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.

Who each one is better for
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 Apogee
- Showroom
Clean overhead install with no floor clutter and an E6 ENJOY subscription bundled — fewer software seams than a piecemeal Uneekor or Foresight build. The $8K price slot is largely uncontested on ceiling mounts.
- Family Setup
Ambidextrous from install, no marked balls, and voice commands so nobody has to walk to the PC between shots. Closest thing to a 'walk in and play' premium ceiling unit.
Both fit
