If you’re building a golf simulator today, one of the biggest decisions you’ll make is which launch monitor to use. Radar vs camera, floor vs overhead, subscription vs one-time purchase… it adds up fast.
The VTrack launch monitor is designed to simplify that decision.
Built by South Korean company Laon Swingcraft, VTrack is a ceiling-mounted, camera-based system that delivers full ball and club data, impact video, and fast feedback—without requiring club stickers, marked balls, or ongoing subscription fees. It’s widely used in Korean commercial golf simulator centers and is quickly gaining traction with home golfers in North America.
In this post, we’ll break down the key VTrack features, including an important requirement: a minimum ceiling height of 106" is needed for proper installation and functionality.
Overhead Design: Clean, Safe, and Ideal for Tight Spaces
VTrack is a ceiling-mounted system, so nothing ever sits on the floor around your hitting area. That means there’s no unit to aim around or avoid with your swing, no risk of stepping on or shanking into an expensive box, and the hitting area maintains a cleaner, more professional look—especially in multi-use rooms.
For proper performance, VTrack requires a minimum ceiling height of 106". This gives the overhead cameras the correct mounting distance and angle to accurately track both ball and club data.
If your room meets that height requirement, VTrack is a great option for garages, basements, and dedicated sim rooms where you want an unobstructed hitting area and a clean, overhead setup.
Because it mounts above and in front of the hitting area, VTrack is also naturally left- and right-handed friendly—no moving the unit or reconfiguring your setup when players switch sides.
Huge 31" x 24" Hitting Zone
One of the standout specs is VTrack’s large hitting zone—up to 31" x 24".
In practice, that means you’re not locked into a tiny “sweet spot” on the mat, you can comfortably adjust your stance for different clubs, and the system is more forgiving if you move the ball slightly or share the sim with other players. For narrow simulator bays, that generous hitting area is a big deal—it lets you maximize comfort and playability without redesigning your room around the tech.
Dual High-Speed Cameras and Ultra-Fast Feedback
Instead of radar, VTrack uses two high-speed stereoscopic cameras, capable of capturing thousands of frames per second.
Those cameras track the ball and club through impact and feed that data into VTrack’s software. In real-world use, that translates to shot data appearing on screen in a fraction of a second after impact, ball flight showing up almost instantly on your simulator, and a very “connected” feel between your swing and the virtual shot. That responsiveness is crucial for realistic practice and smooth simulator rounds.
Full Ball & Club Data (With No Stickers or Special Balls)
VTrack tracks both ball and club through impact, providing a deep set of measured and calculated data points. Instead of a simple list of numbers, it gives you a full picture of how the club is delivered and how the ball flies.
Ball Data
Ball Speed
How fast the ball is traveling immediately after impact—one of the biggest drivers of total distance.
Launch Angle
The vertical angle the ball leaves the clubface relative to the ground, influencing trajectory and carry.
Launch Direction
The initial horizontal start line of the shot—shows if the ball begins left, right, or on your target line.
Spin Rate
Total amount of spin on the ball (backspin + sidespin), affecting height, curvature, and stopping power.
Spin Axis
The tilt of the ball’s spin axis that determines shot shape—draw, fade, hook, or slice.
Carry Distance
How far the ball travels in the air before it first lands—critical for gapping and approach-shot control.
Total Distance
Carry plus roll-out, showing the full result of the shot from impact to final resting position.
Apex Height
The maximum height the ball reaches during flight—helpful for dialing in window and stopping power.
Shot Curvature / Side Distance
How far the ball moves left or right relative to the target line by the time it lands.
Club Data
Club Speed
How fast the clubhead is moving at impact—key for understanding potential distance and efficiency.
Club Path
The direction the clubhead is traveling through impact (in-to-out, out-to-in, or neutral), heavily influencing shot shape.
Face Angle
Whether the clubface is open, square, or closed to the target line at impact—one of the biggest factors in start direction.
Face-to-Path
The difference between face angle and club path, which largely determines whether you see a draw, fade, hook, or slice.
Attack Angle
Whether the clubhead is moving up or down at impact—crucial for optimizing driver launch and crisp iron contact.
Dynamic Loft
The effective loft delivered at impact after shaft lean and face changes—impacts launch, spin, and trajectory.
Impact Location
Where on the clubface (toe, heel, high, low, center) the ball is struck—key for understanding gear effect and consistency.
In addition to the numbers, VTrack provides slow-motion impact video so you can see exactly how the club is delivering the ball at the moment of contact and match “feel vs real” on every swing.
And the best part?
