Room and placement
The manual states: “You must place the launch monitor approximately 1.5 ft. (0.5 m) to the side of the tee location.” The unit adds width, not depth.
The manual text states no distance from the tee to the net, no room size and no ceiling height. Retailer guides give a net distance; this site does not use retailer figures.
Run your own room against these figures in the room size calculator, or read the room size guide.
Data and what it requires
A press-release snippet (medium) states “more than 15 ball and club metrics, including measured spin rate and spin axis”. Listed ball data: ball speed, launch angle, spin rate, spin axis, carry distance, total distance, apex height.
Club data: “In order to track club data, you need to apply one of the included club stickers to the face of the club you are using.” Club metrics listed: club head speed and smash factor.
Subscription and software
The manual states: “To play a virtual round or practice on a virtual course, you need a Garmin Golf™ membership”.
A press-release snippet (medium) names “GSPro, E6 Connect/Apex (coming soon) and Awesome Golf”. The dataset also notes a built-in simulator with a 10-inch display and 43,000+ courses (medium).
Subscription terms for every unit are side by side in the subscriptions guide.
