I started my research a couple weeks ago to one day own a golf simulator and this channel is definitely the #1 source for information. It has helped me by making sure I have all the right information before I make my decision. This product looks like a winner to me. Thanks again Jay for a great video.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

That’s great to hear! My goal is always to cover it all and do it in a straight forward manner no cuts or pressure on anything. I appreciate you watching!

[@KyleW0806]

More and more options for me to choose from 🤯… love this channel!

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Amazing how much progress and options over the years! Even more to come! Thanks for watching!

[@ronlandry7672]

Would be interesting to either compare this to other models in the same price range, or even just the photometric ones…options, options, options!

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I’ll try to do some comparisons maybe on anything $2k to $4k but it might be an hour long video most are so unique ya know. It can just be a disservice if you leave things out on any of them ya know. Let me see. Thanks for watching.

[@claytonpetree527]

Looks like a home run to me. Maybe Uneekor and Bushnell will revise their pricing on the subscriptions.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I think they are all carving their spot in the market. This is unique based on what it offers some less as far as data but more as far as screen and swing cam etc. Will be interesting to see how it all progresses! Great to see how things continue to grow! Thanks for watching!

[@golfplusbeer6312]

Good overview and thanks for the info. BLP and Eye Mini still seem like better deals tbh. This doesn’t seem to offer anything more than those at similar price points and the E6 software is getting long in the tooth in 2024. Also, idk if I’d consider “light” a selling point when it comes to hardware. Compact? Yes. But when it comes to things like speakers, laptops, etc. weight tends to signal build quality versus hollow plastic.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I think the points they are going for are subscription free. Ability to have at $2999 with screen data and basic range no subscription or with perpetual e6 course. So just a unique approach I think. It will always come down to personal preferences :) Thanks for watching!

[@topgunbass]

This look fantastic. Can't wait to see some game play and accuracy testing.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Will do more coverage asap. This was thrown at my and was a first take no cuts 😂. Thanks for watching and stay tuned!

[@topgunbass]

@GolfSimulatorVideos you are putting out some cutting edge videos right now.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

@@topgunbass great to hear! I appreciate the feedback and support!

[@dialup56k]

Looks great. Another option is never a bad thing. My gripe is that all of this gets lost in translation when marketing/launching to other countries. Devices are region locked andanticompetitive exchange rates are used for pricing. This model looks great though and interested to hear more. Who's making the device if this is a licensed product? Super interesting.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I’m not sure of the regions yet. I think Trugolf is US and Canada only. GTrak was Asia and possibly more countries if you want to check them out. Thanks for watching!

[@petegalindez9961]

Are you able to choose the club you are using? I ask because it’s only showing a driver on the graphic when it shows the replay of the shots…does it always do that? That would drive me nuts…

[@evansnyder5948]

@golfsimulatorvideos have you heard of the open launch Nova? Any attempts to test it?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I have not. Usually the OEMs reach out to me but I can try to look into it. Thanks for watching

[@D.W.P...81]

Ill be keeping an eye on rhis bad boy.. looking for subscription free unit tonreplace the r10.... Just needs to tick a few more boxes. Hopefully in a few updates time 😉

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I will be sure to cover any updates and plan to do more videos like on course play etc. Soon. Thanks for watching

[@D.W.P...81]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos looking forward to it. 😊

[@DanielMuvdi]

Angle of attack?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

At least as of now, no AOA. Thanks for watching

[@mjmurphy53711608]

Any plans to review the new "square" long monitor?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I have not heard from them at this point. I will be sure I haven’t missed any emails. Thanks for watching and suggesting the coverage.

[@3ARCBA]

Are they planning to add club data in the future like face impact etc?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

They haven’t said so far. I will see if there is any indication if more data. Thanks for watching

[@squarehat]

@@GolfSimulatorVideosI would be interested in that

[@golfingmatt82]

How does this relate to the GC3? I want something i can use to play + i coach/give lessons

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Is had the same ball data and ability of built in screen but lacks some club data like path and angle of attack. It only has club speed. It does have a unique built in swing camera but it’s not yet released. Coming soon and I’ll be sure to cover. It is a big price difference as this starts at only $2,999. This does have a smaller hitting zone and no Bluetooth connectivity but WiFi is solid.

[@credit58]

How many cameras? Also what about club path? Do you know is that an option in the future?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

The unit has two camera cameras that measure the data and an external camera for swing recordings. They haven’t indicated any additional data yet but like any device I would assume it’s going to be ongoing development so it’s possible

[@petegalindez9961]

At that price, I hoped for club data…I’d prefer that over sim options/courses…

[@normsallman9308]

Will this work if you want to have a right and left hand player during same game?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Yes. Since wireless and battery you can easily move back and forth 👍

[@johnathanwetherill456]

If it cant do GSpro then it won't take off . GSpro is a must for any LM . Hopefully a connector is possible .

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Right now they said TBD. I’ll be sure to keep everyone updated. Thanks for watching.

[@jamestheproexpat]

Great device. Sadly no 200mph+ ball speed 😭😭😭😭. Surprising that my Mevo+ and GC3 both read my ball speed.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

If you are 200+ mph this is not for you 🤷‍♂️

[@jamestheproexpat]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos you’ve got some of the best launch monitor videos out there. I’m having to build one in my new house because after doing swing speed training for months, most ranges have banned me from hitting driver

[@jamestheproexpat]

Do you think you could do a video on Flightscope’s new 2024 model of the X3? I called Flightscope last week and it’s available for sale, just not on the website yet

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

@@jamestheproexpat thank you 🙏. That’s not a bad problem haha (as long as most are straight I guess haha).

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

@@jamestheproexpat interesting. I wasn’t aware either! I’ll take a look and see what I can do! I appreciate the suggestion!

