The Leupold GX-4i has an aluminum body and technology to separate background from target readings, the ability to lock onto flagsticks with prisms and freeze distance readings, and a red OLED readout that is significantly easier to read against dark course backgrounds than competing devices that have standard LCD displays with black text. By switching to its included yellow faceplate, the GX-4i can provide slope and adjusted distances (based on temperature and altitude no less) along with club recommendations. As the GX-4i has the ability to provide this level of information, it is not approved for tournament use by the USGA (with or without the yellow faceplate attached). Don’t forget 6x magnification and flagstick range to 400 yards at +/- 1 foot.
