The Tour V5 Shift Slim Edition is the next generation of Bushnell Golf’s award winning V5 lasers which continues Bushnell’s tradition of setting new standards in the industry through constant innovation and the incorporation of leading technologies. The V5 shift model is identical other than one added feature which is the SLOPE function. This gives you an extra yardage in the display which takes into account the slope, ie if the shot is downhill it will show an actual yardage and a reduced yardage that takes into account the gradient - a 'plays like' distance. Worth noting that this feature has to be turned off for any competitive golf as it is against the rules. Bushnell continues to lead the way in the laser rangefinder category and one product that is sure to be popular with tour pros and amateurs alike is the Tour V6 Shift. This rangefinder offers enhanced accuracy and consistency over the Tour V5 Shift thanks to improved electronics and an improved PinSeeker algorithm. Slope Switch feature carries over, allowing you to toggle on or off slope adjusted distances using a button on the side for even more accurate yardages when playing hilly courses.Speaking of off the golf course, when it comes to watches in particular, many brands make models that can be used on and off the golf course because of the range of features, and overall styling.
