Best rear indoor simulator set up for a Lefties and Righties??

angelo22 · November 14, 2020

Hey guys looking to build an indoor sim in my garage. I am lefty and have a lot of lefty and righty friends. I know I need something like a trackman set up that is behind so we don't have to keep switching the launch monitor back and forth. What are my other options besides trackman? Thanks in advance for any input!

Obviously if you can use a Trackman, you can use a Flightscope X3 or even Mevo+ for a low cost option.

Foresight GCHawk is an overhead and could work well.

There's a newer Korean sim that's now available in the US and is also an overhead camera based solution - Uneekor.

Full Swing Golf is another overhead option.

I'm a lefty so I was in the same situation. I demoed the Trackman & Flightscope but I think they work better as launch monitors than simulators, especially if you want to putt during simulation. For indoor simulation I think camera based technology works best. Foresight offers an overhead unit called the GCHawk but it's gonna run you $18k+ for the unit & software. I had it & sold it. Not worth the money. You need to pay an additional $4k to even get club head info. way over priced.

Best bang for the buck is the Unnekor QED. It's an overhead unit as well. They are also open to third party software such as E6 Connect, TGC 2019 & Creative Golf 3D. The only real drawback to the QED is you have to use specifically marked balls that are supplied to you by the Uneekor. No other balls work quite right. Some websites offer package deals where you can get everything you need.

There is also a newer Uneekor called the Eye XO cost about 40% more than QED, but you can use any ball you want & measures more data points on you club head. If you want the extra data points you have to put included stickers on you clubs. Kinda like HMT with Foresight. Stickers are not required for simulation though.

I've tried many simulator options over the last several years & am pretty satisfied with the Uneekor QED. I can't remember the last shot it didn't read.
