What independent testing reveals

Matt Saternus found the ULT-X easy to set up and quick to return yardages, with readings agreeing with other lasers in his use. Its appeal is straightforward distance checking with optional slope. Check the sliding lens position after carrying it, as storage could inadvertently switch slope off.

Read the detailed findings and test limitations

The report provides comparative playing impressions rather than a controlled accuracy dataset. Its speed comparison was with the Bushnell Pro X2 available during that original test.

The report describes the model and software available during its original test. Check the version, current software access and supplied equipment before buying; historical prices are not current purchase terms.

The 30-second verdict

Still sold by TecTecTec, but an older design than current value lasers. Newer lasers such as the PRO L5 offer 7x optics and OLED displays for less.
