PRGR Black Pocket (HS-130A)
Space requirements
Top Shelf Golf: '4.5 feet directly behind the ball on your target line'; indoors, 'at least 6.5 feet between the ball and your hitting net'.
- 4.5 ft behind the ball for the unit itself — radar-style placement eats room depth.
- 6.5 ft minimum ball-to-screen per manufacturer/retailer guidance.
- Width: 10 ft workable offset, 14 ft for a centered both-handed bay (industry guidance — see model).
What it measures
Ball data (3): ball speed, carry distance, total distance
Club data (2): club speed (swing speed), smash factor
Measured vs. calculated: Ball and club speeds are directly measured by Doppler radar; carry and total distance are calculated from those speeds using standard ball-flight modeling (Top Shelf Golf). Also reads swing speed on practice swings without a ball.
Accuracy: Top Shelf Golf: ball/club speeds 'typically within 1-2 mph'; distances show 'about 5-10 yards of variance' since they are modeled rather than tracked to landing.
Software & subscriptions
Compatible software: No simulator software — practice/data device only.
