First-of-its-Kind Rangefinder System Includes 3 Innovative Devices Sold as One Unit (PRO LX+) or Separately as PRO LX GPS Rangefinder and H4 Game Tracker; Golfers Now have a Choice when using a Laser Rangefinder to add GPS & Performance Tracking Technologies
Edinburgh, Scotland … Shot Scope (www.shotscope.com), a leading international manufacturer of GPS-based distance tracking and game performance systems, earned rave reviews at the 2022 PGA Show as the new PRO LX+, golf’s first laser rangefinder to feature GPS-powered distances and Artificial Intelligence for personalized performance tracking, was met with overwhelming approval as the Company added over 60 new accounts and booked more than $130,000 in pre-orders.
“Shot Scope has redefined the rangefinder category with a 3 in 1 product system highlighted by the PRO LX+,” said David Hunter, CEO, Shot Scope. “While we knew traffic at the PGA Show would be lighter than normal in 2022 due to the pandemic, we far exceeded our expectations as PGA Professionals and golf retailers alike fully embraced our innovation. Adding 60 new accounts and over $130,000 in advance orders made for a great launch week.”
A first-of-its-kind rangefinder, the PRO LX+ system, which will be available in early March, includes three innovative devices which are sold as one unit, the PRO LX+, featuring GPS-powered distances and performance tracking, or individually as the PRO LX Rangefinder and H4 Game Tracker. Today, with research showing that modern golfers rely on multiple GPS devices, players of all levels now have one device – PRO LX+ – that provides all of the on-course technology they need in one system.
Hunter adds, “Shot Scope is thrilled to unveil this game-changing device to the golf industry, as we introduce GPS distance and performance tracking technology to laser rangefinder users for the first time ever. Our V3 Smart Watch was a tremendous success when it launched in 2020, and now we are bringing that same artificial intelligence to rangefinders and giving golfers a multi-product system that is offered at a price point for every budget.”
Shot Scope PRO LX+
Highlighting the new Shot Scope rangefinder system is the PRO LX+, the only rangefinder to offer 3 products in one – a rangefinder, GPS-powered distances and performance tracking. The PRO LX+ features a wealth of golfer-friendly benefits including, advanced target lock vibration, red and black dual optics, X7 navigation, adaptive slope technology, 900-yard range which is accurate to 1 yard, a precision clear lens and a comfort stability grip. Additionally, the PRO LX+ offers 36,000 pre-loaded courses, dynamic front, back and middle GPS distances with front and carry distances to every hazard, all distances are available in yards or meters. Available at $349.99 SRP with no subscription fees and free updates.
The PRO LX+, which is available in blue, gray and orange colors, also features Shot Scope’s artificial intelligence for performance tracking via the H4 Game Tracker which magnetically attaches to the rangefinder. Backed by 16 RFID tracking tags that capture over 100 game statistics during a round of golf, the performance tracking capability works in the background and continuously scans the golfer’s swing settings. This creates an ever-increasing volume and accuracy of data collected from the golfer during play, leading to more insights and statistics that help the player understand their game better, improve on-course strategy and shoot lower scores. The water-resistant PRO LX+, which is USGA conforming, also comes with a premium carry case, lanyard, carry clip, cleaning cloth and 1 x CR123 battery.
