I try not to play favorites, but I can’t help myself sometimes. I’ve tried a lot of launch monitors over the years, and I always came back to the Bushnell Launch Pro in the end. It’s the most accurate launch monitor I’ve ever owned, and in our simulator bay, it continues to deliver quick, precise shot measurements every day for every member that comes by the facility.
Indoors, there’s no question that optical, high-speed camera-based launch monitors are the way to go (even Trackman made the optical-based Trackman iO for this exact reason), and the Bushnell Launch Pro (a.k.a. – the Foresight GC3) has been my favorite. Skytrack and Uneekor have great units, too, but there’s something so user friendly, approachable, and reliable about the Bushnell that has made me keep it around for a couple years at this point.
It works with all the major software you could want, including FSX Play, GS Pro, E6 Connect, Awesome Golf, TGC 2019, and more. With three cameras measuring the ball, you get all the metrics you need to improve your game or to play ultra-realistic rounds via the simulator software of your choosing. At nearly 100,000 swings on our unit, I can confidently tell you this thing is the real deal.
And right now, you can get it for just $1750! That’s $250 off the regular price of the ball-data-only unit, and for what we paid for our unit, that makes me incredibly jealous. You can pay to add club data down the road if you choose, but if I’m being honest, I’ve never bothered to use it at all. What matters in the end is how the ball is flying, how it spins, and being certain that the shot shape is doing what you actually executed.
The Bushnell Launch Pro does all of this easily with its superior ball data, and $1750 for a device of this precision and sophistication is pretty wild. But this is a Black Friday deal, so we aren’t sure how long it will last. Whether you are looking for an amazing gift for that golfer in your life or looking to begin building out a simulator of your own, you simply cannot go wrong with the Bushnell Launch Pro: especially not at this price!
