First, I have to mention how great the customer service team is. They were answering my questions before I had even made a purchase. Thank you very much.
Second, the ProTee VX was imported from out of the US, and was still delivered faster than some products that I have delivered from a few towns away through other suppliers.
I have not had a chance to install the unit in my simulator room yet, but did a lot of investigation before I made my purchase, and I know that I made the right decision. Plus, I have already played with the ProTee at a friends house, so I have enough experience to give this review:
I feel like this unit is only getting started in terms of development, even though it has come so far already. The team is constantly improving it. The updates to the launch monitor and software are frequent, and the change log can be found on the manufacturers website. This unit doesn’t require a subscription to use, which is the first thing that I looked for when I was getting ready to make a purchase. It also doesn’t cost extra to connect to my current simulator software. It could still have a one time fee to connect to True Golf and E6, but I’m not sure because I don’t use or intend to use either of those products. My friend and I use it with GSPro. I love how accurate the ball and club data is, and how quickly the unit outputs the data. It’s like I’m playing real golf. I’ve have had the opportunity to try many other launch monitors. This one compares to, and in some cases, beats the best and most expensive of them. I love the accuracy of the putting, but the icing on the cake is the instant replay of the ball strike.
The unit itself is very sturdy and looks great too. One can tell that a lot of thought went into the design. The quality control during manufacturing is top notch. I can’t wait to get it up and running.
Unfortunately that will have to wait a bit. There was a little mishap in the sim room yesterday, and I will be rebuilding it for the next 2 or 3 months. Thankfully the box with the ProTee hadn’t moved from the living room since it was delivered, and coincidentally my kid had taken my golf clubs yesterday to get re-gripped as an early Christmas gift. So I’m only out an enclosure, screen, projector, some turf with a hitting insert, a couple of speakers, a TV, and some drywall. If the ProTee VX had been priced like how it performs, which is comparable to the top of the line units, I couldn’t afford to replace everything that was lost.
Once again, thank you to the team at Golf Sim Depot for their knowledge and amazing service. I look forward to working with you for all my future simulator wants and needs. 👍
