From the tour-grade TrackMan iO to the value Uneekor and SkyTrak units — we carry the full range.Choosing by budget
Above $13,000, you're in TrackMan territory — the best data made, and the right call for serious improvers and commercial setups. Between $7,000 and $11,000 is the sweet spot for most enthusiasts: the Uneekor EYE XO2, XO and XR deliver premium overhead tracking, while the SkyTrak Max bundle gets you an entire room. Under $5,000, the Garmin R50 and Uneekor EYE MINI prove you don't need to spend a fortune for accurate, enjoyable golf.
Choosing by space
Your room often decides the monitor. Behind-the-ball radar units like the TrackMan 4 need real depth — typically 16 to 18 feet. If you're working with a basement, garage, or any room without that runway, an overhead, ceiling-mounted unit (the TrackMan iO, or the Uneekor EYE XO2/XR) is usually the only thing that fits. We break the overhead-versus-radar decision down in detail in our TrackMan iO vs TrackMan 4 comparison.
