The Tour V7 Shift is aimed at golfers who want Bushnell's flagship slope laser with the clearest possible readout. What sets it apart is the dual colour OLED, showing the slope-adjusted plays-like yardage in green and the actual distance in red, along with a yardage recall button and LINK pairing with launch monitors.

In its favour
- Dual colour OLED shows slope-adjusted yardage in green and actual distance in red, so both numbers are visible at once.
- Yardage Range Recall brings back the last measured distance with a single press, handy when checking a target twice.
- PinSeeker with Visual JOLT confirms a flag lock, and the box includes a CR2 battery, case and cloth.
Good to know
- The listing does not describe how slope is switched off for competition, so check the manual before a qualifier.
- LINK pairing only adds club suggestions if you own a compatible Bushnell or Foresight launch monitor.
Our take
Reading the display
Two colours make it easy to tell which number you are looking at. Slope First Technology puts the compensated plays-like figure in the centre of the view, with the actual distance alongside. This avoids the confusion of a single figure that may or may not include slope.
The listing does not describe how slope is switched off, so check the switch arrangement before a competition.
That clarity also helps on courses where you play at different times of year, as the plays-like figure changes with the elevation of each hole while the actual figure stays fixed.
Recall and LINK
Yardage Range Recall shows your last measured distance with one press, handy when you want to check a figure after putting the laser down. LINK-enabled technology pairs with Bushnell and Foresight launch monitors to display club suggestions based on your own yardage data.
For golfers who log their carry distances with a launch monitor at the range, this link means the rangefinder can suggest a club based on real numbers rather than guesses.
Flag lock, optics and kit
PinSeeker with Visual JOLT confirms the flag. Optics are 6x with a 1,300 yard range, and the unit is listed as waterproof. The box holds the rangefinder, a veteran coin, a premium carry case, a microfibre cloth, a CR2 battery and a quick start guide.
Amazon lists a weight of 521 g, likely including packaging, and dimensions of 41 x 114 x 79 mm.
V7 Shift against the V6 Shift and A1-Slope
The Bushnell Tour V6 Shift has an external slope switch, BITE magnet and Visual Jolt but a single colour display. The A1-Slope is tiny and USB-C rechargeable. The V7 Shift is the one for golfers who want the dual colour readout and LINK.
Who might not need it
If you do not own a compatible launch monitor, LINK adds nothing. Golfers who want the smallest laser should look at the A1-Slope, and those who do not need slope at all may prefer a simple Nikon.
Verdict
Choose the Bushnell Tour V7 Shift if you want the clearest slope display, a recall button and launch monitor pairing. If an external slope switch and magnet matter most, the Tour V6 Shift is the alternative, and for a pocket laser, the Bushnell A1-Slope.
