Best Golf Rangefinders With Slope
For any serious golfer seeking the most accurate distances available, a golf laser rangefinder with Slope functionality is an absolute must. Slope refers to the ability of a laser rangefinder to compensate for changes in gradient and adjust the distance to the flag or object accordingly. When you are hitting uphill, the shot is actually playing longer and a Slope distance will reflect this. Conversely, a shot hit downhill will travel further.
The slope function can be particularly useful on hilly courses when changes in elevation are commonplace. Remember though, that slope functionality is not currently legal for competition use, so currently you can only employ it during practice and social rounds.
Thankfully, the best golf laser rangefinders (opens in new tab) with slope allows users to quickly and easily toggle the slope feature on and off depending on the round you are about to play. Some even have indictor lights on the unit that let your playing partners know your laser unit is legal for competition play.
Most golf rangefinders with slope account just for the change in elevation, but there are some units like the Bushnell Pro XE (opens in new tab) that factor in environmental elements like temperature and altitude as well, which also effect how far the ball travels and therefore provides an even more accurate adjusted distance number – it is why we saw a lot of players and caddies using this particular model when laser rangefinders were permitted for use during the 2021 PGA Championship (opens in new tab).
