The SkyCaddie SX550 Named the Best Handheld GPS in the MyGolfSpy 2022 Most Wanted Golf GPS Test

(RIDGELAND, MS) — SkyGolf, maker of SkyCaddie, the most trusted Rangefinder in Golf, announced that the SkyCaddie SX550 was named the Best Handheld GPS in the MyGolfSpy 2022 Most Wanted Golf GPS Test.

“Those who want a handheld golf GPS should consider the SkyCaddie SX550,” noted MyGolfSpy. “It has a large color touch screen which helps those with limited vision. Throw in yardages to all hole hazards and you have a great GPS device.”

Several features of the SX550 that stood out to the MyGolfSpy testers include outstanding visuals, large color touch screen for easy navigation, functionality, the ability to provide distances to all hazards plus landing spots with a touch of your finger, club customization, durable case, and long battery life.

“We’re thrilled that the SkyCaddie SX550 received the MyGolfSpy Best Handheld GPS award,” said Jacqui Surman, SkyGolf Chief Operating Officer & SVP of Sales. “In fact, the SX550 is the only handheld to be ranked at the top of the list out of all 23 GPS devices that were tested. SkyGolf is committed to helping golfers improve their game and have more fun and we are pleased that our innovative technology has been recognized by MyGolfSpy’s independent, unbiased test results.”

The SX550 rangefinder includes a host of patented technology and stroke-saving features developed by SkyCaddie to help its customers make better decisions on the golf course. Unlike other rangefinders, which rely on satellite imagery that is often outdated and unreliable, only SkyCaddie walks the course to capture accurate and verifiable data to provide you with distances you can trust.

All rangefinders in the SkyCaddie SX family feature the new Dynamic HoleVue with IntelliPath Technology that provides the distance to target as well as every other relevant attribute 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 fairways and other shot saving information in an instant to allow you to play like a pro and make the right club selection.

SkyCaddie’s new and patented Dynamic HoleVu feature rotates the fairway and orients the green from your current position and angle of attack as you move from the tee to the green. Now, you see everything between you and the green instantly without touching a button and get the distances you need to avoid hazards and play your best golf. So, in addition to SkyCaddie’s patented IntelliGreen technology, golfers can now see the entire hole from their point-of-view.

With SkyCaddie’s patented IntelliGreen technology, the exact shape of the green automatically rotates to match your angle of approach to provide all of the distances you need to hit more greens and avoid 3-putts. This proprietary feature gives you a chance to turn every shot into a scoring opportunity by providing front carry and back distances, depth of green, and distances to any other point on the green — simultaneously.

SkyCaddie PinPoint technology 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 SX550 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. With the SX Series, you get more information, from more places, easier and faster and without aiming!

A new Shot Tracking feature allows you to track each shot you play, which clubs you used, how far you hit them, and where you hit them from. In addition, an array of automated features such as Auto-Course Selection, Auto-Hole Advance and Auto-Zoom, make the SX rangefinders basically "touch-free" from the parking lot to the 19th hole.

More features include: IntelliGreen Pro that adds the ability to display major tiers, contours, false fronts, and mounds from your angle of approach to the green on selective courses; 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; digital scoring options for Stroke and Stableford with handicapping; and Tee Box Selection, Gender Selection, Dual Green Support with a yards or meters option, Stat Tracking and a North Indicator.

The SX550 is preloaded with over 35,000 best-in-class courses and features Wi-Fi connectivity to streamline application updates and getting the latest course updates without connecting to a computer. Simple wireless connectivity allows for the collection and storage of critical performance data in the SkyGolf 360 Cloud Service, making it available instantly to the user, instructors, or friends. 

The SX550’s little brother, the SkyCaddie SX400, gives golfers the same powerful features found in the SX550 model, in a more compact size.
