Your room, budget and game in, the launch monitor that suits you out, checked against each maker’s own placement figures. Emailed to you if you like.
A golf launch monitor measures every shot (ball speed, launch angle, spin and carry) and feeds the simulator software. Here you’ll find launch monitors from Garmin, FlightScope, Foresight Sports, Square Golf, SkyTrak, Uneekor, Full Swing, Golfzon and TruGolf, from small units for the driving range to tour-level cameras.
The type matters for your room. Camera units such as the Garmin R50 and Foresight GC3 sit beside the ball and work in a room 4.2m long. Radar units sit behind the ball and need more length: the FlightScope Mevo Gen2 needs 5.2m and the Full Swing KIT 5.85m. Answer six questions in the Launch Monitor Finder, compare them in our UK launch monitor ladder, or see them in a complete golf simulator package.
Golf Launch Monitors — Compare the Best in the UK
A golf launch monitor is the brain of any simulator setup. It tracks ball speed, launch angle, spin rate, carry distance and club data with precision that was once only available to tour professionals. We stock golf launch monitors from every major brand — Foresight Sports, FlightScope, Full Swing, Golfzon and Uneekor — covering every budget from under £200 to over £20,000.
Radar vs Photometric — Which Golf Launch Monitor Is Right for You?
Radar-based launch monitors (like the FlightScope Mevo Gen2) use Doppler radar to track the ball after impact. They’re portable, work outdoors on the range, and connect to a phone or tablet. Ideal for ball speed monitor use and practice sessions.
Photometric (camera-based) monitors (like the Foresight GC3 and GCQuad) use high-speed cameras to capture the ball at impact. They deliver the most accurate spin data and are the gold standard for professional fitting, coaching and simulator use.
Overhead units (like the Uneekor EYE XO2) mount above the hitting area and track both ball and club. Perfect for permanent simulator installations where portability isn’t needed.
Budget Guide for UK Golf Launch Monitors
Budget launch monitors (under £500) offer basic shot tracking — ball speed, carry distance and launch angle. Great for casual practice.
Mid-range (£1,000-£4,000) is where serious home golfers invest. The FlightScope Mevo Gen2, Square Golf OMNI and Garmin R50 sit in this tier, offering full ball data and simulator compatibility.
Premium and advanced launch monitors (£5,000 and up) like the Foresight GC3 launch monitor, GCQuad and Falcon deliver professional-grade accuracy with full club data, used by PGA Tour coaches and commercial fitting studios.

Simulator Software Compatibility
Most golf launch monitors work with popular simulation platforms such as GSPro, E6 Connect and Awesome Golf, and each maker has its own app; Foresight’s software is now Foresight+. Check each product page for software compatibility: some monitors include courses, others need an annual subscription. See which software works with each launch monitor.
