Trackman iO
Space requirements
Ceiling-mounted 3'3"-3'5" in front of the tee, 9'4"-10' above the hitting surface (9'8" ideal). Minimum 8'2" screen-to-tee (Carl's Place recommends 10'+). Trackman states 'no minimum space requirements — all you need is enough room to swing a golf club'; hitting zone ~24" x 16", turf at least 6' deep x 5' wide.
- No space needed behind the ball — the unit doesn't sit on the target line behind the tee.
- 8.2 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 (12): ball speed, launch angle, launch direction, spin rate, spin axis, carry distance, side/total distances, apex height, hang time, curve, landing angle, smash factor
Club data (7): club speed, face angle (Home Complete), club path (Home Complete), face to path (Home Complete), dynamic loft (Home Complete), impact height (Home Complete), impact offset (Home Complete)
Measured vs. calculated: Indoor-optimized OERT: dual high-speed cameras (up to 4,600 fps) + 24 GHz radar + embedded infrared (810-850 nm) measure launch, spin, and club delivery directly at impact — no ball flight distance, marked balls, or stickers required; downrange flight is simulated from measured launch data. Full club data set requires the Home Complete/Commercial tier.
Accuracy: Trackman markets tour-standard club/ball tracking; 2026 reviews (golfsimulatorsource, Par Percision) rate it the top professional indoor-only unit. No published third-party error percentages.

Notes
Pricing: $13,995 with first year of software subscription included (Home, Home Complete, or Commercial). Optional hardware warranty $1,000/yr. Complete iO home builds typically $25,000-35,000. No retailer discounting.
Left-handed players: Overhead mount covers both right- and left-handed golfers from the same hitting zone without repositioning.
Indoor-only by design (embedded IR lighting; no outdoor mode). Because it measures everything at impact, it has no behind-ball or ball-flight distance requirement — the main constraints are mount height (9'4"-10') and 8'2"+ tee-to-screen. Requires wired Ethernet and a high-spec Windows PC (i7/i9, RTX 4070Ti, 32GB RAM class).
