Bushnell Phantom 3 Slope

A popular device amongst golfers who want something that’s both convenient and easy to use is the Phantom 3 Slope. It offers plenty of information without overcomplicating things. The device provides accurate distances to the front, middle and back of the green, all of which are SLOPE compensated. This means that the device will automatically adjust any distances based off of elevation changes, if you’re playing up or downhill. Golfers can also activate Green View, with a movable pin to really dial in accurate distances to the flag.

The device comes pre-loaded with over 38,000 courses and is fitted with BITE magnetic mount on the back, meaning it’ll easily attach to any metal in your golf club or your trolley. An 18 hour battery life means you can play multiple rounds on one charge too, ideal for those long golfing weekends. And to round things off, the device comes with a compatible mobile app by Bushnell which provides even more information about the course you’re playing with detailed maps. All of these great features mean that at just £149.00 the Phantom 3 Slope is fantastic value – great for the golfer that is conscious of their spending.

Shotscope Pro L2

One of the key factors when it comes to improving is taking the guess work out of your golf game. Having an accurate and reliable rangefinder therefore is key, as it means you’re not guessing yardages and will be able to hit more greens and avoid more hazards. One of our top picks is the Shotscope Pro L2, which is packed with great features at a very good price.

Among many great features is the built-in slope compensation, adjusting distances based on elevation changes and giving the most accurate yardages possible. The useful Target-Lock Vibration also lets you know when you’ve hit the flag and locks in the yardage but can also pick out other key reference points that you’d like to know the distance to. The built-in magnet and handy carry case also mean that your rangefinder is always easily accessible and to hand – no more guessing on the golf course!

Available for just £149 in-store, we can demo the Pro L2 and one of our helpful team can show you all of its great features. And if you’re looking for an upgrade, then consider the Shotscope Pro L5 with even brighter optics and an OLED display.

Bushnell Tour V7 Shift

For the more regular golfer, the Bushnell Tour V7 Shift is one to consider when it comes to elite rangefinders. The device comes with all the usual features you’d expect from a rangefinder – Jolt technology when you hit the flag, slope compensation on yardages, a BITE magnetic mount plus much more. In addition to this, you’ll benefit from a multicolour OLED display, a Bluetooth paired app with club recommendations and a range of up to 1300 yards. Slope can be toggled on and off for competition play too so you don’t break any rules! In the box, you’ll find the device and a protective case with clip to attach it to your bag for easy access.

The Bluetooth capabilities of the device is what really sets it apart from the rest of the crowd. LINK technology works with Foresight Sports to use your stock club yardages (obtained from a launch monitor) to then provide club recommendations. A virtual caddy on the course is sure to benefit any player and help them to shoot lower scores. Rounding things off, the Bushnell Tour V7 Shift is IPX6 water resistant, meaning you can use the device come rain or shine.

Garmin S70 GPS Watch

If golf and fitness is a big part of your lifestyle, the Garmin S70 is a fantastic option to consider. Not only does it come preloaded with 43,000 courses, but the watch also offers 24/7 health monitoring and activity tracking. A superbright 47mm touchscreen displays detailed maps of the golf course, with all the features you’d expect including front, middle and back yardages as well as club suggestions. The virtual caddie gives you recommendations based not only your swing data but also your round performance and wind speeds. Yardages are adjusted with a ‘plays like’ feature which gives you a better feel for how the shot is going to play – meaning you’ll be even more accurate when it comes to finding the green.

Health monitoring provides vital insight into your fitness, with heart rate tracking as well as tracking calories burnt throughout the day. The S70 allows you to create workouts too, meaning you can monitor your gym and strength training progress as you improve – much like you see the improvements in your golf too. The S70 has up to 21 days battery life in smartwatch mode and an impressive 20 hour battery life in GPS mode. The S70 could be yours for just £549 – come see us at Duncan Lambert Golf to learn more about this great watch.
