If you've watched TGL, the Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy team golf league that plays inside a giant simulator screen, you've seen radar launch monitor tech at its biggest scale. Here are five launch monitors worth knowing, from the one powering TGL down to home-budget options.
Full Swing KIT is the radar unit TGL runs 18 of at SoFi Center, tracking every shot for the broadcast. It's also sold as a standalone home and coaching unit for around $4,000.
Garmin Approach R10 is the budget entry point at under $600, camera and Doppler radar combined, popular for garage setups that don't need broadcast-grade redundancy.
Bushnell Launch Pro uses the same core sensor as Foresight's GC3, radar plus infrared, and is a common pick for serious home simulator builds.
Rapsodo MLM2PRO is camera-based rather than radar, cheaper than the radar units above, and popular for players who mostly want club data over ball flight precision.
SkyTrak+ blends photometric camera tracking with radar for outdoor use, sitting in the mid-range price tier with strong data accuracy.
I wrote up exactly how TGL's 18-unit Full Swing KIT array works, including the screen size and the hydraulic rotating green, over on Golf Simulator Hub: https://www.golfsimulatornerd.com/blog/what-golf-simulator-does-tgl-use-2026
