Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, Precision Pro Golf was founded to create high-quality golf rangefinders, speakers, and accessories to help golfers play their best. The initial MO was simply to produce the cheapest rangefinder on the market but over the past couple of years, it has diversified more into the mid-price range and has attempted to innovate, creating some really interesting concepts and features. I have been sent the Precision Pro Titan Elite to see if it can sit amongst the best rangefinders in golf.
Starting with the technology, the Titan Elite features an aluminum shell and a best-in-class IP67 dust and waterproof rating. Now that might not mean much to you, but rest assured, it provides ample protection, and very little will penetrate its defenses. The Titan Elite integrates with the Precision Pro Golf app which gives the user access to features such as Find My Precision Pro, MySlope, and front, middle, and back yardages. And that is just the start…
In terms of the visual, I think understated would describe it best. The case is a simple yet premium-looking all-black, and the rangefinder itself is a slick black-and-grey combo with fairly subtle branding on the magnet.
However, rangefinders aren’t really about looks for me, it’s all about the functionality, and the Titan Elite possesses that in abundance. Since starting my Golf Monthly career around a year ago, I have been fortunate enough to have tested dozens of laser rangefinders and the Titan Elite might just be my favorite. Everything about this laser seems to hit my requirements, from the comfortable sizing and hold, through to the lightning-quick reaction times. If I was being really fussy, I might ask for 7x magnification, but the 6x the Titan Elite comes with is so good, I wouldn’t have noticed unless I had pre-read the specifications.
The screen display is very intuitive and only presents the really necessary information, whereas some rangefinders can try to offer too much leaving you with a cluttered visual. The Titan Elite's visual target lock feature provides brilliantly fast feedback with no frustrating lag times and creates a ripple effect around the aiming reticle, as well as a pulse vibration to notify you of a successful zap.
Connecting the Titan Elite to the Precision Pro app unlocks a whole host of interesting additional features, my favorite of which is the front, middle, and back GPS yardage. Having played at a relatively high level, I have found the flag-only capabilities of a laser rangefinder somewhat limiting at times when you need to know how much green you have to work with either in front or behind, but with a simple calculation, the Titan Elite will provide all of this information which is hugely beneficial for course management.
The act of connecting to the app is probably the simplest I have experienced on a device of this type. It is as simple as opening the app, clicking “connect new Titan Elite” and you are done, nothing more. This really enhances the user experience as most of us have enough to worry about pre-round without overly complex and time-consuming pairing processes.
Further features include a very strong built-in magnet, slope mode (which can sync up with MySlope to cleverly personalise the slope measurement to your particular ball flight), and the brilliant Find My Precision Pro feature which will send you a notification if you happen to leave your rangefinder behind at the course.
I have to say, I feel that Precision Pro has nailed it here. Some seriously innovative features, but not at the expense of good old-fashioned functionality. At an RRP of $399.99, and with performance to rival any of the major players, there is some serious value to be had here.
