Combining the accuracy of a laser with the big-picture information provided by a golf GPS, the Bushnell Hybrid tries to give players at every level all the information they need on the course.
Like the Pro X2 laser rangefinder that was released last year, the Hybrid has Jolt, a feature that makes the unit vibrate in a player’s hand when it locks in on the flag, so players know they have hit the target with the laser. It is also water resistant, has 5X magnification and is accurate to within 1 yard from as many as 400 yards away.
The GPS system is pre-loaded with more than 36,000 courses in 30 countries. The Hybrid can use Bluetooth to update its course data and automatically recognizes the course and hole being played. The Hybrid continuously displays the hole number along with front, middle and back yardages on the side of the unit.
The Hybrid does not come with a slope function that provides “playing” distances based on uphill and downhill targets.
The Hybrid uses two batteries, one for the laser and a rechargeable USB battery for the GPS functions. Starting fully charged, the GPS battery can work up to 16 hours.
