The Three Primary Components of a Golf Simulator

It’s important to understand how a golf simulator works. Really, there are three primary components that bring the experience to life:

1. The golf launch monitor
2. The golf simulator software
3. The computer needed to run the simulator software

The golf launch monitor is the data powerhouse. It’s the backbone of any simulator setup. Using advanced technologies like high-speed cameras and radar, it captures the ball and club data that serves as the foundation for the simulated shot.

The golf simulator software, including GSPro, brings the game to life. Once the launch monitor captures the information, it sends it to the simulator software, which translates it into a visual and interactive experience. It renders ball flight, course conditions, and shot feedback with impressive realism.

The computer is the processing power behind the simulation. For advanced simulator software like GSPro, a dedicated gaming computer is required to run the very robust software. The graphics processing power and speed of the computer significantly impact the simulator’s overall performance, affecting everything from frame rates to loading times.

With that refresher on how software like GSPro works in concert with a launch monitor and computer, you should have a clearer understanding of everything you’ll need to build your simulator.

Before we explore which golf launch monitor options are compatible with GSPro, let’s make sure that you have the required computing power to pull this off.

Will GSPro Run On Both Mac and PC? And What Are the GSPro System Requirements?

GSPro is limited to PC-only use and runs exclusively on Windows. It requires a gaming-capable PC with a dedicated GPU to handle its high-end graphics and physics engine effectively.

There is no native support for Mac, iOS, Android, or gaming consoles like Xbox or PlayStation. However, Mac users can run GSPro using Boot Camp or Parallels, though performance may vary.

If you’re considering GSPro, it’s critical that you first make sure your PC will meet the minimum system requirements. Those include:

Recommended minimum hardware for 1080p play:

• 10GB free space
• GTX 3060
• 16GB memory
• Stable internet connection
• Ethernet port and/or BT depending on launch monitor

Recommended hardware for a great 1080p experience:

• 20GB free space
• RTX 3070/3060ti GPU
• 16GB memory

Recommended hardware for a great 4k experience:

• 20GB free space
• RTX 3080 (or better) GPU
• 32GB memory

As you can see, GSPro requires a robust, dedicated gaming computer. For many users, this is the biggest barrier to entry.

Next, let’s look at how the GSPro software ties together with the golf launch monitor. After that, we’ll get into which specific golf launch monitors are GSPro-compatible.

How Does GSPro Connect to Launch Monitors?

GSPro connects to golf launch monitors in two ways:

1. Native Integration
2. Open API Connection

Each method determines how data is transmitted from the launch monitor to the GSPro software, affecting compatibility, ease of setup, and overall performance.

Native Integration: Direct Seamless Connectivity

Certain launch monitors have native integration with GSPro, meaning the software is specifically designed to recognize and communicate with these devices directly. This allows for a plug-and-play experience, where the launch monitor sends shot data instantly to GSPro without requiring a third-party connector or additional configuration.

Open API: Expanding Compatibility

For launch monitors that do not have built-in GSPro integration, the software offers an Open API (Application Programming Interface), allowing third-party developers to create a bridge between the device and GSPro. This means that while the connection isn’t direct, launch monitors can still communicate with GSPro via middleware or plugins that translate the shot data into a format GSPro can process.

So while native connections offer streamlined integration with GSPro, Open API connections provide flexibility to incorporate a broader range of devices, albeit with additional setup considerations.

Launch Monitors Officially Supported by GSPro

 

 

These launch monitors are officially recognized and supported by GSPro. That means that each one of these devices is either natively integrated with the GSPro software, or that GSPro has worked with the launch monitor manufacturer to provide a seamless open API connection.

If you want the most reliable, low-latency, direct plug-and-play experience with GSPro, here are the launch monitors for your short list:
