Every product we recommend, in one place.

The MLM2PRO's successor: radar plus two cameras, measured spin with RPT balls, putting in sim play. The yearly Core membership unlocks courses and third-party software.

Current-gen SkyTrak with GOLFTEC speed training. Native Mac and iPad apps (M1 or newer) are rare in this price range.

Photometric accuracy used in club fitting and tour facilities. Course play has run on a Foresight+ membership since September 2026, a yearly cost on top of the hardware.

Tiger Woods's radar-plus-camera launch monitor. Notable for credibility; less suited for serious data work than premium photometric.

Rubber or brush tees for indoor sim use. Wooden tees break on every shot; sim tees last 6–24 months.

Replaceable strike-zone insert. The strip wears out instead of the mat.

Standard mount for proper projector placement in a permanent build.

The boring stuff that makes everything work. Always needed.
