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.

Better for NEO-E
- Performance Seeker
Measured spin from any ball, and club path, face angle and impact point with the sticker, in a unit that also goes to the range. The caveat is GSPro: it reaches the NEO-E only through NVISAGE's bridge, where the GolfJoy Spica 3 is on GSPro's official list for less money.
