Last year Bushnell came out with the new Tour V3 rangefinder with what they called JOLT technology. It was a simple vibrating pulse letting you know you were locked on to your target. You can read the full THP review of that game changing device here.
Today Bushnell is announcing its smallest, most technically advanced golf laser rangefinder – the Tour Z6 JOLT. With its ultra-compact size and increased power, the Tour Z6 JOLT has been engineered with new JOLT Technology and 2nd Generation E.S.P. (Extreme. Speed. Precision) technologies.
Also new to the Tour Z6 JOLT is 2nd generation E.S.P (Extreme. Speed. Precision) Technology. 2nd Generation E.S.P. provides yardages five times faster and more accurately than ever before. Not only has the acquisition speed been increased to a lightning fast level, 2nd Generation E.S.P. provides ½ yard accuracy from 5-125 yards, and the distance is displayed to 1/10th of a yard. Having more accurate laser distances enables the golfer to strategize and hit every approach shot with confidence.
The ultra-compact Tour Z6 JOLT also features Vivid Display Technology. Created specifically for Bushnell’s premium rangefinders, this optical enhancement improves contrast, clarity and light transmission dramatically for enhanced use. The brightness of the digital readout information has also been increased, providing rapid and positive yardage acquisition in all lighting conditions. It is simply the best heads-up projection display on the market.
As with all Bushnell rangefinders, the Tour Z6 JOLT provides instantaneous measurements in yards and meters with incredible accuracy to any target on the course. The Tour Z6 JOLT boasts 5-1,300 yards ranging performance, including 450+ yards to the flag and is legal for tournament play (all Bushnell laser rangefinder models, except the Bushnell Pro X7 Slope and Bushnell Tour v3 Slope, are legal to use when USGA rule 14-3/.05 is in effect).
Product features include:
• PinSeeker with JOLT Technology
• Accurate to ½ Yard
• 5-1,300 yards ranging performance (450+ yards to a flag)
• Vivid Display Technology (VDT) for all lighting conditions
• 2nd Generation E.S.P. (Extreme. Speed. Precision.)
• 6x Magnification (objects appear 6 times closer)
• Premium lens coatings for superb optical quality
• Rubber armored metal housing
• Posi-Thread Battery Door
• Waterproof
• 3-Volt Battery and Premium Carry Case included
The Tour Z6 JOLT will be available at Bushnell retailers nationwide beginning in February, with a retail price of $399.
I love my Z6. Compact, easy to use, and has helped my game out a lot. Add all the new technology packed into this one and there is no way this isn’t a home run.
I have never used a rangefinder, but this one seems like it has everything you are looking for in a size that would be easy to carry and deal with on the course.
Very nice! I already own the Z6 and it’s a great unit, nice addition of the Jolt technology to it.
A rangefinder is my preferred device to get my distances, and making it faster and more accurate is always a good thing. Sounds like this one would be worth checking out the next time I’m in the market for a rangefinder.
I was already looking to pick up the V3 this season, but after reading this – my attention to towards Z6.
This will be going on my wish list, no doubt. I really like the jolt feature on my v3 but I wish it had the red display like the Z6.
This just skyrocketed to the top of my want list for 2014! I loved the compact design and adding Jolt is a great addition!
Wow this thing looks great with all the tech I would want in a range finder too. Don’t know if I need that precise yardage, but you never know. Knowledge is power.
I’m sure the V6 is better but it will be hard to improve on the V3 Jolt. I expect Bushnell to hit the advertising really hard soon.
I need me some jolt! My hands are not always the steadiest so having an alarm of sorts when the target is identified would be awesome. I want one!
Nice job, I’m really in need of a rangefinder and this one looks and sounds about as good as it gets.
Have used the v6 now for three rounds. I live in the northwest so golf this time of year is a crap shoot. This is by far the best rangefinder i have ever used. Even in dark and dreary weather this range finder has know problem picking up the flag from any distance or lighting conditions. The jolt technology and red display are really nice features. The small size and light weight make it easy to keep steady even for us senior golfers. This is a must have for the avid golfer.
Does the z6 lock on to any target?
I’m in the market for one of these and I think I’ve found the one!
Simon,
It sure does.
