It sits to the side of the ball, needs almost no room depth behind you, and delivers directly measured ball and club data without requiring a ball flight path to the screen. If you're tight on space or building a compact indoor bay, this changes the equation. Directly Measured Data Every Number Is Measured, Not Guessed Spin rate, spin axis, swing path, face angle, dynamic loft, and angle of attack are all directly measured by the camera at impact — not calculated from radar or estimated by algorithm. Club marking stickers are required for club data and are included. Dotted balls are included and improve spin accuracy, though standard balls work for other metrics. No Subscription Pay Per Round. Not Per Year. No annual fee — the Square runs on a token model for its own course library. One token per hole. Your purchase includes 1,000 tokens, which covers 55+ full rounds. Topping up costs less than $1 per round. GSPro, E6 Connect, and Awesome Golf connect natively with no extra Square fee — you only pay for the simulator software subscriptions you choose. Full Short Game Chips. Flops. Putts. All Tracked. The Square tracks putting — which most launch monitors at this price point do not. Chipping and flop shots are also captured reliably. If you're serious about playing complete simulator rounds rather than just full swing practice, this matters. Adjustable green speeds and realistic putting mode are built into the Square Golf app. Native Software Integration GSPro. E6. Awesome Golf. No Extra Fee. The Square connects to GSPro, E6 Connect, and Awesome Golf natively — no additional Square subscription required to unlock third-party software. You pay for the simulator software you choose, nothing on top. GSPro requires a Windows PC and a GSPro subscription. Ready to build a full sim? See the Square SwingBay® Package → The Next Step Want Indoor and Outdoor? Meet the Omni. The original Square is indoor only. If you want the same camera-based accuracy at the range and on the course, the Square Golf Omni adds outdoor capability, an on-unit display, and expanded data without a subscription. View the Square Golf Omni → Complete the Setup Build a Full Simulator Around the Square The Square Golf SwingBay® Package pairs this launch monitor with our SwingBay® enclosure, SwingTurf® mat, short-throw projector, ceiling mount, and 25' HDMI — everything confirmed compatible, single order. No room depth behind the ball required. View the Square SwingBay® Package What is the Square Golf Launch Monitor? The Square Golf Launch Monitor is the only photometric (camera-based) launch monitor under $1,000. Every competitor at this price uses Doppler radar — Square uses a high-speed camera and machine vision technology to directly measure ball and club data at impact. It sits to the side of the ball with no room depth requirement behind you, tracks 12 data points including directly measured spin and club data, supports putting, and connects to GSPro, E6 Connect, and Awesome Golf with no extra Square fee. At $699 with 1,000 tokens included — enough for 55+ rounds — it's a genuine alternative to radar units for golfers building compact indoor setups. See the Square SwingBay® Package → Why Choose the Square Golf Launch Monitor? The key limitation to know upfront: the Square is indoor only — it requires a controlled lighting environment and is not designed for outdoor use. If outdoor range sessions are important to you, the Garmin R10 or Rapsodo MLM2PRO handle both. Club marking stickers are required on the shaft for club data — included in the box but worth noting. For left and right-handed players sharing a setup, the unit will need to be repositioned since it mounts to the side. Dotted balls deliver better spin accuracy but standard balls work for most metrics, and TaylorMade TP5 Pix balls have also been tested to work well. Want to take the platform outdoors? The Square Golf Omni adds that capability at a higher price point. The Square is the right pick for golfers who want photometric accuracy and full short game support in a compact indoor setup — without a subscription tying features to an ongoing fee. Not sure if the Square fits your room and goals? Ask our SimSquad → Frequently Asked Questions How much space do I need for the Square Golf Launch Monitor? Much less than a radar unit. The Square sits to the side of the ball — 42cm away and 15cm in front — and doesn't need 6–8 feet of clearance behind the hitting position. Your main space requirement is enough room to swing your longest club. This makes it one of the best options for tight garages, basements, and rooms that can't accommodate the depth needed by radar launch monitors. How do Square Golf tokens work? Tokens are used for course play in the Square Golf app — 1 token per hole. Your purchase includes 1,000 tokens, which covers 55+ full 18-hole rounds. When you need more, you can top up directly through Square at less than $1 per round. The driving range, putting practice, and Closest to Pin modes do not consume tokens. GSPro, E6 Connect, and Awesome Golf are not token-based — they use their own subscription models and connect natively with no extra Square fee. Does the Square Golf Launch Monitor work outdoors? No — the Square is indoor only. It relies on a high-speed camera and infrared LED technology that requires a controlled lighting environment. Direct sunlight interferes with the camera. If you want outdoor use with the same photometric technology, the Square Golf Omni is built for both indoor and outdoor environments. If outdoor range sessions matter to you on a radar unit, the Garmin R10 and Rapsodo MLM2PRO both work outdoors. Do you need the dotted balls and club stickers? For club data (swing path, face angle, dynamic loft, angle of attack), yes — metallic sticker markers on the club shaft are required. These are included in the box. For spin data, the included dotted balls deliver the best accuracy, but standard balls still work for ball speed, carry, launch angle, and other metrics. TaylorMade TP5 Pix balls have also been tested to work well for spin accuracy. Does the Square Golf work with GSPro? Yes — and with no extra Square subscription fee. The Square connects to GSPro natively over Bluetooth. You only need a GSPro subscription and a Windows PC running Windows 10 (version 2004 or later) or Windows 11. E6 Connect and Awesome Golf also connect with no additional Square fee. This is a meaningful difference from the Rapsodo MLM2PRO, which requires an active Premium subscription to unlock GSPro access on top of the GSPro fee. Does the Square Golf Launch Monitor support putting? Yes — putting is tracked and supported in the Square Golf app with adjustable green speeds and a dedicated putting practice mode. This is one of the Square's genuine differentiators at this price point. Neither the Garmin R10 nor the Rapsodo MLM2PRO tracks putts directly — both use pre-set putting parameters for simulator rounds. How does the Square compare to the Garmin R10 and Rapsodo MLM2PRO? All three are $699 or less. The key differences: The Square is the only one with photometric camera technology, the only one that supports putting, and the only one with no annual subscription for third-party software. The R10 has the longest battery life (10 hours) and works outdoors. The MLM2PRO adds dual-camera swing video and is also outdoor-capable. If your priority is a compact indoor setup with full short game support and no ongoing subscription, Square wins that specific brief. Still not sure? Tell us your setup and we'll give you a straight recommendation → Is the Square Golf Launch Monitor worth it? For indoor-only use, yes — especially if space depth is limited, putting matters, or you want to avoid ongoing subscription costs. Photometric camera technology at this price point is genuinely rare. The tradeoffs are real: indoor only, club stickers required, unit needs repositioning for left vs right-handed players. But for the right use case — compact indoor bay, complete simulator rounds — there's nothing else at this price that matches it.
