Introduction and New Products
Shot Scope today announced the launch of two brand new products to their ever-growing collection of GPS and shot tracking devices and laser rangefinders. In this short video I’ll tell you what to expect from one of these products, the Shot Scope Pro L2 Laser Rangefinder. At the very end of this video I’ll share with you further information about the other product released today, the Shot Scope X5 GPS and performance tracking golf watch. Now I’m hoping to get my hands on the Pro L2 within the next couple of weeks so as soon as I do I’ll make sure I record and upload an unboxing and First Look video so be sure to follow the channel if you’re not already doing so so that you’re notified when that video drops. Finally, should you be interested in finding out a little bit more about the Shot Scope Pro L2 or indeed placing a pre-order, you can do so from the Shot Scope website and I’ve dropped our direct link to the product in the description below.
Shot Scope PRO L2 Details
Now let’s discuss the Pro L2 in a little bit more detail. The Shot Scope Pro L2 is the third Laser Rangefinder released by Shot Scope and follows on from the Pro LX which was released around about this time last year. The Pro L2 is seen as an upgraded version of the Shot Scope Pro L1 which was released in 2020 as an entry level and affordable Laser Rangefinder. The Pro L2 will fit in just nicely between the Pro 1 and the Pro LX in terms of features and price. Designed to be comfortable and easy to use in all weather conditions thanks to its anti-slip rubber grip. The Shot Scope Pro L2 also features an integrated magnet which is perfect for those of you who regularly use a golf buggy and want to stick it onto the car when you’re not playing your shots.
Optics, Accuracy, and Slope
Unlike the Shot Scope Pro L1 and Pro LX, the Pro L2 doesn’t appear to have red and black dual Optics. However, the Precision clear lens and six times magnification should make it easy enough to zap those pins out on the golf course. These are two features that I find to be really useful in the past to help me obtain distances quickly and accurately. Speaking of accuracy, the Pro L2 claims to be accurate to within one yard which is something that I’ll definitely be testing out for or my forthcoming review. In addition to this, the device also has a range of up to 700 yards which in my opinion is probably more than is necessary for any Laser Rangefinder. Something that’s great to see with the Pro L2 is that it has adaptive slope technology built into it which means that elevation changes are taken into account so you should always have accurate yardages to the pin irrespective of whether the pin is above or below your current position. As is the case with most rangefinders which have slope technology built into them, the Shot Scope Pro L2 has a slope switch on the side so you can turn this mode off if you want to play competitively and ensure that your device conforms to the rules of golf.
Conclusion
Finally, as you would expect, the Pro L2 comes with a waterproof carry case so you can clip it and carry it on your golf bag. So there you have it, it looks like Shot Scope has produced a rangefinder that visually is a hybrid between the Pro L1 and the Pro LX but it’s packed with all of the essential features that most weekend golfers will be looking at all at a campaign price point. Personally, I think Shot Scope has made a really wise decision in building the integrated magnet into the Pro 2 and it’s likely to now appeal to more of those golfers who regularly use a golf cart. But let me know in the comments below what you think about this new device from Shot Scope. Remember, if you are interested in placing a pre-order for the Pro L2 or you just want to find out a bit more information about it, you can check out the direct product link that I’ve posted into the description for this video. Next up, if you want to find out more about the other Shot Scope product released today, these stunning and feature packed Shot Scope X5 GPS and shot tracking golf watch, then I’ve got all the information you’ll need in this video here.
The Shot Scope PRO L2 laser rangefinder is the third laser rangefinder that Shot Scope has released, following on from the PRO LX which was released around this time last year.
The PRO L2 is seen as an upgraded version of the entry-level and very affordable PRO L1 laser, released in 2020, and will sit nicely in between the PRO L1 and PRO LX in terms of price and features.
Let’s take a closer look at some of the PRO L2’s key features and find out what you can expect from this new rangefinder.
Anti-slip Grip and integrated Magnet
Designed to be comfortable and easy to hold in all weather conditions thanks to the anti-slip rubber grip, the PRO L2 also benefits from an powerful integrated magnet – perfect for those of you who use golf carts and want to stick it to the cart whilst it’s not being used.
Rapid fire and Target-Lock Vibration
Unlike the PRO 1 and PRO LX, the PRO L2 doesn’t appear to have red and black dual optics, however, its precision clear lens and x6 magnification should help make it easy enough to zap those pins.
Just like the more expensive PRO LX model, the PRO L2 also has rapid-fire detection and target lock vibration – two features I’ve found to be really useful in the past to obtain distances quickly and accurately.
Speaking of accuracy, the PRO L2 claims to be accurate to within 1 yard, something I’ll be sure to test out for my full equipment review, and has a range of 700 yards – about 400 yards more than any rangefinder realistically needs.
Adaptive Slope technology
Something that is great to see is that the PRO L2 has built-in adaptive slope technology, meaning that elevation changes on the hole can be taken into account to ensure you’re always getting the most precise and compensated distances possible.
As is the case with most rangefinders with slope technology, this option can be enabled and turned on or off using the Slope button on the side of the laser if you are playing competitively and want to ensure the device conforms to the rules of golf.
4 - Waterproof carry case
Finally, the PRO L2 also comes with a waterproof carry case so that you can clip and carry it on your golf bag.
Final thoughts
So there you have it, it looks like Shot Scope has done a nice job of creating a new laser that is visually, a sort of hybrid between the PRO L1 and PRO LX and is packed with all of the features the average weekend golfer will need – all of this achieved at an affordable and very competitive price. I think that the PRO L2 having the built-in magnet makes this laser particularly appealing to those of you who play golf using a golf cart.
As soon as I get my hands on the Shot Scope PRO L2 next couple of weeks I’ll record and upload an unboxing and first-look video to my YouTube channel, so be sure to check that out. Also, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the PRO L2 so drop a comment below to let me know what you think.
