Room planner
See each one in your sim room.
The planner draws each unit to scale with your room and your swing: where it sits, and whether your swing clears the ceiling, walls and screen. Put in your room once, then switch units in the planner to compare.

Honest persona fit, side by side.
Better for Launch Pro
- Space-Constrained
Photometric beside-the-ball footprint puts nothing behind the golfer. Bushnell publishes no room size or ball-to-screen distance; our room planner puts it at 18 ft with the ball 10 ft from the screen, and about 14 at the least with the ball as close as your swing allows. Built-in display and portable shell make it viable for tight spaces.
Better for ES Eagle Sim
- Family Setup
Overhead mount means nothing on the floor to reposition between players. Course play is the add-on to budget: E6 Connect's five-course pack is a one-time $250, while the larger library is an annual subscription.
- Showroom
Ceiling install with the sensor out of sight and no membership on the hardware; course play is an E6 Connect purchase on top. The shorter one-year warranty and the smaller name are the trade against Foresight and Uneekor at this height of the market.
