PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas JingleBAM DAY 6 Golf Giveaway: New 2025 FlightScope i4 Laser Rangefinder

Groundbreaking is word thrown around a lot in the industry but sometimes groundbreaking is truly groundbreaking.  The new 2025 FlightScope i4 Laser Rangefinder includes several unique features and benefits for golfers of all skill levels including effective playing distance based on ball speed, launch angle and spin; taking into account the player's ball flight for current weather (including wind speed and direction);  personalized club recommendations, and relative landing height.

The Flightscope i4 is nothing short of cutting edge and so for my JingleBAM DAY 5 Giveaway in the PGAPappas 12 Days of Christmas I want one of you to take home your very own FlightScope i4 and take your game to the next level.

The FlightScope i4 goes far beyond the traditional slope compensation when it comes to relative landing height as complex ball trajectories are calculated  using your personal ball flight data within the current weather and wind for every club and then calculating the intersection of all possible clubs relevant to the target distance.

You might even say the new FlightScope i4 is more than just a rangefinder.  It's a revolutionary, intelligent golfing companion.  By combining cutting edge AI, real time patented FlightScope Environmental Optimizer (FS EO), and advanced ballistic calculations, the i4 elevates precision and strategy to a new standard for both professional and amateur golfers.

Ultimately the FlightScops i4 helps golfers gain a significant edge by suggesting the best club for every shot and providing hyper-accurate Effective Playing Distances related to the player's own shot data and home course conditions.  And this is going to translate to more confident decision making and lower scores on the course.

At the core of the i4's precision is FlightScope’s patented Environmental Optimizer (FS EO) which pulls real-time weather conditions including local air pressure, temperature, relative humidity, wind, and relative landing height to calculate air density and density altitude.  The FS EO helps ensure that the distance calculations are always accurate and relevant to the current playing conditions.

The result is an Effective Playing Distance that factors in the FS EO real-time local environmental conditions and uses your home location as a reference to give you the most accurate Effective Playing Distance possible for each shot.  To further refine distance readings the i4 also factors in slope, (which translates to relative landing height), wind speed and direction.  The average wind speed and other weather conditions are pulled from the closest weather station.  The wind direction is user selectable on the i4 Rangefinder. 

And on top of an FlightScope's accurate Effective Playing Distance players also receive  personalized club recommendation based on their personal launch data and the current weather and environmental conditions, providing the ultimate confidence that you have the right club for every shot.

Another unique feature is the FlightScope i4 Smart Gapping AI Tool.  Don't have a launch monitor or know your data for every club?  With the Smart Gapping AI Tool you can input one or more of data points like  carry distances, (or club launch conditions for the more technical golfers), and get an instant report with carry distance, launch angle, and spin rates for every club in the bag ensuring accurate personalized club recommendations.

If you do have access to a FlightScope launch monitor (and you know I love the FlightScope Mevo Gen2), you can complete a gapping session that stores representative shots to capture launch characteristics and distances with every club in the bag. Once complete the FS Golf App integrates the data, allowing the i4 to function like a virtual caddie.  Data from other brands' launch monitors can also be plugged into the FS Golf App manually or through a CSV file.  And unlike some systems, there are zero additional fees or subscriptions associated with the i4 or FlightScope launch monitors.
