Laser Link Red Hot Review

The Laser Link Red Hot has been retired. Check out our current recommendations for today's best golf rangefinders..

For our Laser Link Red Hot Review, we looked at user reviews and professional reviews from all over the web. In all honesty, we’re searching for reasons why anyone might prefer a Laser Link Red Hot to Callaway LR550 or a Bushnell Tour V2. There are very few user reviews available for the Red Hot, which we think is understandable, since we can’t imagine this is the best choice for most golfers.

Previous versions of Laser Link could only be used on golf courses that had flagsticks equipped with prisms. Given the price of these units, it was hard to imagine why anyone would have chosen a Laser Link over other traditional laser rangefinders. With laser rangefinders from Bushnell and Callaway, you look through a binocular or monocular type of eyepiece, aim it at any target you can see, push a button and within seconds, have the exact yardage to your target. That includes the face of a bunker, a tree at the corner of the fairway and the flagstick. With the old Laser Link Models, the only distance you can get is to the flag and that was only on golf courses that had a prism on the flagsticks. To be fair, there are players who mostly play only their home golf course and who have difficulty holding a traditional laser steady enough. For them, the older Laser Link models might have been an okay choice.

Back to the Red Hot Laser Link… this newest model from Laser Link, while still utilizing the prism system, can also get yardages to any visible target like a traditional laser golf rangefinder. So how does it stack up against the Callaway and Bushnell laser rangefinders? Well, for starters, the shape is very different and it’s bigger. For some users who struggle to keep a steady hand, the advantage probably goes to the Red Hot. Reviewers indicate there is an advantage when the prism is present, but we believe this to be true of all laser rangefinders. As of this writing, the Callaway LR550, the Bushnell Tour V2 and even the newly released Callaway Diablo Rangefinder are all smaller and less expensive than the Laser Link Red Hot. So in our opinion, Laser Link might be a better option for anyone who struggles with holding the smaller models steady, but for most golfers, we suggest trying the Callaway, Bushnell or Leupold laser rangefinders.
