Better for VX
- Showroom
Ceiling-mount aesthetic with no floor clutter, ambidextrous from install. Priced well under Uneekor's EYE XO2 and Foresight's Falcon, which makes it the value pick for buyers building a premium room without GCQuad/Falcon money.
- Performance Seeker
24 data points including measured spin and full club delivery, no ProTee subscription, no marked balls. On GSPro's official list through ProTee's own connector.
- Family Setup
Ambidextrous out of the box — no equipment moves between right and left-handed players. Permanent install, but the data is approachable enough for casual household use.
