Best Launch Monitors for Putting

Best overall

Uneekor Eye Mini

Why it's the pick

The Eye Mini reads putts, chips and full shots from the same hitting spot, and the Eye Mini records putter ball speed as part of the same ball-data set. On full shots, the cameras measure ball speed, launch angle, spin rate and spin axis with ordinary golf balls, so you can work on wedges and putts without switching to marked balls.

Uneekor also gives the Eye Mini a small screen for practice without a computer, and the free Player package shows ball and club data on Uneekor's View range. With the included club stickers, the Eye Mini measures club speed, club path and attack angle.

For other units that sit beside the ball, see our best launch monitors for a garage or room with limited depth.

What owners say

Most owner reports about this camera system are for the Eye Mini Lite, which has the same two cameras and no screen. On Reddit, 5 Eye Mini Lite owners say putting and chipping read accurately, 9 say the unit reads virtually every shot, and 10 say carry distances and ball data match their course numbers or another launch monitor. In retailer customer reviews and Golf Simulator Forum owner posts for the Eye Mini family, 11 owners praise accuracy and 4 praise reliability, while 4 say readings run off in some setups. Complaints to weigh: 11 Lite owners report short carry distances, 5 mixed Eye Mini owners report Ethernet-port or connection failures, and 6 say Uneekor support was slow or unhelpful.

Worth noting

Connecting the Eye Mini to GSPro or E6 Connect needs Uneekor's Pro membership at $199 US a year, plus the simulator's own license. Uneekor asks for at least 10 feet of ceiling height and 10 feet from the ball to the screen.

Best for a dedicated putting mode

Square Golf Home Edition

Why it's the pick

The Home Edition is the putting-specific pick because Square builds a Putting Practice mode into the Square Golf app, and owners mention putting and chipping more often than they do on most launch monitors. The unit also has a Closest to Pin mode, so the same app covers short chips and putts.

Square measures ball speed, launch direction and spin with the included patterned balls, and Square sells no subscription. The Home Edition also costs the least of the picks, so the trade-off is features and durability, not a yearly plan.

For Square Golf models side by side, see Square Golf Home Edition vs Omni.

What owners say

On Reddit, 4 Square Home Edition owners say putting and short chips read well, and 4 say missed or wild reads are rare. In Golf Simulator Forum posts and retailer customer reviews, 7 owners say chipping and putting read well, including owners using Square's putting and short-game practice modes. The trade-offs are specific: 7 Reddit owners say sunlight or bright room light stops reads, 3 report units damaged by mishits, 6 store or forum owners dislike the marked balls that come in the box, and 3 report slow or hard-to-reach support.

Worth noting

The Home Edition is indoor only, and the original unit has no club speed or smash factor. Several owners treat a protective case as necessary because the unit sits close to the ball.

Best for full putting analysis

Foresight GCQuad

Why it's the pick

The GCQuad is the pick when putting analysis matters more than price or simplicity. Foresight's putting add-on records the ball's velocity, launch direction, skid rate, time to full roll, roll RPM and impact data, so the GCQuad goes beyond whether a putt registers.

The same four-camera unit also measures full-swing ball data, club path, face angle and impact location. That makes the GCQuad the deepest option here for a player or coach who wants one unit for putting, wedges and full swings.

What owners say

On Reddit, only 9 owners or regular users were found, but the reports are steady: 3 owners trust the ball data, 3 describe the hardware as durable and dependable, and 3 value the extra club data and putting analysis. No Reddit owner reports inaccurate ball data, a hardware failure, a freeze or a return. The complaints are convenience: 2 owners note that club data needs face stickers, and 2 say the unit has to be moved for left-handed players.

Worth noting

The putting metrics need Foresight's Essential Putting Analysis add-on, which costs $2,500 US. GSPro needs Foresight+ Gold at $599 US a year, plus a GSPro license; Foresight+ Silver at $199 US a year adds Foresight's own drills and practice features.

Best for left- and right-handed golfers

ProTee VX

Why it's the pick

The VX mounts overhead and reads the whole hitting zone, so a left-handed golfer and a right-handed golfer can use the same ball position. That matters for putting because moving a side-mounted unit back and forth also moves the ball spot and aim line.

ProTee says the VX primarily measures putter launch speed and direction at impact, and ProTee Labs sends putter spin to simulator software. The VX also measures full-swing ball speed, launch angle, spin rate, spin axis, club path, face angle and impact location without club stickers.

The VX is also a pick in our best launch monitors for a garage or room with limited depth roundup.

What owners say

On Reddit, 4 VX owners say ball data is accurate and 4 report no hardware or reading problems over months of use. The main reliability complaint is a June 2026 ProTee Labs startup outage: 6 owners say the software stuck at "Looking for Updates" for a day or two until an update fixed it. On accuracy, 2 owners say club data is weaker than ball data, and 2 say driver distances read short.

Worth noting

The VX needs a ceiling 9 to 10 feet above the hitting surface, measured from the top of the mount. ProTee says a darker mat gives the best putting results because the cameras can see the ball and putter more cleanly.
