Let me be clear right up front: I really love the Bushnell Launch Pro. Even at the standard $3000 (you can also get the ball-data-only for $1999 as well), this launch monitor continually amazes me with how well it tracks the golf ball, how little it misses, and how easy it is to work with. If you are looking for one of the best options to put at the heart of your simulator setup, it's hard to go ... [ Read More ]

Why the Bushnell Launch Pro at $1999.99 for ball-only tracking is awesome
I've had my Bushnell Launch Pro for quite some time now, and I can tell you without question it is the most accurate, easiest to use, most reliable launch monitor I've ever owned. And though I paid quite a bit more than what it goes for these days, I don't regret it one bit. The day will come when I part ways with this trusty launch monitor, but it won't be without some serious sadness. It has ... [ Read More ]
Garmin Approach R10 gets far more accurate with Titleist RCT balls [TESTED]
A little while back, Titleist launched the new RCT ball that is built for better radar-based tracking. We decided to give these balls a shot with the Garmin Approach R10, since Garmin has added support for the radar-specific golf balls. The question many of you are likely wondering, however, is pretty clear: do these rather-expensive balls actually help the R10 be more accurate? And after some ... [ Read More ]

Yes, you can measure putting with the Garmin Approach R10
Of the options out there for a golf simulator launch monitor, the Garmin Approach R10 is always in the conversation thanks to its simplicity and affordability. The Approach R10 retails for $599 and is on sale a lot of times. As I'm writing this right now, actually, you can snag the R10 for as little as $549 at multiple retailers. At that price, you can understand this single-radar launch ... [ Read More ]
The new SkyTrak+ is now available for purchase and shipping today
It wasn't that long ago that SkyTrak announced the long-awaited sequel to their first and original model. That first device was a game changer in the golf simulator industry, finally delivering accurate shot tracking and simulation on a sub-$2000 budget. Much has changed since that first device hit the market over 10 years ago, and now that competition is far more stiff, SkyTrak has responded ... [ Read More ]
Why the versatile Garmin Approach R10 is a great intro to golf simulators [VIDEO]
The Garmin Approach R10 is without doubt the most affordable way to get into the launch monitor and golf simulator game. While it isn't perfect and it definitely has its limitations, the R10 manages to get nearly all of the golf simulator experience to users on a wildly-low budget and is far more capable than you'd expect from a device with a sub-$600 price tag. What the Garmin Approach R10 ... [ Read More ]
Why the Garmin Approach R10 is failing to register your short chip shots
If you have a Garmin Approach R10 (or if you plan on getting one while they are on sale), there's a good chance that you'll want to use it at least part of the time as a golf simulator. And for much of the game, the Garmin R10 is actually pretty great at that. With it working on major software platforms like GSPro, E6 Connect, TGC 2019, and Garmin's own Home Tee Hero, there are ton of options ... [ Read More ]
The Rapsodo MLM2Pro launch monitor is available for ‘purchase’
Arguably the hottest, most anticipated launch monitor of 2023 is finally beginning to show up as back in stock and available for purchase again. After months of the new Rapsodo MLM2Pro being stuck in the much-expected cycle of being sold out and only available for small amounts of time here and there, it seems that production is ramping up and Rapsodo is getting this value-focused launch monitor ...

The Garmin Approach R10 is great, but it sorely needs a solid sequel
This week, Skytrak launched a long-awaited follow-up to their groundbreaking (at the time) original launch monitor. There were tons of us that owned that device and for the time, it was astounding what could be done on a more-modest budget compared with the 5-figure launch monitors that were the only ones availble back then. Fast forward to today, however, and the launch monitor landscape is ... [ Read More ]
SkyTrack Plus: take your game to the next level with the long-awaited sequel
Years in the future may look back and see 2023 as the beginning of the golf launch monitor wars and though the years following could very well be even more packed with new hardware, it sure feels like this segment is really coming into it's own not even half way through the calendar year. Following in the footsteps of the Rapsodo MLM2Pro, the recently launched Uneekor Eye Mini, and the ... [ Read More ]
