The Best Overhead Launch Monitors to Upgrade Your Golf Studio
When you’re building a golf studio that works as hard as you do, precision matters. And when it comes to accurate ball data, uninterrupted swings, and a cleaner setup, an overhead launch monitor becomes a “no-brainer” choice. As the name points out, overhead models mount to the ceiling and stay out of your way, providing constant performance and minimal interference.
At Simply Golf Simulators, we offer a full range of the best overhead launch monitors for both personal and professional golf studios. Whether you're looking to upgrade your current system or build from scratch, here’s what you should know before choosing the right one.
Why Choose an Overhead Launch Monitor?
The most obvious benefit of overhead systems is the freedom they give your swing. With no equipment on the ground to adjust, you’re free to step up and hit from any direction. This is especially useful for left- and right-handed players sharing one simulator. These monitors are also mounted securely, which means better calibration and consistency over time.
And with modern technology, overhead launch monitors don’t cut corners on accuracy. In fact, many of them are preferred by teaching pros and club fitters for how well they capture both ball and club data.
What to Look for in the Best Overhead Launch Monitors
Before diving into our top picks, let’s go over a few things to consider:
- Tracking capabilities: Ball speed, launch angle, spin rate, and club path are some of the main metrics. The more data, the better for feedback and improvement.
- Compatibility: Make sure the monitor works with your preferred simulation software, whether that’s E6 Connect, TGC, GSPro, or others.
- Space and installation: Ceiling height, room size, and lighting all play a role in the performance of your monitor.
- Budget: Quality varies across price points, but the good news is there’s something for every budget at Simply Golf Simulators.
