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.
Persona fitWho each one is better for
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 Launch Monitor
- Showroom
The overhead look for less than any established ceiling-mount name — about $1,000 under Uneekor's EYE XR and less than half an EYE XO2. Floor stays clear, install reads intentional, no subscription running in the background.
Both fit
