The Top 10 BEST Golf Simulators of 2026!!!
Welcome back to the channel, guys. Today, we’re going to be reviewing the top 10 golf simulators on the market. Let’s get right into it. Now, before we get into our number 10 ranked launch monitor, first we need to talk about who are we ranking this for? Because obviously, if I’m doing rankings for a PGA Tour Pro, that’s going to be different than rankings for your average weekend warrior. So, to clarify, this top 10 ranking is going to be for people who are from 5 to 15 handicaps and love to have people over. Those people coming over could be 30 handicaps. they could be plus five handicaps. Now, with that out of the way, let’s get into number 10. So, coming in at number 10, we have a new addition within the last year or so, and that is the Square Golf launch monitor. Now, has a very low initial starting price. And the good news is if you pair it with GS Pro, there are no subscription fees. So, I really do love this launch monitor. I think it’s extremely accurate. I think for its price point and what it offers, it is a great device. The only reason I’m not ranking this higher is because one, it’s kind of a pain in the butt for lefties and righties because it sits beside you. You have to move it left and right. So, if you want to have people over, it’s not a very sturdy device and it’s just a little bit of a pain where other budget launch monitors allow lefty and righty play very easily. And then another reason it’s not ranked as high as some of these other budget launch monitors is because while the accuracy is great for a budget launch monitor, it’s not as good as those devices in the $2 to $3,000 range. So, it kind of leaves it in a weird spot. I think if you’re not worrying about left-handers coming over, you’re just going to leave it in one place. It’s a really good device and could be the best budget option, but when we consider what we’re ranking for, meaning this ranking is for people 5 to 15 handicaps who like to have a lot of people over, it’s going to fall a little bit short of the rest of them. All right, coming in at number nine is the Rapodto MLM2 Pro. Now, this starts at right around $700. Obviously, those prices fluctuate a little bit depending on the time of year you’re going to buy it. Regardless, if you guys want to know the current lowest price, we got links and discount codes below for all these products. Now, that being said, really low starting point. It sits behind you. So, it allows lefty and righty play and it’s a very accurate device. I found with irons through driver, we got extremely accurate carry yardages. And the only thing that seemed a little bit off is we thought wedges seem to go a little bit farther in the simulator compared to all of the higherend devices like a foresight GC quad. Now, this isn’t the end of the world cuz to be honest, one of the things you run into with simulators is you generally hit your wedges shorter indoors because of the fact that you’re hitting off a perfect lot. Now, this may sound a little weird. I did say that wedges fly a little bit longer indoors with the Rapotto MLM2 Pro. So, why would that be? maybe a good thing. Well, the reason it’s kind of a good thing is because golfers generally hit their wedges farther outdoors because the grass is a little longer than a turf lie and you get a little less spin causing the golf ball to go further. So, even though the wedges were flying a little longer compared to those top tier launch monitors, it still correlated pretty well outdoors. On top of that, the device comes with a lot of good club data that a lot of these budget options don’t have. So overall, the reason I have it ranked ahead of the Square Golf Launch Monitor is I like it better for groups of people and it’s a very consistent device. You do need specialized balls for this device like you do with the Square Golf Launch Monitor. But overall, since we’re doing this ranking for someone who wants to have groups of people over, I ranked as a head of the square because of the ease of use with lefties and righties, and they’re very, very similar on the accuracy. All right, coming in at number eight is an awesome golf simulator for a specific person and that is the Unicor i Mini Light. Now, this is an extremely accurate device. If you guys are familiar with Unicor, they are great with ball data accuracy. So, for the price point of the Unicor Mini Light, you’re getting top tier accuracy that a lot of these $5 to $8,000 launch monitors have. But the big caveat and the reason it’s ranked at number eight is it continually has to be plugged in. So you can’t take it outdoors. It’s just stationary in your simulator. And so what that means is even though other devices that sit beside you, you’re able to pick up and move for lefties and righties every other hole. You can’t do that with a Unicor Mini Light because it’s plugged in or if you do it, it’s just going to be a big pain to have this cord being moved around. So accuracy, great. But in terms of groups of people and making it work that way, we’re not as impressed. But that being said, you don’t have to deal with left-handed golfers. For the price point, this is a really tough one to beat. All right, coming in at number seven is the base MEO Gen 2. Now, the Mevo Gen 2 is a brand new product from Flight Scope. And if you guys are familiar with the golf simulator industry, Flight Scope is an industry standard. They’ve sponsored the World Long Drive Tour. They’ve sponsored Bryson to Shambo. And in terms of reliability, we really rank Flight Scope as one of the top most reliable brands in the industry. And the reason that comes into play, there are some devices that you’ll see that may be better on paper, but when you actually bring that into playing simulator golf every day, they might have bugs that make it really hard to use