[@carlosiitsuka8092]

Is this really available, ready for sale? or is it vaporware? Ordered same day as it was announced and they now state they have no inventory and don't know when it will be available Hope this video was not tied to helping them do pre-sale to get funds from people

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

That is odd, definitely not. Shoot me an email happy to dig into it for you. [e-mail]

3rd party connector for gspro?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Not at this time. It’s possible but they have not confirmed it thus far.

[@timpoos4635]

If it’s made by trugolf it likely will not be compatible with gspro

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

@@timpoos4635 it is licensed hardware not “made” by them. But, regardless they specifically said TBD.

[@timpoos4635]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos thanks for clarifying!

[@VoodooZ]

that's not a lot of metrics for that price... E6 is ancient though so not really a bonus.. but good to see another option I guess.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Yeah I think they are seeing value in the screen and no subscription. It’s all about a users preference for sure. But the chipping and putting experience I’ve had, screen, swing camera, etc seem to add some value I would think.

[@goddard565]

No club data?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Only club speed. Thanks for watching.

[@stecritchley254]

For the average golfer you can't go wrong with the garmin with gspro or awesome golf..the price of this is ridiculous...

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.

[@micdogg187]

Seems cool but the hitting area seems super small. Too much fussing around trying to get the ball in the right location it seems.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

It is a tolerable size but not large by any means. Personal preference I guess but it is nice they have a screen showing you if it’s outside of it so easy to place based on my testing so far.

[@Cullmac]

Can this be used in United Kingdom

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

This is USA and Canada only. But GTrak is doing overseas with it. Thanks for watching!

[@mrsandhu19801]

No club data

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Only club head speed. I think the goal was lower cost ball data. With the screen and ability to connect to iOS etc. opens up some doors for those wanting no subscription and camera tech. Thanks for watching!

[@Blackcloud319]

29.99? SOLD🤣 And my eyes always see Lunch Box instead of Launch Box🤣

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Is that shipping? LOL 😝

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Pretty sure that was the point with the name. It’s catchy lol

[@Blackcloud319]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos it’s very catchy! All the new toys are coming out. Of course after I bought the Skytrak+. Just my luck🤣

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

@@Blackcloud319 I have a lot of happy Skytrak+ users in the channel. Most all have positives and negatives outside of cost.

[@Blackcloud319]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos I have mostly positive than negative things about it. I use to not like it but it has grown on me with newer updates. I’m just waiting for the iPad version of the pc update to go live… I want to be able to use all those ranges and courses without buying a gaming pc🤣

[@ctuagent31]

This or Apogee?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I think if single dexterity or duel is needed will be a big factor. Also apogee with club data and path video are nice features so a lot of it will have to do with those personal preferences on what you want and of course budget. But the ball data so far on this seems solid. A few questionable putts but I need to test more and maybe they can just find out a simple adjustment like if it might need to block LA still. That’s a common thing.

[@ctuagent31]

@@GolfSimulatorVideosso this launch box would be much easier for righty/lefty players.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

@@ctuagent31 No, Apogee would be easier since it is overhead and seamless to each R/L. Launch Box could work since it is wireless and you could just move it back and forth, but not as easy to do.

[@colomboisdoido]

Square Launch Monitor is $700. Is this 5 times better?

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I haven’t tested the square so can’t speak on it. I think square is pay to play per shot, which is yet another pricing approach. Thanks for watching.

[@drakemiller7136]

No GSPRO, no club data. Not even close to what you get with an Eye Mini or Eye Mini Lite.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I think the points they are going for are subscription free. Ability to have at $2999 with screen data and basic range no subscription or with perpetual e6 course. So just a unique approach I think. It will always come down to personal preferences :) Thanks for watching!

[@cpri555]

USB A not C connectivity smh

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

You don’t need it with wireless. That’s all I have used so far and it has been solid no disconnects. I don’t disagree I would still like to see USB-C all around. Thanks for watching

[@StickyPickle-w4i]

I dont see it, $3000 for a base unit, add $499 for perputual E6, then add $300 for Apex. All on a brand new unit that will 100% have plenty of bugs to iron out. They would be far better off dropping $1000 on version 1. Theres zero reason i wouldnt buy an established name like Skytrak, Uneekor, bushnell, Flightscope, ect…at the same prices. And pssst….E6 isnt anything special, i own it and rarely use it, Awesome golf is better.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

I’m sure it won’t be for everyone. It does have some unique features though and no subscription alone is a very common ask from viewers. Will be interesting to see the demand. Thanks for watching

[@StickyPickle-w4i]

@@GolfSimulatorVideos I think it could be for many for sure, i just think starting right out established pricing for a “new” company is a poor move. I think it looks very promising especially with those chips and putts you demonstraighted.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

@@StickyPickle-w4i I will try to do some on course play with full shots etc soon.

[@Pikachu3408-o1x]

Way overpriced.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Might not be for everyone 🤷‍♂️. But the way I looked at it was for units that have no subscription, built in screen and swing camera, and solid chipping and putting it seems to have a spot in the market for some based on what some viewers are telling me. I’m just here to show everything the best I can I can’t control OEM pricing :) Thanks for watching!

[@michaellemaire7827]

Wait did I just hear it has to be setup on turf for outside use!? 🤦🏼‍♂️😂 Hard pass.

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

Correct, this is not that uncommon for some mid to lower priced units. Even a GCQUAD can be challenging on real grass with dirt hitting cameras and covering up club stickers, etc. This is where radar can shine outdoors vs camera.

[@chrisdanner8080]

Gspro connectivity??

[@GolfSimulatorVideos]

They said TBD on 3rd party software. Thanks for watching
