Frequently asked questions

Is TrackMan 4 suitable for a home simulator?

It can be, but professional systems only make sense when the room, software, service and intended workflow justify the investment.

Do club golfers need a professional launch monitor?

Usually not. Many golfers receive more value from a strong consumer or prosumer monitor plus coaching and a better room setup.

Should I choose radar or camera technology?

Radar often excels outdoors and needs depth behind and in front of the ball. Camera systems can suit tighter indoor bays. Let the environment drive the decision.

What should I confirm before buying?

Confirm the exact hardware package, measured data, software licences, support, installation requirements and total ongoing cost.