at times. Or maybe they say they offer all these extra data points or features, but when you try to put those features into play, they’re they don’t quite work very well. So, what we mean by that is with the Gen 2, it is such a reliable device. And the fact that it’s only $1,000 with that base MEO Gen 2 package means it’s at a great price point. It has no subscription fee, so you can play simulator golf, you can play with lefties and righties, you can take it to the driving range right after you purchase it, and you don’t have to worry about subscription fees like some of these other products. Just means to me when you tie it in with the actual amazing golf simulator aspects of this device. That’s why I have it ranked at number seven. So, first let’s talk about accuracy. Extremely accurate device. When you guys get the setup right with this thing, which means title list RCT balls, learning proper setup of placement of the device, etc. Regardless, you guys, if you once you get it, just set it up right and you’re good. But off of that tangent, what I’m trying to get at is the carry yardages with this we found to be within 99% and at worst 98% of the best golf simulators on the market. Now, in terms of overall accuracy, I would probably actually rank the Unicor i Mini Lite slightly ahead of the MEO Gen 2 on ball data accuracy. So, you’re probably wondering, well, if the I Mini Lite is more accurate, what makes you rank the MEO Gen 2 above it? Well, a couple of things. One, this is the only device that allows you to get in at a budget price and upgrade it to make it even better later. So, a lot of the devices in kind of the six to four range are in this like $2,000 to $6,000 price category. Now, the MEO Gen 2 starts out at $1,000. And if you want to add on club data information packages to make it as good as these $2 to $5,000 launch monitors, you can do that later for a one-time purchase. So, the reason I love that, if you want a great golf simulator experience that works for lefties and righties where you don’t have to move it around and it’s really reliable on the accuracy, you can get the Meo Gen 2 for the base package. The ball data accuracy and even some club data metrics like club speed, smash factor, and angle of attack are going to come with that base MEO Gen 2. But if you really want to blow the doors off it and get a gajillion different data points, you can add on the Pro package, which is just our favorite extra add-on software because it allows golfers to identify immediately what’s wrong with their swing by looking at this club information data. So overall, even though the Unicor Mini Lite is slightly more accurate, but reason I still like the Mibo Gen 2 more is because of all that accurate club information data. So, all that being said, it’s close, but for groups of people at the price point and its ability to upgrade, I like the Mibo Gen 2 at number seven. All right, coming in at number six is the Sky Track Plus. Now, comparative to the Unicor i Mini Lite, I actually might give a slight edge and accuracy to the Unicor Mini Light, but the Skyrack Plus is just such a fleshed out unit, and I think it’s really underrated. So, first off, let’s talk about it has a combination of Doppler radar and camerabased technology that allows it to read the golf ball. So, you get the benefits of a radar device, but then you also get the ball data benefits of a camerabased device. So, the way I describe the SkyRack Plus accuracy-wise, if you’re playing 18 holes of golf, I would say every shot besides maybe one or two are going to be exactly what you expect. and then you might get one or two shots in an 18hole round that the carry yardage just seems uh roughly like 10 yards off. Now again, this device is coming in at around $2,000 right now and has low subscription fees compared to other products. So the reason I’m ranking this ahead of the iMin Light is because one, a little bit cheaper. Two, if you pair it with GS Pro, you can do the playout hole option, which means if you have lefties and righties over, you only have to switch it every other hole. And even though I said the Unicor I Mini Lite may be slightly more accurate, I think the accuracy is close enough that all of the great features that come with the SkyRack Plus in terms of their built-in driving range, all their skills tests, the accuracy of the device, the usability, I just think the SkyRack Plus is a slight edge above the Unicor Mini Lite. But like I said, depending on your situation, you could flip those two around. All right, we are on to number five and we’ve officially reached tier two of the golf simulators. The last five we went over, I would call tier three. They’re really, really good budget options and just touching kind of that proumer option. But as we approach tier 2, we are in the proumer range and at the top end getting very close to the commercial premium golf simulator range. So to start off, number five is going to be crazy cuz we actually have a fourway tie between the Foresight GC3 or their other model, the GC3S, the Unicor i Mini, the SkyRack ST Max, and the Meibo Gen 2 fully loaded with the Pro package and face impact. So the reason I’m going to give these a tie is because I think overall when you factor in every factor you can for golf simulators, I think they’re tied. But I think each device will fit a specific person better. So starting off, we have the Foresight GC3 or their new version, the GC3S. These are essentially the exact same device. The Foresight GC3 has a really high upfront cost with no subscription fees. GC3S little bit lower upfront cost, but you have about 5 to 750 a year in subscription fees. So in terms of accuracy, I think this is the best one overall. When you factor in the ball data accuracy, when you factor in the club information data, this one to me is the top of