Blue Tees' Doppler radar, released in 2026. It sits exactly 5 ft behind the ball on the target line, level with the ball, and shows each shot on its own 4.3-inch screen, so a range session needs no phone. Blue Tees lists four values as measured: ball speed, club speed, launch angle and launch direction. Spin, spin axis, carry, apex, attack angle and club path are calculated. It earns a place in a simulator catalog through software. GSPro lists the Rainmaker on its officially supported list, and TruGolf lists a Blue Tees tracking system for E6 on Windows. Both are paid separately, GSPro at $250 a year and E6 from $300 a year, and both need a Windows PC. Blue Tees' own LAUNCH app (iOS and Android) covers practice and a 3D range, not course play. A year of the Blue Tees membership comes with the unit; Blue Tees doesn't publish the renewal price, which Indoor Golf Outlet values at $79, and doesn't say whether a lapsed membership affects play in GSPro or E6. Indoors, Blue Tees asks for at least 10 ft between the ball and the screen, so with the unit 5 ft behind the ball you need about 15 ft before you count the screen. It recommends radar-enhanced balls indoors. Right- and left-handed golfers share it without moving anything; Blue Tees says it detects the hand automatically. $599.99 at Blue Tees and Indoor Golf Outlet, $599.98 on Amazon from Blue Tees' own store, as of October 2026.

Not for
- Recreational Player
Course play means GSPro or E6 on a Windows PC, each with a yearly fee; Blue Tees' own app stops at the range. The Garmin R10 plays Garmin's Home Tee Hero from a phone or tablet.
- Performance Seeker
Four measured values. Spin, spin axis, attack angle and club path are calculated, and serious practice wants them measured.
- Showroom
A $600 radar on the floor behind the golfer does not anchor a premium room.
- Space-Constrained
Blue Tees asks for 5 ft behind the ball and at least 10 ft in front of it, about 15 ft before the screen. A side-of-ball unit needs less.
