Launch Pro vs EYE XO2

Short answer

The EYE XO2 costs $8,000 more for an overhead, both-handed install and a 28 by 21 inch hitting zone; the Bushnell Launch Pro is MyGolfSpy's most accurate tested unit of 2024 at $2,999 and goes outdoors. Both charge a membership to reach third-party software: Foresight+ Gold at $599/yr against Uneekor Pro at $199/yr.

At today's prices the Launch Pro is $5,704 less, with price drops on the Launch Pro at $2,295 (PlayBetter) and the EYE XO2 at $7,999 (Carl's Place).

Bottom line

The longer answer

The Launch Pro is $2,999, a three-camera photometric floor unit that sits beside the ball, runs on a battery and works indoors and out. The EYE XO2 is $10,999, a three-camera infrared unit mounted on the ceiling. Uneekor recommends a room 13 ft wide, 16 ft deep and 10 ft high, and the XO2 reads right- and left-handed players with nothing to move.

On ball data, MyGolfSpy's 2024 testing ranked the Launch Pro the most accurate unit it tested, at 1.14% total deviation. Its club data (club speed, smash factor, path and attack angle) reads from one reflective marker on the face and needs Foresight+ Silver. The XO2 measures 15 ball and 9 club metrics, and Uneekor recommends its club stickers for accurate club data. Its 28 by 21 inch hitting zone is far larger than the Launch Pro's 7 by 10.

Neither is subscription-free in practice. The Launch Pro's course play runs on Foresight Premier with Foresight+ Silver ($199/yr) or Gold ($599/yr) plus a Course Pass, roughly $500 to $1,200 a year, and GSPro or E6 Connect needs Gold. The XO2's free Player tier covers the range and full data but no courses; Uneekor Pro at $199 a year is the cheapest tier that reaches GSPro, E6 Connect or Uneekor's own REFINE courses. Course play on either runs on a Windows PC.

On GSPro, five years comes to about $7,244 for the Launch Pro ($849 a year with Gold) and about $13,244 for the XO2 ($199 for Uneekor Pro plus $250 for GSPro each year). The extra $6,000 buys the overhead install, both-handed play and the larger zone. For a dedicated mixed-handed room with the budget, the XO2 is the cleaner setup; for most other buyers the Launch Pro is the value.

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 EYE XO2

  • Showroom

    The benchmark for high-end permanent installs. Clean overhead mount with no floor clutter creates the 'professional installation' look.

  • Family Setup

    Ambidextrous setup serves households where right and left-handed players share the room. No equipment moves required.
