Shot Scope PRO L1: Premium Features with Affordable Pricing
Shot Scope has been disrupting the golf industry since 2016. With the launch of the V1, Shot Scope was the new kid on the block that wanted to offer accurate shot tracking data at a reasonable price point and without a membership fee.
The V1 was a huge success, and subsequently resulted in the V2 and, most recently, the V3 iterations, each of which have continued to adhere to Shot Scope’s commitment to offer golfers with a premium product that doesn’t punish your wallet.
With the growing momentum and presence, Shot Scope has decided to take on a new segment: laser rangefinders.

Laser rangefinders, much like a GPS watch, can be a very valuable tool in your golf arsenal. Indeed, a quality laser can be the difference between blindly relying on a scorecard and knowing exactly how many yards you are from a hazard or the pin.
That said, the laser rangefinder marketplace can be reduced to two segments: super, premium offerings ($400+) and affordable, the latter of which often come with reduced features, accuracy, and overall quality.
Shot Scope looks to buck the norm with the PRO L1 (available with Blue and Grey face plates) by bringing to market a premium rangefinder that offers several features reserved for premium offerings, such as adjustable optics, target lock vibration and slope adjusted measuring, at a $200 price point, or about half what some of its rivals cost.

Right from unboxing, it’s evident that Shot Scope wanted to make sure it provided users with a quality product. Each PROL1 comes with a protective carrying case and lens cleaning cloth. The PROL1 itself is a clean design with minimal, tasteful branding, with easily accessible buttons to adjust modes and stippling on the contoured grip sections so it sits securely in your hand.

On the course, the PRO L1 does everything that Shot Scope promises: the rangefinder quickly fires up when you press the button, the 6x magnification lense is clear and is further refined by the adjustable red or black display optics, which was a really nice touch when lighting conditions range from sunny to cloudy and overcast.
Additionally, the 875 yard range means that you’ll never encounter a hole that you cannot get accurate distances for, especially when combined with the slope technology and accuracy within 0.1 yards. And to make sure you’re getting precise distances for pins, the target-lock vibration triggers a short vibration to confirm you’ve locked on the real target.
Notably, some of these features, particularly the adjustable color optics and target-lock vibration, are not even offered together on premium rangefinders that cost double the PRO L1.

The Shot Scope PRO L1 is a no nonsense product. It offers numerous, premium features that, when combined, would command a $400 price tag, but Shot Scope is merely charging $200. As a result, it would be foolish (if not irresponsible) for you to not consider the PRO L1 if you were looking to add a rangefinder or replace an outdated model.
