The gold standard for golf simulator projection.
A 0.69–0.83:1 throw ratio means the AK700ST mounts behind you, not in front. No shadows on the screen from your body, no risk of hitting the projector mid-swing. This is the most important feature for a golf simulator projector and most projectors don't offer it.
3840×2160 native resolution with a laser light source rated for 20,000 hours — no bulbs to replace, no color degradation over time. The image stays sharp and vivid for years without maintenance.
Bright enough to deliver a clear, vivid image even in a room that isn't completely blacked out. Most home simulator bays aren't fully dark — 4,000 lumens handles real-world lighting conditions comfortably.
A dedicated Golf Mode fine-tunes color output specifically for course simulation — accurate greens, realistic fairway textures, and true-to-life sky blues. Purpose-built for golf, not repurposed from home theater.
Auto Screen Fit automatically adjusts the image to match your impact screen's aspect ratio — 16:9, 16:10, 4:3, or 1:1. Combined with ±30° auto keystone correction, getting a perfect rectangle on your screen takes minutes, not hours. And if your screen isn't a standard ratio? No problem — the AK700ST will auto-fill to whatever shape you have. No manual tweaking required.
Designed for real-time simulation with minimal input lag so the ball flight on screen stays in sync with your launch monitor data. Fan noise is 32dB in Eco Mode — quiet enough that it won't compete with your simulator audio.

FAQ
Let customers speak for us
I’ve tested multiple overhead launch monitors looking for the best mix of accuracy, reliability, and price. Nothing has come close to the ProTee. It simply works every time. The tracking is fast, consistent, and doesn’t require constant tweaking or recalibration like others I’ve owned. The software is a standout too: intuitive, polished, and far more advanced than I expected at this price point.
For anyone building a home simulator and wanting overhead performance without spending 20k, this is the new standard. ProTee absolutely nailed it.
Have had the ProTeeVX set up for a little over a week and it's been amazing so far. Wasn't totally clear on the dimension requirements and Golf Sim Depot was super helpful through their chat feature and answered all my questions. Bundling this, the protective cover, GSPro AND getting two free swing cams is an incredible deal for a top quality product.
The best company to work with Kyle is very responsive and very easy to work with!!
I had questions about the Protee VX so I called Golf Sim Depot. Kyle answered the phone right away and answered all my questions. I am working on revamping my simulator so he also spent some time talking to me about it and some of the choices I have for the revamp. I bought the Protee VX from Golf Sim Depot and couldn't be happier.
Great company with quick delivery, prompt answers to my questions! Will highly recommend them!
I've been a business owner since I was 12 years old; customer service is the blood that flows for the success of any business. Kyle and his team at Golf Sim Depot have met those standards, from choosing the right sim for my space to following through when an issue arose with my screen. Thank you, Kyle; you have a customer for life.
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!
