The Pro X3+LINK is the rangefinder for golfers who want every variable in the number. On top of Bushnell's slope compensation, Elements adds temperature and altitude, and you can enter your home elevation so adjusted distances reflect where you usually play. The new addition is wind: the display breaks it down into hurt or help and left or right, after a short calibration. A locking Slope-Switch makes it hard to switch slope on by accident in a tournament. Bushnell calls it the most powerful golf laser it has made, with readings within a yard to flags at 600+ yards, a 5 to 1,300 yard range and 7x magnification, the highest documented here. The housing is rubber-armored metal rated IPX7. The dual display toggles red or black, and the BITE magnet and LINK-Enabled club suggestions carry over. The tradeoffs are price, $599.99, and weight, 12 oz.
