Leupold GX-5i Operating Instructions Manual page 25

Critical to accurate club recommendations is the known striking distance of the user with
specific clubs. By inputting the actual distance obtained with a few clubs, a specialized
algorithm accurately determines the distance obtained with others. The actual distance
obtained from an 8-iron, 6-iron, and 4-iron shot should be input as accurately as possible.
If no club distance is input, the Club Selector will automatically default to the preset
distances (130 yards for an 8-iron, 150 yards for a 6-iron, and 170 yards for a 4-iron). In
addition to the striking distances, the temperature and altitude at which these distances
were measured must be input following the distance input process. By entering the
environmental conditions in which the specific distances were obtained, the Club Selector
will be able to adjust the recommended iron according to the current conditions.
NOTE: Though we strongly recommend inputting the specific distances obtained with each
of the irons mentioned above, the specialized algorithms used by the GX-5i will make
3
logical assumptions about the remaining club(s) if specific distances are not known for
one or more of the remaining clubs.
