Launch Monitor
Indoor builders with shallow rooms who want a low-subscription, short-game-capable camera unit before spending SkyTrak money.
The budget launch monitor that changes the indoor-room math: a side-of-ball photometric unit under $1,000 that tracks putting and short game, includes 1,000 Square course-play tokens, and avoids a Square annual fee. Retailer documentation positions it around $699 with GSPro, E6 Connect, and Awesome Golf support through plug-ins, while Square's own course library uses a token model. It is indoor-only and less proven than Garmin or SkyTrak, but for shallow garages and basements it is the first budget pick Nina checks.
Worth buying for the right builder, but read the warnings before it lands in your cart.
