Summary: not tourney legal plus just what is the average trajectory?
Comment: I am a near scratch golfer and have been playing golf for over 40 years. I recently bought the Bushnell 1500 Pinseeker with Slope. The technology behind this product is impressive but there are two points I'd like to make here.
After trying out the product this is my understanding on how the slope is calculated. The plus or minus yardage from the actual yardage is determined through some algebraic formula based on the actual yardage, the relative level you are to the target, and the trajectory on an average ball flight from that distance. Huh? Ok, what is the average trajectory of 120 yards or 210 yards for a shot? One person may hit a five iron from 150 yards and another may swing a wedge. Two different flight patterns from the same distance. I am a longer than average player to begin with. I hit a very high trajectory for most of my shots, including long irons, even when compared with players who are as long as I am. So not knowing what formula this is based on and what average trajectory, it still remains a guessing game (as to plus or minus yardage) and therefore defeats the purpose on principle. In my opinion it's a good gimmick but that's all.
Secondly, (and this is trump card for me) I was under the false impression that I could just "turn off" the slope feature during amateur tournament play thereby making the device legal. Unfortunately, this is not the case. In every aspect of golf the honor system applies but in this particular area the U.S.G.A. apparently doesn't trust you. The Pinseeker with Slope is illegal to use whether the slope feature is activated or not. Again, you cannot just turn this feature off and be in compliance.
So, If I could to do it all over again I would save the $50 and get the Pinseeker without the slope. Knowing the actual yardage is a great tool and I highly recommend the Pinseeker as it will improve your game but leave the slope.

Summary: Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 rangefinder w/slope feedback
Comment: Great product. Looks solid. Easy to use. Quick to get yardage. Took less than 5secs to usually obtain a yardage even if you have shaky hands. Battery life is great. I've used this for 8 rounds already, and haven't replaced the battery.
Cons: A little expensive.

Summary: loving it
Comment: Great when it is not windy. I like the fact that you can get yardage to the flag as opposed to just the middle or front of green with gps type devices. May be nice to have both gps and this for the complete experience.:)

Summary: A great invention!
Comment: What club to use? Often it is difficult to determine the distance to the pin due to many variables such as course markings (or lack thereof), optical illusions, etc. Now I just take a look with this rangefinder and all the guesswork is gone. It is very easy to use and seems to be very accurate. I love this thing!

Summary: A Good Friend on the Links
Comment: I recently puchased the Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 to replace my Leica Rangefinder. This is my third rangefinder and definitely the best one. It is so much easier to lock onto the flag with this upgraded rangefinder. The pinseeker locks in quickly and accurately. I used to take 3 readings to be sure I had the flag and not the background, but that's no longer necessary. The slope calculator is great too. I am a roaming golfer who rarely plays the same course twice in a season. This tool really helps me select the right club when I play from differing elevations.

This is a great supplement to my Skycaddie SG5 GPS. The GPS is fast and works great when I can't see the green, but the laser is still more accurate and lets you pick out the range to various targets like traps, lakes and woods which helps me keep from hitting into danger on courses I don't know well. I'm glad I've got it on my bag.
