Bushnell V2 Pinseeker – Perfect For The Enthusiast And The Pro Alike
Golf being a precision ball-and-club game, it is imperative to acquire the ability to calculate distances over many yards, hazards and inclines in the course. For the most part, it can be easy to do so especially when you know the course like the back of your hand. But more often than not, this is simply not possible. So, in come the benefits of owning and using the Bushnell V2 Pinseeker.
It is part of the widely respected Bushnell line of rangefinders, which has dominated the industry in the past years. Well, that may just be our two cents’ worth of opinion considering that Bushnell has almost always lived up to expectations when it comes to their golf products.
Product Features
The V2 Pinseeker is a laser rangefinder, not a GPS rangefinder, ideal for tournament as well as leisure play. As the name implies, the design is such that the target pin is isolated from the surrounding area, the distance is measured and then displayed on the digital screen. The obvious aim is to select the right golf club as well as the right swing to sink the ball into the hole.
You will appreciate that the Bushnell V2 Pinseeker measures distances from 5 to 1,000 yards with an almost dead-on accuracy of plus or minus one yard. If you want higher range limits that the thousand yards, Bushnell also offers the 1600 Editions that extend up to 1,600 yards. The unit also converts yards to meters for the mathematically challenged golfer.
The pinseeker also comes with a 5 times magnification scope. Basically, you can locate your golf ball for up to 300 yards to a flag. You will find that this feature is a good one when your golf buddies thank you for it.
Operating Modes
You can choose from the three operating modes of the Bushnell V2 Pinseeker, the pinseeker, scan and slop. The pinseeker modes allow for easy targeting while the scan mode is for scanning the surrounding hazards without losing track of the target on the display. If you play in a hilly golf course, the slope mode permits accurate measurements of the distance even when inclines and declines are in the way of the target.
You will also appreciate the custom high-tack grip especially on humid days and the multi-coated optics for darker days since it allows for clear and clear images. Add in the 2-year warranty and you have your precious toy for golf sessions.
Price
As can be expected, the Bushnell V2 Pinseeker is sold at varying prices in many online sites. Prices start at $300 and most often peak at $350 exclusive of the shipping and handling charges. With a little more patience and digging around, you can buy one at a low price of just $250 although it pays to ask the retailer for more details on the unit.
The case itself is compact but sturdy. You can attach it to your belt or to your golf bag, either of which is good since the V2 Pinseeker is lightweight as well as able to fit into the palm of your hand.
With these features, it is no wonder then that golfers who are serious about their game and have serious money to spend will not hesitate to purchase the Bushnell V2 Pinseeker.
