Our verdict

If you play for score, a laser you can trust to lock the flag is something you’ll use on every hole. The Pro X3 gives you JOLT, which buzzes to confirm you’ve actually hit the pin, a flashing indicator that removes any doubt about whether you caught a tree behind the green, and slope you can switch off for competition. It reads distances crisply even in harsh sun. This is a laser you buy once and use for years without ever needing to upgrade again.
