Product Description

CONFIDENCE HAS A NEW LOOK AND FEEL it's like perfect feel in putting, just 1,000 yards long. The new Tour V2 with Pinseeker laser rangefinders rests in your hand with an ergonomic precision that builds confidence and pride. Its guts are 100% Bushnell laser rangefinder, but the package outside will rival your favorite driver with a custom high-tech grip. The new V2 sets a new standard in the complete laser rangefinder package - looks, feel and performance.

Amazon.com

The world's smallest, most advanced laser rangefinder, the Bushnell Tour V2 weighs just 6.6 ounces and is accurate from 5 to 1000 yards. It's equipped with PinSeeker technology to combine pinpoint accuracy and consistency enabling you to range up to 300 yards (±1 yard) to the flag without the use of reflectors.

Designed exclusively with the bottom of the cup in mind, Bushnell's Pinseeker mode allows easy acquisition of the flag without inadvertently capturing background target distances. When more than one object is acquired, the closer of the two objects is shown on the LCD screen.

Powered by a 3-volt battery, the ultra-compact Tour V2 boasts a 5x magnification and features a rubber armoring, making it easy to grip. It also comes with a premium carrying case. The Tour V2 is legal for tournament play and for posting of scores for handicap purposes. Other features include distance readings in both yards and meters and standard SCAN mode, which allows you to pan across the landscape while viewing a continuously updated LCD display of the distances between you and the targets you scan..

  How a Laser Rangefinder Works
  Bushnell's Yardage Pro rangefinders use an invisible, eye-safe Class 1 Laser beam (as classified by the FDA) which is "bounced" off distant objects with the press of a button. Then, the rangefinder's high-speed digital clock measures the time it took for a laser beam to reach a target and return to the unit. Next, using advanced digital electronics, the rangefinder instantly calculates the distance within ±1 yard and shows the range in either yards or meters on a through-the-lens LCD Display. The entire process is so fast that less than a second elapses between the time you press the button to generate a laser beam to the time the exact range to your target is displayed.

Bushnell Tour V2 works great!

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2012

Verified Purchase

After a bad experience with an Izzo Swami 3000 GPS (very inaccurate), I decided to try a laser rangefinder. I tried both the Bushnell V2 and the Leupold GX-1. I liked the extra features of the Leupold, however, as others have commented, I found that the yardage reading below the pipper as in the Bushnell was preferred. Additionally, if you wear glasses when you play as I do, the slight extra distance of your eye from the range finder lens moves the Leupold yardage readout out of your line of sight resulting in one having to tilt the Leupold after taking a laser shot in order to read the yardage.

I have used the V2 a few times now and it is simple to use, easy to read (even for an old guy) and is very accurate. I am very happy with the performance.

Update on 10/29/12: The battery lasted roughly 20 rounds or so. One drawback is that there is no low battery indicator. It just acted wacky all of a sudden until I changed the battery. Probably a good idea to carry a spare battery. I am still amazed at how it has helped me hit to the right distance. Still worth 5 stars.

Bushnell is the Titleist of Rangefinders!!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2013

When you think of a golf ball, your first thought is Titleist. There's a reason for that. They are the number one ball in golf!! The same goes for Bushnell and their rangefinders. When you need a rangefinder, Bushnell should be your only choice!! They build a quality, accurate, and an easy to use product! The Tour V2 is the second Bushnell that I have owned and I will never own anything other than a Bushnell. This is the first time having one with the "pinseeker" technology and extremely pleased with that feature. It really does distinguish the pin from background clutter. The size and weight make it very easy to hold on your target without having to brace it or use a mount. Definitely the best Bushnell I've had yet. I know this, when I need yardage and I get it from my Bushnell, I know that I can trust it!!! Plain and simple!!!! If you're looking for a rangefinder and are on a budget, this should be your ONLY choice!!!!

