Who each one is better for
Honest persona fit, side by side.
Better for Falcon
- Showroom
Foresight Quadrascopic data in an overhead unit, and the ceiling unit Foresight now sells. The largest hitting zone in any ceiling launch monitor and a 2-year warranty make it the value flagship for premium rooms.
- Family Setup
Ceiling mount means no repositioning between right and left-handed players. The 59"×28" hitting zone accepts off-center stances and casual swings, more forgiving than narrower units.
Better for Spica 3
- Space-Constrained
It sits beside the ball, so nothing has to fit behind the golfer, and GolfJoy's indoor minimum is 2 yards from the ball to the screen. It packs up and moves, too.
Both fit
