Choosing your Simulator Package:
It is important to pick a simulator/package that will fit in your space & of course your budget. It is recommended that your simulator room is approx. 15’ wide x 19’ deep with 9-10’ ceilings. If your ceilings are 9’ you may want to try swinging your golf clubs in that space. 10’ should not be an issue for anyone.
If your space is smaller than the recommended dimensions the Uneekor may need to be installed off center, or on a slider, The slider allows you to move the sensor back/forth for R/L handed play. The Eye Mini can be used in the narrowest of spaces, if you have room to swing the club it will work.
The simulator packages start @ approx. 18K & Includes:
-Uneekor QED Launch/ Eye Mini Monitor (unlocked) / Protee VX
-8x10.5 Premium impact screen & enclosure
-15x11’ One Piece Hitting/Putting Turf
-1080P projector
-Gaming PC
-Brackets & Cables.
(please not you can get a complete package starting at $15k if you choose a subscription-based EYE Mini package)
Software:
You will then need to add Simulator software to add to the package. We recommend GS Pro simulator software. ($325 per year).
GS Pro is the latest and greatest software with the most realistic ball physics, graphics, and course library. Currently there are over 500 courses, and that number grows weekly. The software also has the ability to create or have created your home or local course provided there is Lidar data available for it.
​
There are many famous courses available, including Augusta National, TPC Sawgrass & Pebble Beach. It also has many Canadian courses from BC, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes.
​
Protee TGC 2019 and E6 Connect are also good software options.
​
Launch Monitor Comparison:
​
EYE XO:
Mounts to the ceiling in front of golfer
Geared more toward teaching professionals, club fitters & low handicap / serious golfers.
Advantages:
No marked balls
More swing info (AOA, dynamic loft, loft/lie impact position)
Impact photo
Better software with unlimited shot history
Golfer profile history
Smaller overall simulator footprint
Disadvantages:
Costs more
Needs club stickers (for club data). Estimated data available without the face stickers.
Could get hit by skied driver (highly unlikely) Protective cases are available just in case.
​
EYE X02:
The EYE XO2 has the exact same features as the EYE XO but adds a 3rd camera allowing it to have a larger hitting area. This can be useful if your simulator space is smaller than recommended or you want to add the Uneekor trouble mat (rough & sand mat). The XO2 can be used in rooms as narrow as 13’.
QED
mounts to the ceiling behind golfer
Geared more towards everyday golfers who want to improve and play courses with buddies.
Advantages over EYE XO
Bigger hitting area
No stickers needed on clubs (optional)
Disadvantages from EYE XO
No impact picture (still has swing replay)
Less club data
Needs marked balls (black dot pattern only available from Uneekor)
Larger Simulator footprint
The Uneekor marked balls do not have as high of spin rate of a premium ball (Callaway Truvis or Taylor-made Pix work well for most users)
EYE Mini
Starting price requiring a subscription $6300 (subscription required for simulation)
Fully unlocked price with Refine+ software $9100.
Uneekor’s indoor/outdoor launch monitor
Sits on the mat beside the tee area.
Can be used in narrow spaces.
Can be used outdoors on the range.
Needs to be moved back/forth for R/L handed play.
​
The ProTee VX
The VX is new to the market, and we are thrilled to be chosen as their Calgary dealer.
The VX is an awesome addition as it does not require special golf balls or club stickers.
Its introductory price of $8800 CA makes it a great deal!
Upgrades & add ons:
There are many upgrades available for the simulators packages.
Screen size can be upgraded, projectors can be upgraded to 4K resolution, swing camera packages can be added to name a few.
You may want to add a pc monitor or 1-2 TVs to use the Software to its full ability. You will also likely want to add a computer cabinet or rolling cart.
Things you need to know:
If your simulator is in a basement or designated room, you may also want to do a built-in set up, where the screen is tied into the walls of the room. These built in set ups may cost more than the free-standing setups as they are custom orders & more labor intensive.
If your space has extremely high ceilings (14’+) we would need to look at some options to get the Uneekor LM & Projector at the height, they need to be mounted.
A retractable screen is also an option if you need to store it easily!
Please let us know if you have any questions!
