    Good on the company for getting answers to the questions. Not often you see that nowadays!

    I'm sure we all want to see more reviews done on this launch monitor. If they can integrate awesome golf you'd have a nice sweet unit with no fees. It can only get better.

    Did you have any issues with any of these 3 tracking shots consistently? I had a Skytrak and got rid of it because when using it in GPT I would get 2 holes in and the shots would stop tracking and I'd end up re hitting 10 times. I am starting to have that same issue with my MLM2 Pro when using Awesome Golf. It's super annoying and would love to find a monitor that doesn't have this issue, or has it significantly less frequent.

    Def would love a club data break down. Stickers on the shaft is more appeasing than stickers on the club face.

    Thanks for the update. There is speculation that having the Forsight (which is also infrared) right next to the Square would interfere with the spin data being recorded. Might be best to test it against the MLMP2 and see if you have a different result? I got my Square LM yesterday and have hit around 300 balls and so far it has not missed any data.

    The R10 DONT do sidespin so it's not an option!

    I am excited for sure – hoping they ship to Canada!

    As for distance disparities for new hardware, the Garmin R10 was horribly inaccurate until its first major update months later.

    NOT the same price range with Garmin R10 ($495) or Rapsodo MLM2PRO ($500). First, the price for the Square is NOT $699. It's $666 (the mark of Satan). They do this price so the 20% VAT makes it $799. Second, it's NOT $799… It's $799 British pounds or $1075 US dollars. But NOT in the US as that includes a 66% Import Fee – making it $1,691 USD. Three times the R10/MLM2PRO.

    I can tell you the Garmin R10 does NOT require RCT balls IF you give it enough room (the disadvantage to radar), elevate it the same amount as the height of your mat, and calibrate it for each session. But at a price of $1,691, you should also include in the comparison the SkyTrac+ (open box for $2,000), which also does putting. I want to hear more about the dotted balls. What do they cost and how can I make them at home? I tried Square Support but no response. The accuracy of the MLM2PRO comes from the dual cameras. But I'd argue most golfers can't hit close enough for it to matter. And again, you're not seeing the true accuracy possible with the Garmin if the RCT balls made much of a difference. You must have AT LEAST 17 feet to the screen.

    Gramin R10 has NO subscription fee for ball data and very cool driving range use (with automatic video being taken). And I am NOT locked into the subscription for Garmin Home Tee Hero as I can easily turn it on and off for each month. No subscription fee for Awesome Golf (lifetime for $300). At my usage, the 42,000 course Garmin Home Tee Hero is cheaper than the 12 here. This is all likewise true for the Rapsodo MLM2PRO. NO subscription fee for ball data and nearly as cool driving range usage.

    NOTE: I am also currently using Golf Shot Analytics (with Garmin and Awesome profiles) and Golf Fix AI Coach.

    The clear winners are #1 Garmin R10 (for longer battery and cheap 42k maps), #2 Rapsodo MLM2PRO (#1 for most people), #3 SkyTrac+ (#1 for features), and the Square gets an F due to not working outside (no range, no course, no backyard cage). Indoor means no room for friends or projector. The last video had projector at 8.5ft right over the golfer. Will NOT work. 10ft not enough.

    YES. I would very much like to see a breakdown of the club data this unit can supply. Description says it can do swing path and face angle. Can it do ball impact location on the face?

  11. @mrsandhu19801

    Yes definitely club data! I'm looking for a cheap monitor that gives decent club data

  12. @Lee-ps3ts

    The have some club data, but no clubhead speed. I verified this with them over email.

    Square golf confirmed third-party integration with E6 is imminent with Apex & GSPRO to follow in the near future. Biggest downside at the moment is not being able to see ball and club data on the same screen with the driving range/shot tracer mode

    Great comprehensive video! Would love to see the club data video for sure.

    No third party just rules it out.

    I love that the home sim market is getting more products in this price range. Unfortunately, I’m a left and I often play with right handed golfers so the square golf sim is a no go for me. I currently own a garmin r10 and I’ll be sticking with it

  18. @justindrakesantos3648

    what if you were to use said unit at the outdoor range during the night time?

  19. @Mattcarr3

    Did they say anything about why some of the sidespin numbers didn’t show up?

    Reply
  20. @boredymcboredface8624

    Problem is – it’s STILL pay to USE… it’s just a slightly different model. It’s a lot cheaper than the rapsodo though so that’s good but I also just want to play GSpro. Unfortunately to me this is still just another greedy company (they don’t loose money on the hardware folks).

    I contacted Square Golf after your video
    Why
    Because you said it was a Full Simulator implying that it INCLUDED the Projector
    I contacted them and they asked me to send them the LINK to your video

    But, I was so UNHAPPY to find out it did not include the projector that I just gave up
    on the SQUARE all together

    Now that I know it is made by exputt. I want to add something. They can be very slow to update. The exputt has received one update this year and it was minor. It received 1 or 2 last year. You can see this on the main menu when you start it up. They also have missed a big opportunity to make exputt open source or have an API that would allow you to add putting to other monitors(There are work arounds). Don't get me wrong I really like the Exputt but those are my only two complaints. I think this is because they are a small company and probably have a small dev team which is why I think they should really look to have apis for both the square and exputt. One question how do you get more balls, and/or is there a template so you can use your own balls?

    Great content thanks.
    My exputt is arriving in the next few hours. I watched a lot of reviews but what would be good is an accuracy test of face and path if that is possible and it would be great to see if you could measure distance accurately. Can you use it outside and take the foam roller off and hit 40 & 50ft putts and measure how far the ball actually travels on a real green?

  24. @vgwizardx

    There is also a good chance of them adding multiplayer in the future because that is one thing they did add to exputt.

    Have you tried using the RPT ball with the Square? , It would have been an interesting test.

    I had the MLM2 Pro and I experienced huge issues with missed wedge shots.

    I have Rapsodo first version and PRGR for my indoor set up and both always read about 40-50 yards short and anything past 7 iron never goes higher than 140 yards, even 3 wood and driver lol. Club head speed is 30+mph slow. I wonder if this Square launch monitor would be accurate with the cameras. It is a pretty basic set up…giant black net with large range mat. I don't understand what the problem is

    Yes please make a club data video! Club data is super important.

    Seems like every time a new launch monitor comes out it’s always a waiting game for it to get better. The concept of a launch monitor is nothing new. I don’t get why a company can’t just nail it for the majority of people that just want to hit balls at home for a reasonable price without the BS. I’m an MLM2PRO user and went through the BS it’s finally at a point with a Bluetooth connector with GSPro I’m having a solid experience. Really been eyeing the eye mini lite but not sold yet.

    I took a chance on them, because of their launch / club data (based on your initial video). I don’t care much for course sim play. Mine just arrived 2 days ago. Thanks for the update!

    I REPEAT this is the future of launch monitors. their prices on coins is best ive seen. need to sell my Skycrap ASAP

    If it could be used outside I'd buy immediately. Sadly I generally use my mat/net outdoors and like having my garmin at the range.
