GolfWRX Spotlight: Cobalt Q-6 Slope rangefinder
Product: Cobalt Q-6 Slope rangefinder
Pitch from Cobalt: “Designed for maximizing your game and for providing flexibility, the Q-6 Slope Rangefinder harnesses our Slope technology. Built around premium optics, an integrated, Brilliant Projection Display, a fully adjustable diopter, and housed within a waterproof (IPX7) aluminum housing on a magnesium chassis, the Q-6 Slope is our recommended rangefinder for those looking for the ultimate ranging tool.”
Our take on the Cobalt Q-6 Slope rangefinder
Cobalt Golf set out to engineer the best quality laser rangefinder and made the Q-6 Slope.
The case is extremely solid and coated with a rubber finish that is easy to grab and secure to hold on to. The optics are crystal clear, and we are big fans of the contrast of the red display against a (usually) green backdrop as well as the fact that the brightness can be adjusted on the fly.
You can see a demo of the display below.
The SmartSwitch the Q-6 Slope easily allows you to toggle Slope Mode on and off, and its abundantly clear what mode you’re in, so there’s no anxiety around compliance with USGA tournament regulations!
The aiming is easy and fast, while the PinSense and Surge technologies offering haptic feedback and ensure you lock onto the pin and not a distant tree.
We think the Q-6 Slope is a unit that you know will give you accurate distances for years to come, and the optional engraving ($30) is a nice touch.

Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.
