outside the warranty would offer a reasonable price for upgrade replacement. I know I read about this with Bushnell too. There is another thread going on about the V3 vs GX3i and service and I'll copy this there too.

^^ I'm going out today with my new GX-4i2 and I will report back later this evening on my findings.

Moscow Metro 2019

Will it be easy to find my way in the Moscow Metro? It is a question many visitors ask themselves before hitting the streets of the Russian capital. As metro is the main means of transport in Moscow – fast, reliable and safe – having some skills in using it will help make your visit more successful and smooth. On top of this, it is the most beautiful metro in the world !

. There are over 220 stations and 15 lines in the Moscow Metro. It is open from 6 am to 1 am. Trains come very frequently: during the rush hour you won't wait for more than 90 seconds! Distances between stations are quite long – 1,5 to 2 or even 3 kilometers. Metro runs inside the city borders only. To get to the airport you will need to take an onground train - Aeroexpress.

RATES AND TICKETS

Paper ticket A fee is fixed and does not depend on how far you go. There are tickets for a number of trips: 1, 2 or 60 trips; or for a number of days: 1, 3 days or a month. Your trips are recorded on a paper ticket. Ifyou buy a ticket for several trips you can share it with your traveling partner passing it from one to the other at the turnstile.

On every station there is cashier and machines (you can switch it to English). Cards and cash are accepted. 1 trip - 55 RUB 2 trips - 110 RUB

Tickets for 60 trips and day passes are available only at the cashier's.

60 rides - 1900 RUB

1 day - 230 RUB 3 days - 438 RUB 30 days - 2170 RUB.

The cheapest way to travel is buying Troyka card . It is a plastic card you can top up for any amount at the machine or at the ticket office. With it every trip costs 38 RUB in the metro and 21 RUB in a bus. You can get the card in any ticket office. Be prepared to leave a deposit of 50 RUB. You can get it back returning the card to the cashier.

SamsungPay, ApplePay and PayPass cards.

One turnstile at every station accept PayPass and payments with phones. It has a sticker with the logos and located next to the security's cabin.

GETTING ORIENTED

At the platfrom you will see one of these signs.

It indicates the line you are at now (line 6), shows the direction train run and the final stations. Numbers below there are of those lines you can change from this line.

In trains, stations are announced in Russian and English. In newer trains there are also visual indication of there you are on the line.
