Our final verdict? While it can be a bit pricey, it’s worth it if you can afford it. The Bushnell V4 is water resistant, so even if you’re playing in a monsoon (which God bless you if you are), you won’t have to worry about it getting damaged.
#Tour v4 range finder upgrade
I would expect in the next upgrade that they will move to a 6x/7x as some rangefinders have that ability out there. This one has 5x magnification and has a view range of 5-1000 yards and can scan anywhere within 400 yards to the flag. ZoomĪnother question on many golfers’ minds are the zoom levels. The 3 volt/cr2 battery also allows you to play a few rounds without needing a recharge. It also includes a battery pack and battery door. It comes with a protective silicone cover and premium looking hard case which can easily clip to your golf bag. The V4 has an adjustable eyepiece which allows you to fit your eye. No more doing the law of averages of five different readings or doubting yourself or the rangefinder. Once that jolt goes off, you’re locked in. Plus, like we said above, this isn’t going to give you a different reading every time. Well, with the V4, it sets off a small vibration, or “jolt”, that you can feel. If you’ve ever used these things, it’s hard to figure out when the rangefinder has finalized a set distance for your shot. There’s also the JOLT part of the rangefinder is pretty cool, I won’t lie. You can also adjust the focus with the focus ring, something a lot of rangefinders don’t come with. One button on top can control everything, from shooting off the laser to the flag to switching to different modes. Unlike the V3, this one has a small notch along the bottom of the rangefinder to rest your thumb and it is better textured allowing for a stronger grip. It makes it super comfortable to hold in your hand. This can be a caveat, too, though, as it makes it harder to hold still when it’s this super light. It puts my 30-pound binocular set to shame. It’s very compact and easy to hold and use, not to mention it weighs less than 6 ounces. In fact, research shows it’s 30% smaller. Keep that in mind so you don’t get penalized when competing.Ĭompared to the V3, the V4 is considerably smaller. If you play in tournaments, it is now legal to use the slope laser, but you have to keep the slope mode off. This has a huge impact, obviously, on club selection. The slope edition factors in uphill and downhill shots and adjusts your distance based off that. I would recommend getting the slope edition because this is even more accurate. The speed it gives you those numbers is also much quicker compared to other models, particularly the V3. However, there are some rangefinders out there that are down to ½-yard, and I would expect the next version to try and get down to that. The plus/minus rate is right around 1 yard, which is much lower than your average rangefinder. It’s not going to give you five different readings in less than a minute. For starters, its accuracy numbers are pretty darn spot on. There are a lot of things to like about the V4 Rangefinder, especially compared to the older version, the V3, if you’ve used that.
