Frequently asked questions

Our site focuses on premium and luxury golf equipment. Occasionally, we will cover products that may not fit in those categories, but in the case of launch monitors we specifically exclude entry-level products.

The reason is that the accuracy & consistency of entry-level golf launch monitors is not good enough to warrant us recommending any of those products. That is not to say that some golfers do not see decent results (there are some that do).

However, for the vast majority of golfers, the data will not be accurate enough to use in order to improve their game. In the case of golf launch monitors, it costs more to get an acceptable level of precision.

Radar launch monitors are incredibly accurate & convenient when used in the proper environment—outdoors. If you mainly are using your launch monitor outdoors, radar is the way to go.

Indoors, photometric (aka camera-based) launch monitors are more accurate and consistent. Since most people are purchasing a launch monitor to use indoors with golf simulator software, you will see photometric launch monitors being recommended.

That is not to say a radar-based launch monitor will not work. There are tons of golfers who get them working indoors. However, it is much harder to do and goes against what radar is best designed for.

Radar launch monitors are built to follow the entire flight of the ball all the way to landing. This is what can make them so accurate outdoors. Once you confine them to a limited space, all sorts of problems can occur.

Photometric launch monitors are the opposite. They only need to see ball/club data through a small window to calculate metrics. This makes them great for indoor use (and also outdoors).
