Introducing the The Bushnell Phantom 2: A Convenient and Easy-to-Use Rangefinder for All Levels of Golfers

Ever since Bushnell dipped their toes in the golf laser rangefinder world, they have had a dominating presence at every major level.  From the top tours in the world to the everyday golfer at your local course, hands down the most trusted rangefinder brand is Bushnell Golf.

Their game-changing “slope reading” ability allows golfers to factor elevation changes on the fly, while their innovative JOLT-technology gives off a vibration/jolt as soon as the user has locked onto the flag.

Both ground-breaking features helped solidify Bushnell as kings in the laser rangefinder world, while giving golfers the confidence that their distance is as accurate as possible. 

But what if you’re a casual golfer that just needs to know how far a hazard is, or what the distance is to the center of the green?  Not every golfer has pinpoint accuracy with their clubs, and really just needs a few simple yardages to navigate a day on the links. And that’s where the new Bushnell Phantom 2 shines.

This helps them improve their performance, and also helps ensure we get the best features possible.

So what are the features that you can expect to have with the new Bushnell Phantom 2?

Accurate Distances: Front / Center / Back

Being aware of the exact distance to the flag is important. However, at times having an awareness of how far the back or front of the green is can be even more vital to hitting a great golf shot.

The Bushnell Phantom 2 uses a bold, easy-to-read font that shows you all three major distances that you need. 

Also, it carries over 38,000 preloaded golf courses… unless you’re playing at Bushwood CC, they’ll definitely have your golf course.

One of the new and improved features of the Bushnell Phantom 2 is the transflective display… which provides a high visibility even in bright sunlight.  And if you’ve ever played golf in the middle of the summer, a dimly-lit screen of any kind is frustrating, to say the least. This vivid display ensures you can get accurate and easy-to-read distances in any amount of light.
