SkyCaddie SX400 Handheld GPS Rangefinder Preview: Powerful Features in More Compact Size

SkyGolf has released the new SkyCaddie SX400, designed to give golfers the same great features found in their popular SX500 model in a more compact size.  With a full high-definition 4-inch touch screen driven by an ultra-fast multi-core processor, the SkyCaddie SX400 joins the SX500 to deliver the most powerful way to measure yardage while providing the very "best view" in golf. 

 

Last year, SkyGolf introduced the 20th anniversary limited edition SX500, with the fastest processor, best battery life and the largest and most vivid display in the industry.  And some players on the European Seniors Staysure Tour said they no longer needed their laser or even yardage books as the SX500 provides all the information they need in a faster and easier way so they can focus on playing their best golf. 

With this newest model SkyGolf has harnessed all the advanced stroke-saving features of the SX500 for golfers wanting a more compact version of the popular device.  The graphics and interface of the SX500 and SX400 are incredibly appealing and give you every bit of information tour pros get from their caddies to play your best golf.  

The dynamic features of the SX400 are easy to access and to use, with a 4-inch, intuitive touch screen providing brilliant, outdoor readable graphics.  A host of automated features such as auto-course selection, auto-hole advance, and auto-zoom make either the SX500 or 400 almost touch free from the parking lot to the 18th green.  The brilliant HD displays of the SX Series combined with HD quality course graphics, only available from SkyCaddie, provide the best views of the most-reliable information in the game to allow you to play your best golf. 

 

The SX400 comes in a highly water-resistant, sleek & compact design that’s easy to hold and fits nicely in a cup holder of a golf cart.  Boasting an exceptional battery life of over 20 hours, or more than 3 rounds, the SX400 is ready for extended playing time just like its big-brother, the SX500.  And using multi-constellation navigation satellite systems, the SX400 and SX500 provide enhanced accuracy and overall better performance under tough conditions or tree cover.

The powerful processors in the SX500 and the SX400 drive SkyCaddie's new "Dynamic HoleVue," which automatically re-orients the entire golf hole from your position to the green as you progress from the tee.  So, in addition to SkyCaddie's patented IntelliGreen technology, golfers can now see the entire hole from their point-of-view.

Both the SX500 and SX400 feature IntelliPath Technology that provides the distance to target as well as every other relevant attributes of the course, along and beyond your target line, without aiming a laser.  So, now without wasting time to make multiple measurements, such as with a laser, you get distances instantly to all intervening hazards, end of fairway and other shot saving information in an instant to stay focused on your game. 

 

With the SkyCaddie SX500 or SX400, you can also learn quickly how far you hit each club.  Customize RangeVue by entering your personal club yardages.  Then as you play, you will see your club range next to the RangeVue ring on every part of the course for much improved shot-making to fairways, layups and greens. 

SkyCaddie PinPoint will obsolete lasers by providing the ability to get distances to the pin while getting all the benefits of IntelliGreen.  Simply enter pin sheet or zone information into the SkyCaddie SX500 or SX400 to get distances to the hole, front, center and back, plus the depth and true shape green.  And all of this information is on one screen that changes automatically based on your current position and angle of approach from anywhere on the course, whether you can see the flag or not. 

More features of the SX500 and SX400 include: Shot Distance Measurement to help track how far the ball goes and help golfers to learn club distances; Target List View to give a quick list of all the targets ahead of on the hole; and Tee Box Selection, Gender Selection, Dual Green Support with a yards or meters option, Stat Tracking and a North Indicator. 

 

The SkyCaddie SX400 retails for $299.95 in the U.S. and comes with the introductory offer of a 1-year Double Eagle Worldwide Membership (a $59.95 value). After the first year, memberships start at just $30 a year.
