Comparing the new Bushnell Pro XE vs. Pro X2 vs. Tour V4 (Chart Below)
Bushnell just released its newest 2019 rangefinder, the Bushnell Pro XE and is being posited as the successor to the incredible Pro X2 rangefinder which ruled the high-end of golf rangefinders from last year.
With all the hype, we were interested how it compared to both of Bushnell's previous best-selling laser units, the Pro X2, Tour V4 Shift & Tour V4 Standard. Do the new features add up to make the $549.99 price point worth it?
We'll go into the nitty gritty details below, but here's the short of it...
Yes. The Pro XE has huge upgrades from all previous models including Slope with Elements, Visual JOLT & BITE Magnet to name a few.
The Pro XE retains all the premium rangefinder features that made its predecessor so great - Slope Shift technology, PinSeeker with JOLT, 100% waterproof metal armor plating - but adds on new powerful functionality that no previous golf rangefinder unit has ever featured. Here's a quick summary of brand new upgrades that you may not be familiar with:
- Slope with Elements - Bushnell's slope reading now takes into account barometric pressure, elevation, temperature to give the most accurate distance reading available in golf. If you stood on the same hole at 6AM, 12PM and 6PM, your distance readings would most likely be different based on the conditions.
- PinSeeker with Visual JOLT + Ultra-Bright OLED Display - Red OLED makes the distances easy to see, the background is extra bright so you can see exactly what you're shooting plus the Visual JOLT, a red ring around the outside of the viewfinder, accompanies the standard JOLT vibration to leave no doubt that you're locked on.
- Built-In BITE Magnetic Cart Mount - The Pro XE features a powerful magnet built into its casing which enables you to mount the rangefinder (very) securely onto the metal post of your golf cart.
So without further adieu, here's our chart highlighting the differences and similarities between the Bushnell Pro XE, Bushnell Pro X2, Bushnell Tour V4 Shift & Bushnell Tour V4 Standard:
