About Virtually Scratch
We started Virtually Scratch so that golfers who practice at home can confidently choose a launch monitor that uniquely suits them.
Our first tool was the launch monitor quiz, for golfers choosing their first launch monitor who don't know which one suits them. The quiz names the one that fits their room, their budget and the way they play.
Then we built a tool for each step after the quiz:
- Room size calculator: for golfers fitting a simulator into a basement, garage or spare room, the launch monitors that will work in it.
- Compare tool: for golfers down to two or three launch monitors, which numbers each one measures and which it calculates, side by side.
- Cost calculator: for golfers planning a full simulator, what it will cost before they buy any part of it.
- Price drops: for golfers who know what they want, an email when that launch monitor or part goes on sale.
Our goal is for every golfer who practices at home to buy the launch monitor that fits them the first time, and to use it to play better golf.

How we make money
Virtually Scratch earns a commission when you buy a product through a retailer link on this site. The price you pay is the same.
Commissions don't decide what a page recommends. A product with no affiliate program stays in a comparison if it belongs there, and the page links to where you can buy it.
Each price comes from the retailer or maker named beside it, on the date shown, and can change after that date.
