Two Decades of Dutch Engineering
ProTee United has been working on indoor golf since 2001, which in a category this young makes it one of the established names. The company is built in two halves: one side develops the hardware, the other develops the software, so the launch monitor and the simulation it feeds are designed together rather than bolted together after the fact. That shows up in a product line focused on doing one thing properly instead of covering a wide catalog.
Overhead by Design
The ProTee VX mounts to your ceiling rather than sitting on the floor beside you, and that solves several problems at once. Nothing sits in your swing path, nothing needs repositioning between shots, and right and left-handed players can step in and hit without anyone moving hardware. It reads each shot with dual high-speed cameras and machine vision, so the numbers come back in milliseconds and what happens on screen matches what you just did. For a permanent simulator room, overhead is the cleaner install.
No Subscription Fees
This one is worth calling out because it is unusual. Plenty of simulator platforms charge you every year to keep playing. ProTee does not. Once the hardware is yours it stays yours, and the ongoing cost of owning the system is not a recurring line on your card. Over the life of a home simulator, that difference adds up.
Buy the Monitor, or the Whole Room
This is where the collection splits. You can buy the ProTee VX launch monitor on its own and pair it with an enclosure, screen, mat, and projector you pick yourself. Or you can take one of the complete packages, which bundle the VX with everything needed to play, in 8x10.5 and 9x12 sizes depending on your room. There is also a DIY simulator bay package for a more hands-on build, and a version paired with the SportScreen retractable golf studio if you want a setup that folds away when you are not using it.
Software and Ball Strike Protection
The VX runs with simulation software including TGC 2019, available here separately, which opens up a large library of courses. Worth knowing: because the unit hangs above the hitting area, a badly struck shot can reach it. The housing is built with that in mind, and we also carry a one-year ball strike insurance option, which is a sensible add-on if you plan to swing hard and often.
Not Sure Which Route Fits Your Room?
The gap between buying a launch monitor and buying a full package is a big one, and the right answer comes down to your ceiling height, your room dimensions, and how much of the build you want to handle yourself. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience in the golf business, and we are glad to get on a one-on-one call to weigh that decision against your actual space. Reach out any time, and we'll help you land on a setup you will still be happy with in a few years.
