Launch monitors · 10 of 23 publish their setup distances
What golf simulator fits your room?
One number decides it: how much length the unit needs between the ball, the screen and the wall behind you. Here it is for every launch monitor whose maker publishes it, worked out from their own setup distances. Nothing here is estimated.
Measure the length of the room first: it's what rules models out. Width and ceiling depend mostly on your swing, and only 6 of 23 makers publish a minimum ceiling at all.

Before you measure
- Length is the room's usable depth, from the screen to the wall behind you.
- A radar unit sits behind the ball and needs that space; a camera unit sits beside the ball and usually needs less.
- Ceiling height depends on your height and your driver, not just on the unit. When a maker publishes a minimum, it's in the table.
