Who it's for
- Standard-height rooms — a 9 ft ceiling is enough
- GSPro, E6 Connect, and more players (factor in the required subscription)
- Splitting time between the sim room and the range — works outdoors
Who should skip it
- Rooms shallower than 18 ft — the radar needs ball flight behind you
- Anyone avoiding subscriptions — $99.99/yr required for full use
