Bushnell A1 Slope

Our view

The A1 Slope punches above its price on two counts — the rechargeable battery at £279 is genuinely unusual and the compact form factor is the most distinctive in the Bushnell range. The honest limitation is the 350-yard flag accuracy guarantee, which is adequate for most UK club golfers but falls short of the Tour V6 Shift on a long par 5. If you play courses with long approach shots regularly, the Tour V6 Shift at £349 is the more complete choice. If compact size and rechargeable convenience matter more than maximum range accuracy, the A1 Slope is a genuinely smart buy at £279.

Pros

  • Genuinely ultra-compact — the smallest and lightest slope rangefinder in the Bushnell range
  • Rechargeable battery at £279 is excellent value — most rechargeable models cost significantly more
  • BITE magnetic mount included as standard
  • Slope-Switch makes it competition legal without buying a second device

Cons

  • Flag accuracy guaranteed to 350 yards only — shorter than the Tour V6 Shift at the same distance class
  • Standard JOLT only — no Visual JOLT red ring flash of the Tour V6 and Pro series
  • LCD display rather than OLED
  • No Bluetooth or app connectivity

Golfers who want the smallest possible rangefinder without sacrificing slope functionality. Particularly well suited to juniors, ladies, and golfers with smaller hands who find standard rangefinders bulky. Also a strong choice for anyone who wants rechargeable convenience at a mid-range price point without paying Pro series prices.
