This New Rangefinder is Elite

There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.

What We Tried:

The Precision Pro Titan Elite Rangefinder. Known for making accurate devices that provide great value, the new Titan Elite is Precision Pro’s new flagship product and it’s a got a few fancy tricks up its sleeve.

Who Tried It:

Connor. Managing Editor and resident sneakerhead. I’ve always been a GPS guy but the Precision Pro Titan Elite might be the perfect way to get me into a rangefinder. Why? It functions both as a rangefinder (for pin-hunting) and a GPS (for when I just need the front, middle or back of the green).

I won’t lie: my wife is a little confused as to why I need another device to tell me how far I am from the green. That’s probably because she knows I’m not actually good at golf. Regardless, as my game improves, so has my need for more precise yardages. Hence, the Precision Pro Titan Elite is in my bag.

Let’s talk about this new flagship rangefinder that carries a surprisingly affordable price tag.

Zebra Milled Putters: Now Comes The Hard Part

The Zebra putters comeback is officially entering what’s known as “the hard part.”

The Brand Resurrection Playbook says that while Year One is no cakewalk, Year Two is when you either establish yourself as a legit player or fade into the obscurity of a nostalgia-based money grab.

Zebra followed the Year One script faithfully. Designed by longtime Odyssey putter designer (and current head of Acushnet’s Putter R&D) Austie Rollinson, the AIT line captured Zebra’s legendary striped aura and sparked a fair amount of nostalgic buzz. 

Performance-wise, the new Zebras were solid but uninspiring. The AIT 1 and AIT 2 mallets finished in the middle of the pack in last year’s MyGolfSpy testing while the AIT 4 Anser-style blade was a lower-third performer.

They did, however, outperform entries from some pretty big names such as PING, Evnroll, Bettinardi and Scotty Cameron.

Let’s Talk About The Mental Burden Of Pro Golf

Growing up, my dream was to play on the PGA Tour. Maybe you had the same dream, too.

Did you also practice putts to win the Masters? Turn your backyard into a makeshift course? Race to the local muni after school and walk as many holes as possible until it was too dark to see?

I attended Tour events at Doral, Muirfield Village and other venues that were staples of the game. I watched golf nonstop, hoping to glean something from the game’s best. I couldn’t sleep the night before playing a tournament because I wanted to win so badly.

If I could get inside those ropes one day, I will have made it. The dream would come true.

But as time passed, the context of that dream changed. And there were several layers to that.

Major(s) News & Notes, May 30, 2024

When one comes to the quality of the bunkers and other hazards we pass into realm of much dispute and argument. Primarily bunkers should be sand bunkers purely, not composed of gravel, stones or dirt. Whether this or that bunker is well placed, has caused more intensely heated arguments outside of the realms of religion, than has ever been my lot to listen to. C.B. MACDONALD
