Comparison
Hawkeye vs VX
Short answer
Close in price and in role. The ProTee VX is on GSPro's official list, reads impact location and has a hitting zone nearly twice the size; the AccuGolf Hawkeye is $634 cheaper and includes a year of GSPro, but GSPro doesn't list it and it needs an NVIDIA graphics card.
At today's prices the Hawkeye is $1,807 less, with a price drop on the Hawkeye at $4,693 (Indoor Golf Outlet).

Bottom line
The longer answer
Both are ceiling-mounted, indoor-only camera units that read right- and left-handed golfers, and neither maker charges a subscription of its own. The VX is $6,500 at every retailer we track. The Hawkeye is $5,866 at AccuGolf (without its optional projector) and at Indoor Golf Outlet.
The VX uses two high-speed cameras over a 25 by 21 inch hitting zone and needs no marked balls or club stickers. Its club data covers speed, path, face angle, face to path, attack angle, dynamic loft, lie angle and impact point. The Hawkeye's two cameras run at 1,000+ frames per second over a 24 by 12 inch zone and report club speed, path, face angle, face to path, attack angle and dynamic loft; AccuGolf's published list doesn't include impact location or lie angle.
GSPro is the main difference. The VX is on GSPro's official supported list and connects through ProTee's own connector. The Hawkeye is not on that list: AccuGolf supplies the connection itself and includes the first year of GSPro with every unit, after which renewals are GSPro's $250 a year. Neither has course play of its own. Both reach E6 Connect through a $2,500 licence for their brand in TruGolf's store, and only the VX is listed by Creative Golf. AccuGolf also specifies an NVIDIA graphics card — it says other GPUs won't work — and a dual-port network card in the PC.
AccuGolf asks for a 9 ft ceiling, 14 ft of depth, and a room 12 ft wide for one-handed play or 16 to 17 ft wide for both; ProTee asks for at least 9 ft of ceiling. On GSPro over five years the Hawkeye is about $7,116, or $6,866 counting the year AccuGolf includes, against $7,750 for the VX. For most buyers the VX's official GSPro support, larger zone and impact-location data are worth the $634. The Hawkeye is the pick if the lower price matters more and your PC already has an NVIDIA card.

Better for VX

Ambidextrous out of the box — no equipment moves between right and left-handed players. Permanent install, but the data is approachable enough for casual household use.
