Serious practice · family course play
Your room, built for practice — and for the whole family.
You've got a genuinely generous space and the budget's about right. Here are complete, turnkey rooms sized to your 7.5 × 4.3m — every cost on the table, down to the HDMI cable — with the overhead, clean-bay option I'd build for you at the top.
That's my recommended Eye XR room, ready-filled — every option below has its own basket too, putting turf included.
Your studio — the SimSpace bay, sized to your room
Your space
7.5 × 4.3m is a genuinely generous bay
Sized to your room, with the enclosure on the table-tennis wall around the door. Hand this straight to whoever fits it out.
Your room in 3D — tap any item for details
This is a to-scale render of your actual room — 7.5 × 4.3m, 3.0m ceiling, SIM 1 bay on the table-tennis wall, Eye XR overhead with the projector behind it. Every pulsing dot opens the exact product and price from the tables below.
Included in every room
The same complete, turnkey kit — whichever you choose
Every option below is a full room: enclosure with side netting, screen, ceiling-mounted projector, hitting mat, cabling — and a 3 × 4m strip of premium putting turf — all included. Only the launch monitor changes.







The decision
Four complete rooms, rated for what you told me
Serious practice for you, easy course play for the family. All four are proper instruments — the question is which setup fits your bay and your budget.
The Clean-Bay Overhead
Uneekor Eye XR · ~£5,999
The Simplest Room
Garmin Approach R50 · £7,637
The Portable Powerhouse
Uneekor Eye Mini · £2,999.00
The Data Room
Foresight GC3S + laptop · £7,090
Why I've put the Eye XR at the top: rear-mounted, in plain English
You asked about overhead units, so here's the honest picture. An overhead launch monitor lives on the ceiling — nothing on the floor, and no risk of catching it with a ball. There are two ways to mount one:
Rear-mounted (the Eye XR) sits behind you and looks forward toward the screen. The front of your bay stays completely open and uncluttered — nothing in your eyeline as you address the ball. For a finished room that doubles as family space, it's the cleanest, best-looking setup, and your 3.0m ceiling is ideal for it.
Front-mounted (Uneekor's XO / XO2) hangs above the front of the bay facing you. It gives a slightly larger hitting zone and even deeper club data, but the unit sits in your forward view — which is why you tend to see it in commercial and coaching bays rather than living rooms.
For your room and how you'll use it, rear-mounted is the one I'd fit. If the extra fitting-level data ever becomes the priority, the front-mounted XO2 is the step up — happy to talk through either.
You asked about putting turf — yes, and it's in
A putting green, built into every room

Proper putting turf — a 16mm premium pile — is now included in every room above as a 3 × 4m strip, laid under the enclosure and hitting mat, so the bay floor itself putts like a real green. It's a genuine, even roll that reads far more like a real green than a generic mat.
- 3 × 4m included in each room's price — no extra to add.
- Want more? It's 4m wide and cut to any length — I'll size it to your room.
- Runs under the enclosure and mat — one continuous surface across the bay.
Included as standard — tell me if you'd like a longer run.
Your wiring
First fix: leads and sockets for this room
The Uneekor Eye XR room needs one HDMI lead to the projector, a socket by the mat and a double socket at the PC. Here is what to have in place, and a brief you can forward.
HDMI from the picture source up the wall and across the ceiling to the mount position. Measure the real route (up the wall, along the frame or ceiling, down to the projector) plus about a metre spare at each end. Our 10m HDMI 2.1 lead covers most rooms. Over 10m, use an active optical HDMI lead: these work one way round, so check which end goes to the projector.
Needs a fixing point in the ceiling that takes the mount and the projector, and both cables arriving there before the ceiling is closed. The one mount choice that must be made at first fix.
One at the projector position (ceiling mount), one by the hitting position for the Uneekor Eye XR, a double socket at the PC. Give your electrician the full list of what will be plugged in.
Beside the bay or at the back of the room, in a ventilated cabinet if you want it tidy. A laptop can sit on a stand by the hitting area. HDMI from the PC to the projector position.
Sound and TV
A PC has its own sound outputs (3.5mm, USB and Bluetooth, as well as HDMI), so in a PC room the speakers connect to the PC and the projector only gets the picture. That gives full stereo and keeps the projector out of the sound path.
The AH500ST has two HDMI inputs, so a Sky box, streaming stick or games console goes in the second input and you switch between golf and TV on the projector remote. Both inputs are HDCP 2.2, so streaming services play. The projector cannot send TV sound on to speakers over HDMI (no ARC). Either the TV box's own audio output feeds the speakers, or the TV box goes through the same HDMI switch with audio extraction as the sim source.
A brief for your builder or electrician
- HDMI from the PC up the wall and across the ceiling to the mount position.
- Power at the mount position: a socket in the ceiling void or a fused spur, by the electrician.
- HDMI from the PC to the projector position.
- A double socket at the PC for the PC and its monitor.
- Dimmable lights over the hitting area on their own switch, kept off the screen; a fixing point above the hitting area for a simulator light.
Run every lead in 25mm conduit with a draw string rather than plastering it in, so any lead can be swapped later. HDMI plugs are bulky, so leave room at each end. Keep every cable out of the hitting area and off the walkway; run the long ones round the edge of the room.
First fix is the work before the walls are closed: these runs, the conduit and the back boxes. Second fix is plugging in, after decoration.
The data · every shot, measured
The practice numbers you're after
The Eye XR is photometric — it measures the ball and the club, so these are real numbers, not estimates. A live session readout on your screen.
Ball
- Ball speed
- Launch angle
- Side angle
- Backspin
- Spin axis
- Smash factor
Club
- Head speed
- Angle of attack
- Club path
- Face angle
- Face to target
Flight
- Carry
- Total
- Apex height
- Offline
- Curvature
- Descent angle
Group
- Dispersion
- Range
- Spray
- Accuracy
- Consistency
The Eye XR captures 19 parameters including full club data with no ball markings. Sample readout shown; your numbers are your own.
The courses · for the whole family
Wake up on the Old Course. Finish the day at Pebble.
On GSPro — the library I'd point you to — courses are built by the community from survey data, so the greens and runoffs are the real ones. Easy for the family to jump in and play.
A selection of what's playable — course availability depends on your launch monitor and software. GSPro, E6 Connect and TGC all run on the Eye XR.
Picture quality
1080p or 4K: what you'll actually see
The picture is only as sharp as the weakest link: what draws it (the launch monitor or a PC) and the projector. Impact screens sold as “4K” have a finer weave that shows a sharp picture cleanly, but the resolution itself comes from the projector and what feeds it.
Garmin R50 on its own
The R50 runs its courses itself and sends the picture over HDMI at up to 1080p. A 1080p short-throw projector is the right match. A 4K projector would only upscale the same 1080p picture.
Garmin R50 with a gaming PC
Connect the R50 to a gaming PC running GSPro or E6 Connect and the PC draws the picture. With a 4K-capable PC and a 4K projector, that's true 4K. GSPro needs its own licence.
PC-run launch monitors
Foresight, Full Swing and similar units run on a PC, so the PC and projector set the picture. A 4K PC and a 4K projector give true 4K; a 1080p projector gives 1080p.
Is 4K worth it? It's sharpest on a big screen viewed up close, and for films or TV on the same projector. For golf on an R50, 1080p is the honest match.
