Let customers speak for us
ProTee vx is the new king of indoor launch monitors. If you want to know every detail of your golf swing then this is the one to purchase..
Couldn't be happier with the ProTee vx.
It is my second Softy. It is worth my health. I am 65. I have hit my share of fat shots. No one had any issue with smacking the club. The last straw was my friend hitting the raised back edge. The first is a little warn in the center - still usable but needs repair gluing the corners and edges after forcing it into a cut out in my mat. This new one fits like a well fitted golf glove. I could not be happier with the product. Regarding Golf Sim Depot: I have had several great experiences with Kylie upgrading from Skytrak to Uneekor EML and then Uneekor's Optix package. This Softy was derived quickly like all the other purchases.
Kyle knows sims. He worked with me and gave me insights that really helped me move my business in the right direction. My launch monitors arrived in less than a week, would highly recommend doing business with Golf Sim Depot.
Needed garmin r50 by certain date. Kyle made it happen even with holiday weekend. Would recommend to anyone looking to purchase.
I received my unit very quickly. Golf sim depot was very flexible and easy to deal with.
They will be the first place I go for any additional needs.
Respond well and fast to questions.
Great customer service. Worked with us very well.
Outstanding customer service and communication. Bought most of my setup here and they got everything to me on time or ahead of schedule.
These guys are great! Called on a Saturday and he went straight to UPS so I had the product on Monday. Very good pricing too. Highly recommend!
Had a great experience from start to finish. They were incredibly helpful with payment arrangements and splitting the invoice, which made the process smooth and stress-free. The equipment arrived quickly and in perfect condition—and their prices beat everyone else I checked. Highly recommend!
I would highly recommend consulting with and purchasing from Golf Sim Depot. The customer service is top notch. Kyle was a huge help answering any questions I had. The prices are excellent and everything shipped very quickly. I’ll be purchasing all future golf sim needs here.
