What Each Launch Monitor Can Measure
Game modes are mostly set by the simulator software, so they're similar from venue to venue. What separates the major launch monitors is the data they measure — here's how the units in our directory compare on ball and club data, using publicly documented capabilities only.
| Launch monitor | Ball data | Club data | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trackman | Yes | Yes | Dual radar plus an optical camera, so it reports both detailed ball-flight and club-delivery numbers. |
| Full Swing | Yes | Yes | Radar-based; the portable KIT adds a high-speed camera to capture club-delivery data alongside ball flight. |
| Uneekor | Yes | Yes | Overhead high-speed cameras capture both ball and club data, including impact views on higher models. |
| TruGolf | Yes | Varies by setup | Sold as complete simulator packages; the launch monitor included varies by package, so club-data support depends on the specific setup. |
| SkyTrak | Yes | Not publicly documented | Photometric camera focused on reliable ball-flight data; full club-delivery metrics aren't its core feature. |
| X-Golf | Yes | Not publicly documented | Runs its own combined camera-and-sensor technology; detailed measurement specs aren't publicly published. |
"Not publicly documented" means the manufacturer doesn't publish that capability or it depends on the specific package — we don't guess.
