Leupold GX1 Review
Leupold GX1 Rangefinder: 9.15 out of 10 (87 reviews)
For our Leupold GX1 Review Summary, we took into consideration the comments of over 55 user reviews across the web. In all honesty, it’s hard not to get excited about the GX1 after reading so many glowing reviews.
As is generally the case with all laser golf rangefinders, the ratings scores are high. People rave about the accuracy, but that’s pretty much a given when it comes to laser. Rarely will two lasers be more than three yards apart and that’s good enough for even the best players.
So what factors do you consider when deciding which laser rangefinder to buy? Besides accuracy, the three top mentions among users of the Leupold GX-1 were ease of use, compact size and the speed at which it picked up a target. Below in our list of pros and cons, you’ll see that there is a lot more to love about the GX1 and not many complaints.
There were a few users that struggled with being able to hit their target and getting a good reading. That is a complaint that shows up in a small percentage of all golf laser golf rangefinder reviews, as they do require a moderately steady hand. For those who may have issues with steadiness, we recommend taking a look at our Golf Buddy Platinum Review. Otherwise, we think it’s unlikely that you would go wrong with the Leupold GX-1.
Leupold offers three other golf rangefinders, two of which include a Slope feature. For more information, check our Leupold GX Rangefinder Series.
