GolfJoy Spica 3 Portable Launch Monitor

With triple ultra high-speed cameras, 27 ball and club data points, an on-device touchscreen, and indoor/outdoor precision, Spica 3 turns any Elite Sim Golf enclosure or practice space into a serious training studio.
Use it in a Birdie 10, Eagle 12, or Albatross 13 bay at home, then drop it in the included backpack and take the same data set to the range.
Key Benefits at a Glance
Triple High-Speed Cameras
Three ultra high-speed cameras track both ball and club in milliseconds, delivering precise launch, spin, and clubhead data with real-time feedback on every swing.
27 Ball & Club Data Points
Powered by advanced AI and a high-performance processor, Spica 3 reports 27 key metrics across ball, club, and trajectory—ideal for groove work, gapping, and coaching.
Indoor & Outdoor Ready
A rechargeable battery, 9-axis gyroscope stability, and camera-based tracking make Spica 3 equally at home in a sim bay, on the range, or in the backyard.
How Spica 3 Tracks Your Swing
Spica 3 uses triple ultra high-speed cameras paired with an on-board processing chip and AI algorithms to capture your swing from impact through early ball flight. The system measures both club and ball, then calculates a complete trajectory model in under 0.3 seconds.
Ball Data
Ball speed, launch angle, backspin, sidespin, spin rate, spin axis, launch direction, carry, roll, total distance, apex, landing angle, and more.
Club Data
Club speed, club path, face angle, attack angle, smash factor, and impact efficiency so you can understand how face-to-path and contact shape your ball flight.
Trajectory & Dispersion
Carry, roll, total distance, hang time, curve, center line deviation, and carry/roll percentages give you a true picture of how each shot performs on course.
Built-In Touchscreen & Connected Experience
Spica 3 includes a back-lit color touchscreen right on the unit, so you can:
- Start and stop sessions without reaching for your phone or laptop
- Switch modes, targets, or layouts with a tap
- Review key shot data instantly after each swing
With NFC, you can tap your phone to quickly download the GolfJoy app and sync your sessions for deeper review, training plans, and cloud storage of your data.
