Method

  • Qualifying rule: Launch monitor with a listed price under $5,000 that can feed simulator software.
  • Ranking: Data parameters listed — the count of ball and club parameters in the seller's listing (more is not always better — check spin method).
  • No lab claims. Rankings use sellers' published specifications and the prices we observed; FOREference has not tested these products.
  • Prices change. Price-based rankings reflect the date shown on each product page.
