Rangefinders, GPS, launch monitors and home simulators — the tech that measures your game and hands you real numbers.
SportScreen Vanish review: the sim enclosure that rolls into the ceiling and hands the garage back
A retractable screen, side baffles and all, that winches up into a ceiling housing and leaves the floor clear for a car. It is the first enclosure built for the reason most people never build a simulator — and it does not solve your ceiling height.

Exputt RG review: the putting simulator whose 44-inch mat decides what it can teach
A putting-only simulator that nobody in the gear press takes seriously, aimed at the part of the game that quietly falls apart between October and April. What it measures, what it only pretends to, and the mat dimension that explains both.

TruGolf APOGEE review: the sim unit that gives you your floor back
TruGolf's overhead unit clears the hitting bay completely and replays your impact in slow motion after every shot. The catch is a ceiling you have to drill into and a software list with one name on it.

Foresight made real accuracy a garage purchase. The no-subscription pitch has one asterisk.
Three cameras reading the ball directly, close enough to a GCQuad that most amateurs will never find the gap, and no fee to keep using the hardware. The room it needs and the software it talks to are what decide whether it fits your build.
By Ben Marsden
Bushnell built the device that ends the two-gadget dance. Almost nobody buys it.
A laser and a GPS in the same viewfinder, so you look once instead of twice. The category has never really sold, and the reason is not the one golfers give.

Full Swing KIT review: the tape measure decides this, not Tiger
Tour pedigree, TGL on ESPN, and radar good enough to be checked against a Trackman outdoors. It also wants eighteen to twenty feet of room, which rules out most of the garages people buy it for.

Trackman iO review: the launch monitor you buy once, and the four reasons most people shouldn't
The most expensive thing in our catalogue, and it earns the badge. But there are 4 honest reasons it isn't the right buy for most home sim rooms — and the rung below gets a lot of people most of the way.

Mileseey GenePro G1 review: the rangefinder that swallowed a GPS watch
A laser with a full touchscreen GPS bolted to the side. Absurd on paper, genuinely clever in the hand, and let down by its own app.
By Ben Marsden
Bushnell Launch Pro review: the unit that dragged fitting-grade data into the garage
Foresight Sports measurement for roughly a third of a GCQuad, indoors or out. The hardware is close to unimpeachable — the thing you need to think hard about is which subscription tier you'll actually live on.
By Marcus Bell
Square Golf launch monitor review: the camera unit that undercuts the radar crowd
A newer camera-based monitor that reads club data the budget radar crowd can't — and never charges a subscription. Here's honestly where it fits in a home sim.
By Marcus Bell
Bushnell Phantom 3 review: the no-faff GPS that costs less than a wedge
No watch on your wrist, no laser to aim, no subscription — just big, glanceable yardages and slope in your pocket. For a lot of golfers that's the whole job, done, for the price of a decent round.

Shot Scope V5 review: the golf watch that tracks your whole game for free
Most game-tracking systems hand you tour-level stats and then charge you monthly to keep them. The V5 gives you strokes gained and 100-plus stats on your own game with no subscription, ever — and that changes the maths entirely.

Garmin Approach S50 review: the golf watch most people should actually buy
The S50 takes nearly everything that made Garmin's flagship special — the gorgeous AMOLED screen, slope-adjusted distances, shot tracking, wrist heart rate and Garmin Pay — and sells it for a lot less than double. For most golfers, this is the sweet spot.
By Jordan Hale
FlightScope Mevo+ review: the launch monitor home simulators are actually built around
While the internet argues about budget camera units and the Garmin R10, the Mevo+ quietly became the default brain of the serious home sim — tour-grade radar heritage, full ball and club data, and out-of-the-box simulator connectivity. It needs room to breathe, and the add-ons push the real cost up.
By Jordan Hale
Precision Pro NX10 review: the laser that makes Bushnell money hard to justify
The NX10 is the first sub-flagship laser in years that genuinely rivals a top Bushnell — perfect-scoring accuracy, fast pin-lock and switchable slope for roughly half the money. Here's what you give up, and who should still spend more.
By Jordan Hale
Shot Scope LM1 review: has the launch monitor finally got cheap enough?
The LM1 drags personal launch-monitor pricing down to impulse-buy territory, and for most golfers chasing a real carry number, that is the whole story.
By Jordan Hale
Garmin Approach Z30 review: the connected laser, if you're already a Garmin golfer
Garmin's first new rangefinder in years beams the pin number to your watch. Whether that's worth the money depends entirely on what's on your wrist.
By Tom Whitaker
Bushnell Tour V7 Shift review: the rangefinder most golfers should buy
Fast, confident lock-on, switchable slope and Bushnell's reliability — the all-rounder that tops the lists, and the one we recommend by default.
By Jordan Hale
Garmin Approach R50 review: the all-in-one launch monitor with the screen built in
Three cameras and a 10-inch touchscreen in one box, so you can run a full sim session with no laptop, phone or projector wired in. Convenient — at a serious price, and with a few rough edges.
By Tom Whitaker
Bushnell Pro X3+ review: the laser other lasers are measured against
It's the rangefinder you see in more tour bags than any other. Here's whether the premium price holds up.
By Jordan Hale
The launch monitor that broke the price floor
Personal launch monitors used to start in the thousands. This one moved the floor — and dropped the subscription.
By Tom Whitaker
Garmin Approach S70 review: the GPS watch that does almost everything
A gorgeous AMOLED screen, full course maps and a battery that lasts. Is this the only piece of distance tech most golfers need?
By Jordan Hale
SkyTrak+ review: the home-sim launch monitor that earns its price
Near sim-grade accuracy without the five-figure outlay. If you're building a serious garage setup, this is where the numbers get real.
By Tom Whitaker
Garmin Approach R10 review: it will tell you your 150 club carries 138
Pocket radar, app simulator and on-course tracking for the price of a good rangefinder. Still the best-value way to find out what your game actually does.
By Ben Marsden
Rapsodo MLM2 Pro review: the camera-and-radar unit that punches above its price
Video, real numbers and simulator play for the price of a posh rangefinder. The step-up launch monitor, honestly assessed.
By Tom Whitaker
Nikon Coolshot Pro II review: the laser for anyone whose hands aren't steady
The best glass in the mid-tier and stabilisation that genuinely works. The smart-money laser if you play in dull light or your hands aren't rock steady.
