Thanks for the well-produced, thorough review. As someone who is researching for purposes of building a home sim, I appreciate your many contributions!
Unbelievably good review! This guy knows what he’s doing. Insanely comprehensive with balanced personal feedback. Great review, great camera work. Chefs kiss!
Only available to US customers. Plus the subscription fees are a joke. People have to start letting these companies know we want an unlocked unit. It's just nonsense. Thanks for the video.
They sell an unlocked unit…
@@TheJc3080 not for $2000 bucks

great video. plus looking forward to the Uneekor Mini review too
Great content. You put together excellent scripts and reviews. Thank you for your excellence in the golf technology space. I am waiting to hear about your Uneekor Eye Mini review.
Appreciate the kind words!
Thanks a lot.... Such a good. Summary!
this review is just fantastic! Thank you for putting such a quality piece of education into the sim market out there. So helpful, truly
Do u need to pay an annual fee if u just want the ball data and no games or courses?
So spot on with the annoyance of the display going back to the ball area screen way too quickly. Makes it so you basically have to use software rather than just being able to use the launch monitor
Broken Tee TGJ membership you get 20% off so for 2700 plus 500 per year u get a GC3. It would take around 9 years for GC3 unlocked to payoff and by then not sure either work and are still relevant
Great review. Thanks much.
Great video! Thank you!
Let’s goooo, give me all the launch monitor content out there
haha I'll try and do my part!
Great content!! I am looking to buy a launch monitor but I am not sure which one is the best fit for me. I am in between the rapsodo mlm2 pro and the Bushnell launch pro. I am +2.3hcp and would use it for both indoor and outdoor use. I also don't need any simulation experience as I am just interested in getting accurate data for my shots. Have you got any advice on which I should pick? thanks a lot
I own a gc3 and have access to a private trackman facility i compared and the numbers barely differed by more than 3 yards carry
Great review. I have just bought a Mevo+ with Pro Package and nothing I saw here makes me regret that choice. The subscriptions have put me off many other launch monitors. Looking forward to the Uneekor Eye Mini review. Just saw someone else's review and at $3500+$1999 fully unlocked it looks really good.
Yeah I love the Mevo+, so definitely not a bad choice! But the reality is none of these are bad choices. They each have pros and cons and just comes down to what you're looking for.
Question: Is it easy to tie a down the line and facing camera? Does this require additional software?
Collecting likes for the Uneekor Eye Mini review!
I currently have Skytrak and the Garmin R10. Is it worth upgrading to the new SkyTrak+ or the Bushnell? My main use is working on my short game, bag mapping and testing different balls.
Im totally confused now with all these options. I have a purpose built Simulator set up in my garden and want to pick the best set up for my sons to use. i thought it would be Skytrak then Skytrak + happened and now the change in BLP. I had already resigned myself that i needed a great Projector and a good gaming PC but the choice of which system to go for has my brain mashed. Plus one Son wants a system with putting and the other isn’t bothered. All while trying to keep to a budget. Confusion everywhere Great videos btw
Would really love to see a comparison between Bushnell / Foresight and FULL SWING KIT.... Something you might will consider?
I love my BLP. Addressing a point in the video, I noticed that BLP doesn’t constantly cycle to the ready screen if balls are nowhere near the detection zone. So, I check my numbers before pulling another ball in and I don’t have a pile of balls nearby the camera zone. Seriously, there isn’t a better launch monitor out there for *almost everyone. I love it and have been elated as a BLP owner (BLP + gspro is just absolutely the best indoor combo).
Just pull a ball into the ready zone, and wait about 10-15 seconds-data will come back up
@@rdelius8512 you do you. No need to wait 10-15, the data is immediately available. The LM is focused to confirming it's ready for the next strike if a ball is anywhere nearby, and will continue serving/trying to serve the Ready message.
Are your distances accurate? I just bought mine and I’m already here trying to figure out if this thing actually works or it sucks. Coming in at least 20yards short is annoying. I throw darts with a 7i @200 I can barely break 180 with this thing lol. Even with my hardest purest swing (186 carry).
I’m probably returning it
@@MrMkeup66 do you have metallic stickers on your club face to ensure club data is accurate? Do you have the alignment adjusted with the included stick? And, lastly, are you using the same ball you play with? Incorrect spin output would prevent accurate distances, and barometer set at sea level (if you are typically significantly higher than sea level) is another. From memory, my sim software adjusts for a range vs. premium ball as well, so if you have an option to change that, may help (but may be erroneous, I’m using memory here). My distances are very accurate to my experience on the course, I have tons of confidence in the BLP personally. They have good customer support as well, I’d recommend calling if you can’t diagnose some of the above quickly without them.
I just got the ball data only but haven’t set it up yet. Can I use gold and fsx play without club data?
How Is the short chipping and putting compared to the non-existent meavo Plus?
Can you buy the ball only BLP and the upgrade to the club data one later? Or do you have to buy a whole new unit if you want to do this?
Yes you can. I believe the price to upgrade is 1500 if you do it in first 2 weeks, after that it’s 1750
I hate that it’s $500/year for what I want is to just see the data simulate on a phone or iPad while out on the range. Mevo+ it is.
@04:57 - just put your next ball in place and the screen will cycle back to your last hit numbers on it’s own …. At least that’s how the GC3 works.
If I purchase the BLP, and just add the Gold Package so I can see everything on my computer and simulator hitting screen, do I still have to purchase the Club Data ($3000 app) or can I just purchase the Gold Package? Main goal is to see everything in front of me into the hitting screen and play a few courses, but mainly see my ball flight, curvature and distance. Thanks
Can I use launch pro, with fsx play with high end MacBook Pro?
Thank you for another great video. Unfortunately, I specifically want E6 Connect software (the games for the kids is the driver) so this change rules out Bushnell pro as my launch monitor. Back to researching camera launch monitors.
It’s compatible with e6, just gotta pay. Any reason why you wouldn’t go with skytrak+ if that’s your main goal?
I don't want to pay twice for software. @@breakingeighty I wanted the accuracy that comes with Bushnell or the Eye Mini. I am gonna have to be ok without the e6 I think. I have not seen good things from people using skytrack on reddit. Open to more info though.
If you start with the ball only model, can you easily upgrade to include club data or is it a totally different unit?
Yes you can upgrade. It's $1500 if you do it in the first two weeks, after that it's $1750.
Have you played GSPro?
How long until the subscription goes up?
Can u buy the launch pro at 2000 and just the gold package for 500/year and NOT have to get the club data? So be out the door at 2500 to play sim on fsx play with ball data?
What are the specs on your computer - RAM and graphics card? What do you recommend?
is teh ball only version as accurate as the club head data version as far as shot shape?
Hey can I use blp in the dark at the range at night . Or is it sunlight only
I haven't tested it out in true darkness, but have used it in low light indoors - so I imagine it will work just fine as long as you're not golfing in pitch black.
Awesome golf runs on your phone right ? I used to play sun golf on the phone with awesome golf all the time with the Garmin
Excellent video thanks for explaining. I'm looking to purchase a BLP myself. If you dont mind me asking what laptop or computer are you using to run it?
My specs:
Acer Predator Helios 300
16GB Ram
1TB SSD.
Intel Core i7
GeForce RTX 3070
Awesome thanks. 1 more question.
Do you find yourself missing the face/lie angle data (dynamic loft, FTP, etc) from using the Mevo+ to the BLP? Or is the experience on the BLP that much better?
@@Pdunnavant4 I don't personally usually miss those things, but part of that is because I'm not in a place right now where I'm actively using them to try and really hone my golf swing. If I were, then I'd miss them more. But if just using for sim golf and general practice? It doesn't bother me not having them.
The Bushnell is fantastic for it's accuracy, screen, and the fact it takes up less space. But I wouldn't necessarily say the experience is always better, it just depends on what you're using it for. For instance, I like the FS Golf for app for Mevo+ way more than the FSX Pro app for Launch Pro. But FSX Play for simulator use, is way better than the included e6 connect that Mevo+ comes with.
So it really just depends on your personal use case. Good news is that they're both fantastic, so there's not really a wrong choice.
@@breakingeightyhow has it been working for you? Are you able to display to a TV with ease? Sorry, I just got the launch pro and now trying to figure out all the steps to set up properly. Any chance you can link to exact laptop you’re using/recommending. I’d appreciate it.
Does the bushenll need stickers if you get the club data verison?
Ok great review.. however did you forget to mention club stickers for access to club data?
When I bought BLP the basic included a 2D range. Is that no longer going to be there? ( I’m still on the gold trial) And if not, how can they pull something that was part of what was advertised as included in basic.
This is a great question. I'd assume whatever deal you got when you purchased will still hold true. But after doing a little research, it does seem on the surface that in order to get the range (FSX Pro app) moving forward you'll either need the subscription or buy FSX 2020 outright, which is $3k...
Definitely a bit confusing.
Confusing enough where I’m going to have to contact them. When I purchased a couple months ago it came with the gold package as a 30 day trial. The gold package has a 3D range. The basic package when it reverts back to after the trial was advertised as having 2D shot tracking (not a visual range) which I was fine with. (At that time of purchase they already eliminated the silver package.). Also, I had to send the unit back a few weeks after receiving it. (The monitor asked me to upgrade the software and when I did it was unresponsive and unusable. BLP had me try a reset which didn’t work and then had me send the unit back to them.) To me, Bushnell rushed their new acquisition out. Confusing and frustrating.
Great channel you produce by the way.
This guy did a thorough job trying to explain this unit. But Jesus Christ, this is worse than buying a used car. I get concerned when complication and confusion is worked into a company’s business model. Think I’ll stick with my SkyTrak.
Great vid! does the gold membership include club data for the $2000 version of the launch pro?
Nope, that's a separate expense. You'll either need to buy the "club data" unit from the beginning, or spend $1750 to upgrade it after the fact ($1500 if you do it in the first two weeks).