This is my second golf laser rangefinder and I can honestly say this one is much easier to use than the first (some generic model I got cheap). The rangefinder is nice and compact, plus the Pinseeker technology works as advertised. Here's the catch...after owning this product for just a few weeks, I noticed that there is a stain in the viewfinder. It's not on the outside, because I have cleaned all the lenses and it is still there. It doesn't affect the way the rangefinder works, but it is distracting. This is where the 2 stars comes in. I sent email to Bushnell support about the problem. Their response is to have me send the item to them for "evaluation" (no guarantee of repair or replacement) for 4-6 weeks. In addition, I have to send a check for $10 to cover return shipping!! Unfortunately, I have several important tournaments during the next few weeks and don't want to be without a rangefinder.

I was looking for a replacement of my SkyCaddie (5) at renewal as I was tired of the ongoing fees and the constant loading and unloading of courses. I purchased the V2 as I didn't see the need for the slope capabilities in the V3 (and the issues that raises for tournament play).

After reading some of the reviews here on Amazon, I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly the V2 generated its readings. The viewfinder makes it easy to center on your target. There is the occasional mis-read for an object behind the target (generally trees behind a flag) but you quickly become accustomed to taking a reading at the front of the green and then the flag if you ever question the reading. It takes just a few seconds and you become increasingly confident in what constitutes a good reading. It is very good on standard flags and exceptional on flags with built in reflectors. You can read off of just about anything (e.g. players on the green, carts, irrigation boxes, trees, etc). So you have a variety of options to determine yardage and the occasional 'bailout' location.

The size is great and can be used single handed for most readings under 200 yards and dual handed for readings over 200 yards just for stabilization. An added bonus is the 7x magnification. I have found myself using the V2 just to see where a ball ends up on or near the green (these old eyes not working like they used to).

The biggest difference over the SkyCaddie is the ability to get exact readings off of various target points on the course; whether it is a bunker or creek or other hazard. With the SkyCaddie there always appeared to be a bit of 'wiggle room' depending on how well the course was mapped or the number of satellites your device was tying in to. With the V2 you just point and click and you know exactly the yardage you need to carry or lay up to. That aspect alone has saved me one to two strokes each round I've used the range finder as it has kept me from overshooting my layup location or under-clubbing when trying to carry a hazard.

For those considering the switch from a GPS based device to a laser range finder, I highly recommend making the switch. The only caution is if you tend to spray the ball quite a bit and find yourself behind a lot of trees or otherwise don't have good line of sight to your target, you may want to stick with the GPS. For me, it was the best decision I've made in golf equipment purchases (which I had done it several renewals ago).

Bushnell Tour V2 with Pinseeker Laser Range Finder

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2010

I have used the V2 range finder now for 3 weeks, playing golf at least 3 times a week. I have found the V2 to be extremely accurate, versatile, light weight, compact, and easy to use. I also have a Sky Caddie to compare distances, and the V2 is right on every time. I am a 5 handicapper, and I've found this device to be perfect for my needs. I purchased this model because I had read other reviews that the more expensive models with more features and 7x power were not as compact and easy to use because of the size and having to hold the higher power models very steady when looking through the viewfinder. The Sky Caddie gives faster readouts, naturally, so I use it most of the time; however, it still has a $50 annual renewal, requires periodic charging (about every 4th round), and new courses have to be downloaded. I think most players would do fine with just the V2.

Ich habe das Gerät hier gekauft und war gespannt auf dessen Funktion. Ich muss sagen, daß ich es nicht bereue. Das Teil hat nicht viel Schnick-Schnack und jeder, der auch Golf spielt weiß, daß man auf der Runde mehr als genug mit Golf zu tun hat, als daß man es sich leisten könnte, noch großartig ein kompliziertes Gerät zu bedienen. Da hilft dann auch kein Gerät, welches eventuell mehr Funktionen zur Verfügung stellt, wenn man sich erst durch ein Menu hangeln oder das erst einmal noch lang und breit eingestellt werden muß. Wenn ich zum Ball komme, dann weiß ich, daß die Entfernungsmessung schnell gehen muß, meine Flight-Partner warten darauf, daß ich meinen Schlag mache und hinter uns stehen dann auch oft noch 3-4 Leute, die nicht erwarten, daß man erst mal großartige Geländevermessungen vornimmt, bevor man sich dazu bequemt, denn Ball anzusprechen.
Nein. Sowas geht nicht. So ein Hilfmittel muß schnell aus der Tasche gezogen werden können, die Entfernung gelasert und danach schnell wieder in der Tasche verschwinden. Wenn es geht, dann laser ich die Entfernung noch während meine Flightpartner dran sind, so da ich die Entfernung schon vorher weiss. Aber dieses Gerät ist einfach zu bedienen, daß man die Entfernung sehr schnell bekommt. Und dabei ist es genau. OK, manchmal ist durch die Öse am Etui leicht fummelig, dieses wieder zu verschliessen, aber es geht. Und wenn es sehr schnell gehen muss, kann man ihn zur Not auch offen lassen, wenn es am Bag befestigt ist, dann fällt es auch so schnell nicht raus. Zudem ist es sehr robust.

Naja, ob das Gerät *alleine* das Golfspiel verbessert, kann ich nicht sagen, einen schlechten Schwung kann es nicht zu einem guten machen, aber ich habe den Eindruck als wenn es mein Spiel tatsächlich verbessert hat. Gut, wenn ich 200 Meter mit dem Holz komme, dann ist es unerheblich, ob ich für ein Ziel 300 oder 330 Meter schätze. Aber es macht tatsächlich einen großen Unterschied, ob ich 80 Meter schätze wenn das Ziel tatsächlich nur 65 Meter (oder umgekehrt) weit weg ist! Und ich habe es mal ausprobiert, ich hätte das vorher nicht gedacht, (ich habe nur ein Handicap von 25) aber ich schätze tatsächlich relativ häufig 10-20 Meter zuviel oder zuwenig und das macht dann in Real 1 bis 2 Schläger Unterschied! Und das wirkt sich wiederum auf mein Ergebnis aus, ich schätze, daß ich mit einem Laser-Entfernungsmesser tatsächlich im Schnitt 3-4 Handicap-Punkte besser bin! (Na gut, wenn man mal einen blöden Tag hat, dann hilft so ein Gerät natürlich auch nicht, dann trifft man überdurchschnittlich viele Bälle nicht, da kann man machen, was man will. Das ist Golf :-( Wenn man die Bälle nicht trifft, dann hilft auch die beste Entfernungsmessung nichts ;-))

Aber mit Entfernungsmessung, bei durchschnittlicher Treffrate in meinem Handicap-Bereich, hilft das Ding doch ungemein weiter weil, wenn meine Länge stimmt, also, mehr oder weniger, dann nur noch die rechts- oder links Abweichung als Fehlerquelle übrig bleibt. Und das Ausschalten einer Unsicherheitskomponente ist dann doch eine ziemlich große Hilfe beim Golfsport, der, so habe ich den Eindruck, eigentlich nur aus Unwägbarkeiten besteht, die man zwar eindämmen, aber nie ganz abstellen kann.

Aufgrund der Natur der Entfernungsmessung ist eine Anvisierung von weit entfernten Zielen natürlich etwas wakelig, das sollte aber mit etwas Übung auch zu meistern sein. Also, der Bushnell Tour V2 Standard (Achtung, Geräte mit Slope sind bei den meisten Tournieren nichtzugelassen) ist (mir) eine große, einfache und praktische Hilfe, ein Gerät, daß das macht, was es soll: 5 Points...

----------------

Update (23.9.2013)

Gestern ist die Batterie das 1. Mal zu Ende gewesen, heute habe ich ein neue eingesetzt. (Die Bezeichnung ist CR2 Lithium 3V. http://www.amazon.de/Duracell-Photobatterie-CR2-CR17355-2er-Pack/dp/B00011PJDQ). Bei normalem Spiel, so ca. 1-2 Mal pro Woche, finde ich die Standzeit des Entfernungsmesser sehr gut. Es ist angenehm, sich nicht andauernd auch noch um die Batterie des Equipments kümmern zu müssen. Das wäre für mich noch ein weiterer Pluspunkt.
