What is The Difference between Digital and Laser?
What is a digital golf range finder and what is the difference between that and a laser range finder? Well, the GX series is built around the laser range finder concept which is what makes them so accurate and effective when it comes to measuring distance. The digital aspect of comes into play when you add extra features to a laser range finder. In the case of the Leupold GX series they have used the “digital” in the name in terms of marketing to capture a larger audience. The truth is that most high end laser range finders have features that require “digital” aspects that simply work with the basic laser features to maximize the potential of the range finder.

The GX-1 is built around two main features;
- PinHunter
- PrismLock
PinHunter: you can find the hazard or flag with ease within the 350 yard mark with the help of the PinHunter which is a feature that enables the range finder to find the flag when there are other objects in the back- or foreground, such as trees or bushes.
PrismLock: helps you to “lock” the flag in the cross-hair by identifying the prism topped flag-stick. You simply scan the area around the flag and the rangefinder will do the rest.
Other Features of the GX-1
The Leupold GX-1 Digital Rangefinder is packed with other features that helps the user get an accurate reading of objects on the course. These include fog mode which enables you to scan through bad weather, such as fog, rain, and snow, and scan mode which allows for the scanning of the course while getting continuous readings of the chosen objects in the view of the range finder.
