This is the model index for every golf rangefinder covered on this site. For each unit: which battery it takes, how its slope function is switched off, and links to the pages that answer the questions owners actually ask about it. Everything here is drawn from manufacturer documentation and support pages — we do not test rangefinders in hand.
Use it two ways. If you already own a unit, find it below and jump straight to the case, battery and troubleshooting pages that apply to it. If you are choosing between two, the battery and slope columns are the two specifications that change how the thing behaves week to week — and the two that manufacturer marketing pages bury.
At a glance
- 26 models from Bushnell, Callaway, Precision Pro, Blue Tees, Garmin, Nikon and the main Amazon brands.
- Almost every laser unit here runs on a single CR2 3V lithium cell. The exceptions are the Garmin Approach lasers, the Blue Tees Series 3 Max+, the Precision Pro Titan Slope and Titan Elite and Bushnell’s Phantom GPS units, which are USB-rechargeable, and the older Bushnell Pro X7, which takes a CR123A.
- A physical slope switch with a visible indicator is what makes a unit easy to prove tournament-legal. Models where slope hides in a menu or a mode button are legal with slope off, but harder to demonstrate.
- Prices move a long way between seasons — see deals and Black Friday for what a good price looks like at each tier.

Callaway
Callaway 300 Pro
Battery: CR2 3V lithium, battery door.
Slope: Side slope on/off switch; slide to off.
Compact vertical laser unit, so most universal cases fit it. Indicator is visible when slope is on.
Guides: Callaway 300 Pro cases, battery finder, slope on/off, meters to yards.
Precision Pro
Precision Pro’s current line is the NX9 Slope, NX10 Slope, Titan Slope and Titan Elite; the NX7 is sold out on its own site. Which one to buy, NX9 vs NX10, and what happened to the free battery program are on which Precision Pro rangefinder to buy.
Precision Pro NX10
Battery: CR2 3V lithium, battery door.
Slope: Flip the side slope switch to off — no colour showing means off.
Precision Pro sells a replacement battery door for around $8, which is unusual and worth knowing before you write a unit off.
Guides: battery finder, slope on/off, meters to yards.
Precision Pro NX9
Battery: CR2 3V lithium, battery door.
Slope: Side slope switch.
Replacement door sold separately, same as the NX10.

Slope: NX7 Pro: slope switch.
Sold out on Precision Pro’s own site as of September 2026 and a frequent used-market buy; the NX9 Slope is now the budget end of the line.
Guides: battery finder, slope on/off, meters to yards.
Precision Pro R1 Smart
Battery: CR2 3V lithium.
Slope: Move the switch so no green is visible.
Precision Pro’s own guide uses the green indicator as the tell: visible means slope is on.
Guides: battery finder, slope on/off, meters to yards.
Precision Pro Titan Slope / Titan Elite
Battery: Built-in rechargeable, USB-C, about 50 rounds per charge.
Slope: Physical slope switch; switched off, Precision Pro states it is in tournament-legal mode.
Magnesium alloy body. The Titan Elite adds GPS front, center and back distances through the free Precision Pro app; see Titan Slope vs Titan Elite.

How to read this index
Battery. A CR2 is a 3-volt lithium photo cell about the size of half an AA. It is not rechargeable in its standard form, and the rechargeable “RCR2” cells sold alongside it run at a different voltage — several manufacturers warn against them. If a model here says “built-in rechargeable”, there is no cell to replace; when it stops holding charge, that is a warranty or service question, not a battery question.
Slope. Under the Rules of Golf a distance-measuring device is allowed, but measuring elevation change is not — so in competition the slope function has to be off. Units with a physical switch and a coloured indicator make that easy to show. Units where slope is a menu setting or a mode press are equally legal with it off, but you have nothing external to point at. See are rangefinders legal in golf for the rule itself.
What is not here. We do not list maximum range or magnification in this index. Published maximum ranges are measured against highly reflective targets and are not comparable between brands, and repeating them without testing would give them more authority than they deserve. Where a spec genuinely changes how a unit behaves — battery, slope control, whether a magnet is built in — it is on the model’s own line above.
Which golf rangefinders take a CR2 battery?
Nearly all of them. Every Bushnell Tour and Pro laser in this index runs on a single CR2 3V lithium cell, as do the Callaway 300 Pro, the Precision Pro NX7, NX9 and NX10, the Blue Tees Series 2 Pro, Series 3 Max and Series 4 Ultra, and the Nikon Coolshot line. The exceptions are the Garmin Approach Z82 and Z30, the Blue Tees Series 3 Max+, the Precision Pro Titan Slope and Titan Elite and Bushnell’s Phantom GPS units, which charge over USB, and the older Bushnell Pro X7, which takes a CR123A.
How do I know if my rangefinder has slope?
Look for a switch on the side of the housing with a coloured mark under it, usually orange, red or green. If the colour is visible, slope is on. Bushnell calls this Slope-Switch; Precision Pro and Blue Tees use the same idea. If there is no switch, check whether the model has a Mode button that cycles through slope — the Bushnell A1 Slope and most Amazon-brand units work that way.
Is a model missing from this list?
Probably because we could not confirm its battery type or slope control from a manufacturer source. We would rather leave a model out than publish a specification we cannot stand behind — a wrong battery type costs you a wasted order. Tell us which model and we will add it once we can source it.
Which of these are still current models?
The Bushnell Tour V7 Shift is the current Tour flagship, with the V6 Shift a generation behind and the V5 Shift two behind. Nikon has wound down its golf laser line, and the Precision Pro NX7 is sold out on its maker’s site; Precision Pro’s current line is the NX9, NX10, Titan Slope and Titan Elite. Everything else in this index is either current or recent enough to be widely available used. Previous-generation flagships are where the deepest discounts land — see the deals page.
Can I use these battery and slope details to buy used?
Yes, and they are the two things to check first. A used unit with a built-in rechargeable cell carries the risk that the cell is near the end of its life with no way to replace it. A used unit taking a CR2 can be brought back with a $4 battery. Our used buying guide has the full inspection checklist.
Where do the specifications come from?
Manufacturer support pages and help centres — Bushnell Golf’s per-model support articles, the Blue Tees help centre, Precision Pro’s product guides and Garmin’s manuals — plus battery retailers’ fitment listings where a manufacturer does not state the cell type. Each linked guide lists its own sources.
The two spares worth keeping
Whichever model you own from the index above, two things fail long before the laser does, and both are cheap enough that keeping a spare beats discovering the problem on the first tee.
A CR2 3V lithium cell. Almost every unit on this page runs on one. Bushnell recommends a name-brand cell and says the first battery lasts a few months; owners typically get a season out of one. The reason brand matters here is the current spike on each ranging pulse — budget cells sag under it and start dropping readings while still testing as charged. The exception list is short: the Garmin Approach Z82 and Z30 and the Blue Tees rechargeables have no cell to swap. Per-model detail is on the rangefinder battery guide.
A case, if the original is gone. Golf lasers are about 4 to 4.6 inches tall and universal cases list 5 inches or more inside, so almost anything fits — only fitted silicone skins are model-specific. Which case suits which body is in the golf rangefinder case guide.
How this page was made. Written by The Golf Rangefinder editorial team from manufacturer specifications, published manuals and aggregated owner reviews. We do not test rangefinders in hand and we never claim to. Last checked: September 2026. Prices change; the retailer page is the final word.