@@breakingeighty ah thats a bummer. but thanks for the info
So I already have a BLP and you are saying that now I have to have a $500 subscription each year for the gold? No other options at all? If that is the case and I have to have the $500 gold does that mean now I will have the simulator courses? If that is the case I also will need a gaming PC obviously for that.
What happened to the EYE MINI review you mentioned, is it still in the works, there are a number of superficial reviews on the Tube but not many in depth. The sale prices are gone but with Black Friday just around the corner and I have my fingers crossed. Even at regular prices theLong term costs for use with GSPro looks to be more cost effective if the unit is as accurate as the BLP
Written review should be up by Tuesday. Video week after thanksgiving!
I’m so close to buying one but I’m just torn. My only hiccup is having a lefty want to come play. How hard is it to move for left and right golfers? Thank you so much for your reviews
Just pick it up and move it, takes about 2 seconds
you have to move the unit for the lefty, swipe down on the screen and there is a digital toggle to switch to LH
@@dghustles1118 thank you for the info. Guess you own one? Did you purchase the club data? Is it worth it?
@@bkf22002 that’s awesome. I’m buying for sure. Did you purchase the club data? Worth it?
Yeah what he said below, have to move it, and you can tell it if its rh or lh golfer. It's not ideal, but doable. And the club data is only worth it if you think you'll actually do stuff with that data. A lot of people won't necessarily care. And if you're just looking for a simulator with correct ball data, it'll definitely do that.
How much is a Gaming PC going to run me that will provide good enough graphics without a delay. Is the PC only used for the simulator or the range as well?
PC runs it all, including range.
I’d budget $1500
PC runs it all, but there is a range on the FSX Pro app for mobile. You can probably find one that will do the job for around $1k, especially during Black Friday sales. I paid $1299 for mine and the specs are:
Acer Predator Helios 300
16GB Ram
1TB SSD.
Intel Core i7
GeForce RTX 3070
I just bought one. I’m coming in at least 20yards short on my clubs. This ain’t my first indoor rodeo so I’m not shying away on shots. Probably returning mine. 5 yards even 10 yards is fine. But to be more than 20 yards consistently is just strait stupid
you don't hit your 7i 200 bro
@@jgpratt2010 that 28 degree “7iron” lol
if you paid to unlock the Launch Pro, you can use third party software still
Friars Head lid?
I’m not paying $500 a year and then paying $250 for GS pro which is the gold standard.
Is the $500 yearly subscription good for as long as you own the device? In other words, can the company change the price at their will? Also, if you should happen to sell the device, does the subscription go with the unit or is it tied to the original user? Thanks, great video!
it's a software subscription so yes they can raise the price even when you already have the product. which IMO is a money-hungry company
Garmin r10 just saying
Without face angle, is club data reallllly worth $1500?
Subscription pricing model sucks!
Bushnell is dead to me. As a Canadian, it is so frustrating to have this region locked.
Bear in mind, subscription price can change all the time. You never know how much it charge in 2024
that is my primary concern. we have seen the prices fluctuate quite a bit in the last 2 years. not a fan of that and my primary distractor
Man this stinks to hear. It’s almost becoming a war against gspro. Not sure id go this way anymore. Way too much subscription commitment just to play gspro. Have you compared the eye mini to this unit on any videos?
Whats included with no subscription?
All of the FSX software (Pro, 2020, Play), Awesome Golf, and the ability to connect to 3rd party simulator software.
@@breakingeighty isn't that with a subscription?
What if you pay for no subscription, what's available? Do you have any way to access the data without a subscription?
@@rc07333 With no subscription you basically just get the data on the device itself with no access to any apps or software.
@@rc07333 if you don’t pay you don’t get anything , the basic subscription is 250 just got ball data
in just a second...
at 500.00/yr.. overkill!!!!... it should be free after buying a 3500.00 device. Robbers!
May be… Bushnell needs a marketing department renewal???…
To bad this is only viable for the US. Others are forced to buy a €8000 GC3 if they want anywhere near this line from Foreshite.
It’s cheaper to fly from Europe to the USA
Purchase one
And fly back
And your still better off then the cg3 by a few grand
@@mako1134 Indeed. Except geo restrictions, which vpn should sort anyway.
@@marcuszettergren8885 all I can think with the buy out is foresite have stated bushnell can’t opperate in Europe
But its clear by bushnell price structure that the technology isn’t that expensive to produce and set up one of these units in comparison
It doesn’t reflex good on foresight here in Europe
Would never buy BLP. They are too greedy with their outrageous subscription cost. I’m going with Skytrak+. Much cheaper in the long run especially with GSPro.
your a fool if you don’t go gspro
When is still breaks the bank at 3500... No ... nothing has changed in golf.
This is a 100% Apple 🍎 Household. Pc only on the Bushnell sucks.
This thing is garbage. Won't lock in on a ball unable to make it work. My set up is backyard net on grass that I keep short. Haven't been able to use it at all.