You get all of this without special marked balls, club face stickers, or reflective dots and tape. You can simply drop a normal ball, swing, and play—a huge win for both home users and commercial environments.
Impact Video & Swing Analysis
One of the most addictive VTrack features is its moment-of-impact video.
Thanks to the high-speed cameras, VTrack can show slow-motion video of your club colliding with the ball, along with impact location on the club face.
This lets you match feel versus reality by seeing exactly where you struck it on the face, quickly diagnose pulls, pushes, gear-effect spin, and distance loss, and use visuals to coach friends, family, or students. The system is also designed to expand with swing cameras and AI coaching features, allowing you to add multi-angle video and guided training tools over time.
Compatible With Leading Simulator Software
Out of the box, VTrack includes its own toolkit and range software, giving you practice facilities, shot data, and dashboards without requiring any additional purchases.
For full simulator play, VTrack is compatible with popular third-party golf simulation software, including GSPro and E6 (and related platforms). Many users pair VTrack with GSPro for ultra-realistic course play, online tours, and a huge library of courses, using the VTrack software as the bridge between the launch monitor and the sim.
Simple Installation, With a Key Ceiling Requirement
Despite its advanced tech, VTrack is built for DIY-friendly installation, but there is one critical requirement you can’t ignore:
Your ceiling must be at least 106" high for proper installation and functionality.
That height ensures the unit can be mounted at the correct distance above the hitting surface, the cameras have the proper field of view to capture both club and ball, and overall data accuracy and impact video perform as intended.
Typical installation basics include mounting overhead at the specified height above the hitting surface, positioning the unit in front of the hitting area (similar to a projector), and completing a straightforward calibration process with on-screen prompts. If your room meets the 106" minimum ceiling height and you’re comfortable installing a projector or enclosure, you’re very likely capable of installing VTrack yourself. Many dealers also offer remote support to walk you through measurements and placement.
No Subscription Fees & Strong Value
A major appeal of VTrack is its value proposition. It’s priced as one of the more accessible overhead launch monitors in its class, there are no ongoing VTrack subscription fees required to operate the unit, and you only pay for the simulator software you want to use (such as GSPro or E6), not for the privilege of unlocking your own hardware. Compared to some overhead systems that charge annual licenses or bundle in mandatory software packages, VTrack is positioned as a high-end overhead experience at a more approachable price point.
Who Is VTrack Best For?
VTrack makes the most sense if you want a clean, overhead setup with nothing on the floor, have a ceiling height of at least 106", care about full ball and club data plus visual feedback at impact, and value fast, responsive feedback for both practice and play. It’s also a great fit if you prefer a one-time hardware purchase over recurring launch-monitor subscriptions.
Whether you’re upgrading from an entry-level radar unit or building your first premium simulator, VTrack offers a very compelling mix of performance, simplicity, and long-term value—as long as your space meets that minimum ceiling requirement.

VTrack vs ProTee VX vs Uneekor Eye XO2
VTrack Launch Monitor – The sweet spot for most home simulators. You get a clean, ceiling-mounted, markerless system with full ball and club data, impact replay, and fast response times—without paying “tour studio” prices. It’s especially practical for shared spaces, coaching, and families where you don’t want to worry about stickers or special balls.
ProTee VX – A more expensive overhead option that can make sense if you’re specifically after its ecosystem or already invested in that platform. It offers strong performance, but many golfers find VTrack delivers the core overhead experience they need at a lower total cost of ownership.
Uneekor Eye XO2 – The high-end choice with extremely deep data and advanced visuals, built for fitters and premium studios. It’s fantastic if budget isn’t a concern, but for many home golfers the added cost isn’t necessary when a VTrack install already delivers a professional, ceiling-mounted experience.
Final Thoughts
The VTrack launch monitor pulls together the wish list most sim golfers have been asking for: a clean overhead install, full ball and club data, slow-motion impact video, and no required subscription fees. As long as your room clears the 106" ceiling requirement, it delivers a truly premium launch monitor experience without jumping into “tour studio” pricing.
Compared to other overhead options like ProTee VX and Uneekor Eye XO2, VTrack sits in a very attractive middle ground. You get a large 31" x 24" hitting zone, fast and responsive feedback, and markerless tracking that works for both left- and right-handed players—at a lower price than many competing overhead systems that demand similar or higher budgets.
If you’re building a new sim or upgrading from a floor-based unit and want an overhead system that’s accurate, simple to live with, and built for long-term use, VTrack deserves to be on your short list. Make sure your ceiling height is suitable, then focus on designing the hitting area, enclosure, and projector around a launch monitor that can grow with you for years.
