Bushnell unleashes the Tour Z6 rangefinder

You just ripped your driver right down the middle of the fairway. And you’re set up perfectly for approach to the green, right on your number.

All you have left is a little 8 iron in. You take aim at the flagstick, and put a nice easy swing on the ball. Hole high, birdie attempt. Right?

Wrong. You flew the green. But you didn’t overcook the shot or mishit it. In fact, you struck the ball perfectly, just the way you wanted. So what happened?

You flew the green because you miscalculated the distance. And even the smallest distance miscalculations can leave you in disastrous positions, staring down the barrel of round killing bogeys and double bogeys.

Enter the revolutionary new Bushnell Tour Z6 Laser Rangefinder. It takes distance uncertainty out of the game, and replaces it with absolute yardage confidence.

“It’s smaller, sleeker, and has tons of range,” said Bushnell representative John Novosel.

In addition to incorporating tour proven PinSeeker Technology (PST) and an impressive 6x magnification, the Tour Z6 unleashes new and powerful technologies that are guaranteed to improve your game immediately and inject more fun into it as well.

Vivid Display Technology (VDT) generates enhanced light transmission for dramatically sharper display resolution.

“VDT is amazing,” Novosel said. “Distance readings are HD crisp, and display 3D like lettering. It’s very cool.”

The Z6 has multiple precision intensity settings so users can adjust the vivid red display to their personal preference. Another exciting feature of the new Tour Z6 is the E.S.P (Extreme Speed Precision) Technology, which according to Jordan Vermillion, director of product development, allows for better accuracy and faster processing.

“The Tour Z6 is the most accurate and most compact rangefinder we’ve ever developed,” Vermillion said.

Boasting extraordinary accuracy up to one-half yard, and distance display up to one-tenth of a yard, this powerful and compact rangefinder makes sure you have the best and most dependable distance measurements possible.

“You’re looking at the technology of the Pro 1M packed into a smaller size than the Tour V2,” Novosel said. (The Z6 is about the size of a deck of playing cards. Look for GolfWRX exclusive pictures early this week).

The Tour Z6 is also waterproof, with RainGuard HD lens coating, and features an improved rubber armored metal housing designed to provide maximum protection and unparalleled grip comfort.

Benefiting accomplished golfers and weekend warriors alike, the much anticipated new 2012 Tour Z6 Laser Rangefinder debuts in early April at a retail price of $399.

What’s the perfect mini-driver/shaft combo? – GolfWRXers discuss

In our forums, our members have been discussing Mini-Drivers and accompanying shafts. WRXer ‘JamesFisher1990’ is about to purchase a BRNR Mini and is torn on what shaft weight to use, and our members have been sharing their thoughts and set ups in our forum.

Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.

PARETO: “New BRNR at 13.5. Took it over to TXG (Club Champ but TXG will always rule) in Calgary for a fit. Took the head down to 12, stuck in a Graphite Design AD at 3 wood length and 60g. Presto- numbers that rivaled my G430Max but with waaaaay tighter dispersion. Win.”
driveandputtmachine: “Still playing a MIni 300. The head was only 208, so I ordered a heavier weight and play it at 3 wood length. I am playing a Ventus Red 70. I play 70 grams in my fairways. I use it mainly to hit draws off the tee. When I combine me, a driver, and trying to hit a draw it does not work out well most of the time. So the MIni is for that. As an aside, I have not hit the newest BRNR, but the previous model wasn’t great off the deck. The 300 Mini is very good off the deck.”
JAM01: “Ok, just put the BRNR in the bag along side a QI10 max and a QI10 3 wood. A load of top end redundancy. But, I have several holes at my two home courses where the flight and accuracy of the mini driver helps immensely. Mine is stock Proforce 65 at 13.5, I could see a heavier shaft, but to normal flex, as a nice alternative.”
