The Tour V7 Shift is the Bushnell most golfers should buy. It carries the company's Slope Technology, which Bushnell says has led on Tour for decades, and adds a dual color OLED display: the measured distance and the slope-adjusted play-as number appear in different colors, with the compensated yardage in green. A Slope-Switch turns compensation off so the unit conforms for tournament play. Flag lock is confirmed two ways, by a JOLT vibration and a flashing red ring, and pressing the Mode button recalls your last ranged distance. Bushnell lists a 5 to 1,300 yard range, +/- 1 yard accuracy, 6x magnification and a 9 oz weight. The BITE magnet holds it to a cart bar, and LINK-Enabled technology can show club suggestions from your own launch monitor data. The tradeoffs: that feature needs a Foresight or Bushnell launch monitor, water resistance is IPX6, and it uses a CR2 battery.
Who it is for
Most golfers who want Bushnell's tour slope numbers and a clear display without paying flagship prices.
