Affordable unit with camera-based sensor will be a game changer for many indoor simulator consumers
CELINA, Texas — The Indoor Golf Shop, the leading manufacturer of indoor golf equipment and home to the largest selection of residential and commercial indoor golf products online, is pleased to announce that ShopIndoorGolf.com has begun distributing The Square Launch Monitor, one of the most anticipated new product releases in the sub-$1000 personal launch monitor category.
The Indoor Golf Shop staff was eager to test the unit, and to become one of the first to sell the indoor unit in North America, because The Square, which retails for $699.99, is the only launch monitor with a camera-based sensor below a $2000+ price point.
The product’s attractive price point makes the camera-based sensor system a unique and enticing option for indoor use. Most other launch monitors on the market in this price category use radar sensors to estimate ball flight and club metrics, which have limitations indoors. Being a camera-based unit and optimal for indoor use, the Square sits next to the golfer while radar-based units sit behind the golfer and require more space.
“The value proposition of any launch monitor begins with how accurate it is, and The Square is definitely turning the heads of consumers who want an affordable indoor simulator set up,” said Rene Delgado, Founder and CEO of The Indoor Golf Shop. “If you can’t get reliable measurements like spin metrics, you can’t expect reliable carry distance numbers or an accurate representation of the curvature and trajectory of your simulated ball flight. Every other feature takes a back seat.“Our team tested the Square Launch Monitor against other units and found that it performs solidly with almost instant simulated ball flight on the simulator screen and key metrics like carry distance, launch angle, spin rate, and ball speed. For the price, it’s an excellent contender for indoor simulator use, especially for those customers looking to stretch their budget.”
The UK-based company behind The Square has made the setup process simple. PC, iOS, and Android device users can expect to get The Square up and running within five to 15 minutes. The device connects seamlessly via Bluetooth to a smartphone, tablet, or PC, and its intuitive menus make navigation straightforward. It also comes with a rechargeable (and removable) battery that lasts nearly eight hours.
“We are pleased to partner with the Indoor Golf Shop because they are so trusted in the indoor golf marketplace and offer consumers a truly expert perspective on all the products they sell,” said Square Golf CEO Jinhyuk Yang.
“If early sales and consumer excitement of The Square is any indication of what a game changer this product is in the indoor golf simulator space, we are in for a very exciting 2025 and beyond.”
For a fully optimized experience, The Square Golf Launch Monitor integrates easily with third-party GSPRO and E6 software (which require licenses or subscriptions), while the included software package includes the following features in practice mode:
• Driving Range: Choose between two visual environments with options for shot tracers
• Data Mode: Detailed statistical breakdown of ball and club data
• Ball Data Tracked: ball speed, launch angle, launch direction back spin, side spin, apex, carry distance, total distance
• Club Data Tracked: Users can attach a stick to the shaft of your clubs to track the following: club path, angle of attack, dynamic loft, face-to-target
• Closest to Pin: Target practice with adjustable distances
• Putting Practice: Adjustable distances and green speeds
The Square also allows simulated rounds on 10 software-designed-created golf courses with game play for up to four players and the ability to select different tees and pin positions.
Another unique feature included with purchase of The Square Golf launch monitor is the proprietary Swing Stick, a 27-inch-long device with a standard golf grip and a rectangular, mirrored device on the opposite end.
The Swing Stick allows owners to use The Square launch monitor in spaces without nets or high ceilings. It can be used in any the launch monitor’s modes, like Driving Range, Putting, or Simulated Golf, for versatile functionality in almost any indoor setting, which is a huge advantage for those who want the fun, data and game improvement possibilities an indoor launch monitor provides but lack the space for a full simulator installation.
The Square lets users subscribe to a pay-as-you-go model instead of a monthly subscription and offers 1,000 credits (which allows you to play about 55 rounds) with purchase of the unit.
The Indoor Golf Shop elevates all phases of the indoor golf buying experience through a full slate of end-to-end solutions, including guidance for purchasing and installing premium simulator brands like Trackman, buying DIY components and complete simulator configurations for different sized spaces.
