Product Description

Leupold’s GX-II has all the features of the GX-I, plus is the only golf rangefinder to provide accurate ranging information that matches your personal striking distances to the slope of the course and current atmospheric conditions. Two more proprietary technologies are merged in this unit: Club Selector and TGR™. Leupold’s Club Selector™ relies on the striking distance of each golfer to determine the appropriate trajectory of the ball to give the most accurate horizontal distance possible. TGR™ combines the information from Club Selector with uphill or downhill slope, elevation and temperature, to fine tune this distance to a level no other rangefinder can match. The result is incredibly accurate ranging, no matter what the conditions, customized for your game.

Great rangefinder! I purchased it from Amazon last week and took it to the course today. The GX-II was easy to set up and learn how to use. On the first hole I was using it instead of looking around for ranges on sprinkler heads. My speed of play was much better and so was my score. I shot 2 stokes better today and I attribute it directly to better club selection. The true golf range feature helped me determine exactly what club I needed to use. Another point to make is that a buddy golfing with me had one of the high end Bushnell rangefinders and a half dozen times we checked ranges together and they matched to the yard each time. Even with ranges over 225 yards. Great product!

5.0 out of 5 stars GX-II - BEST RANGEFINDER FOR GOLF, May 10, 2010

After comparing the Leopuld GX-II to the Bushnell V2 TOUR and the 1600 Pro I found the GX-II was the best for me.
The GX-II picks up lower reflective targets than the Bushnell and has better ergonomics.
After playing 90 holes of golf last week I'm convinced that I made the correct choice. My friend who had a Bushnell V2 Tour that was stolen replaced it with the GX-II after using mine.

5.0 out of 5 stars Golf laser range finder, August 1, 2010

Quality laser range finders are expensive - this is no exception.

Some range finders claim to be able to lock on to pin flags which do not have the laser reflectors built into them. I know I struggle getting reliable ranges with this unit because I simply cannot hold it steady enough to get a good reading. Also, if the background to the screen is quite dark, ie lots of trees or shrubs just behind the green, the numbers displayed on the LCD overlay are nearly impossible to read as it requires a background that is quite bright, ie sky or water.

I really have not benefited from all of the features of this unit (air temperature and slope compensation, suggested club choice) because I find it so tricky to get a lock on the flag, hence I cannot recommend this range finder at this time.

I will battle on as I like the idea, but I suspect that I may have been happier with a GPS unit, even if I would then have to program the golf course into it before leaving home. For those interested in purchasing some sort of range finder, you should borrow one from someone who uses it regularly and get to know the tricks before you purchase it.

August update:
A poor workman blames his tools. If you use this properly, it is really very good at locking on to the pin. I was holding down the main button, which has a fairly strong spring behind it, causing my hand to shake. Hit the button once to switch the unit on, take aim at the green, press and release the button again and try to hit the flag stick with the targeting cross-hairs. The range finder very quickly gets the range to the pin - every time. Now aim at a lighter background if necessary to read the distance, recommended club and so on. I have upped the rating to excellent.