all four of these, but this one is more expensive and it doesn’t really have a ton of the cool features that the other golf simulator devices have. So, for me, the reason it’s at a tie is because it’s lacking those features and it’s the most expensive. And then on the opposite end of the spectrum, we’re going to go with the fully loaded Mibo Gen 2. So, while the Foresight GC3 doesn’t have a lot of features, but is just elite on the accuracy, the fully loaded Meibo Gen 2 is going to be the lowest on the price with no subscription fees and is loaded with features, hence the fully loaded. So, how I describe this product, you get a ton of club data. I’ll put that right here. That club information data is extremely accurate. And in terms of a teaching tool or helping you learn about your golf swing, the Flight Scope Evo Gen 2 is the best at doing that. You get tons of data. It’s extremely reliable. You don’t have to question it. And on top of that, this is the best device for lefties and righties. So, when you factor in all the features, factor in how reliable the device is, the lefty and righty play, pairing it with GS Pro, how good it is with that, that’s why these two are at a tie. Then, if we talk about the other two, it kind of is like a linear scale. So, where we said the GC3 is incredibly accurate with club data and ball data, but it’s lacking a lot of features, and the Mibo is incredible with the features, but its ball data might be slightly worse than the GC3. As you get to the SkyRack ST Max and the Unicor, they kind of almost go on a linear scale in that way. So, they’re all really close, all have give and takes, and it’s up for you to decide which one you want if you decide to go with one of those four. If you have any more specific questions because we can’t get into every detail in this video, just shoot us an email at [email protected] and we’ll be happy to help you pick which one is best for you. All right, that was a lot at number five, but now we’re officially moving into number four. And number four is the last in our proumer price range, but it’s the best. We got the Garmin R50. Now, what’s the thing that separates the Garmin R50 from all those ones that were tied at number five? Well, for me it’s a couple of things. One, extremely accurate device. I’m putting this right up there kind of between the Unicor I Mini and the Foresight GC3. So, you know, you’re getting incredibly accurate ball data in terms of club information data. That’s also really, really good. And then you factor in that this thing has just the most incredible features of any device we’ve ever tested. That’s why this is at number four. Now, the starting price is high. It’s right under $5,000, but super low subscription fees. And it’s a self-contained device. Meaning, if you had a net and a mat, you could play full golf simulator rounds off of this device, which is awesome because it has a built-in screen. You can play on that on your golf simulator. You also get video replay of your club, a ton of data and information that goes with it. And overall, this thing is just incredible. If you want to have a golf simulator that’s a net and a mat and just a TV, you run the HDMI cord from the R50 to the TV. If you want to do a typical projector setup, you run a wireless HDMI from the device to the projector. The best way to describe it for those who aren’t super knowledgeable about golf simulators, it’s basically like when Apple released the first iPhone. They’re the first person to take all these things that were separate, projector, TV, computer, don’t need a computer with it, golf simulator, and they combine them into one. It’s a really awesome device that makes it super simple to set up and use. All right, coming in at number three, and it’s good to note that officially we have reached the premium golf simulators, the PGA Tour level, the best of the best. And coming in at number three is the Trackman IIO. Now, I might get some hate here ranking in at number three. Because if I’m being honest, I think in terms of features, ball data, club information data, I think it is the best golf simulator. But despite it being the best overall golf simulator, it’s between $10 to $15,000 more than the next two devices. And you generally have subscription fees that are around $1,000 a year. So for me, even though it is an incredible device, you get the video replays of your club. You get topofthe-line ball data accuracy. Everything everything’s topof the line. It’s a nearperfect device, but is it worth $10 to $15,000 more plus $1,000 a year? I don’t think so. I don’t think it is. I think they’re a little bit overpriced. All right, coming in at number two, we have the Foresight GC Quad or the Foresight Falcon. These are essentially the exact same devices. The Quad sits right beside you, so you can take it to the driving range or bring it in your simulator. The Falcon is an overhead golf simulator, so it stays put, but it makes it really easy for lefties and righties. Now, why am I ranking this ahead of the Trackman IO? So, one, let’s talk about accuracy. If I was to give an accuracy rating for ball data and club information data, Foresight Trackman are both tied at number one. Every ball data metric, every club data metric, you never have to question it. They’re the best of the best. But what sets it apart from the TrackMan? Well, actually not the features because the downside of the Foresight products, they’re not as featurerich, right? They won’t include that video slow motion replay of your club. They don’t include a photo that shows the impact of where you hit on the club face, even though it does show a generated graphic of it. So, it’s not the features, cuz I’d say the features are better on the Trackman IO. What it is is the price. This is $15,000. I think you can get it even cheaper with code golfbusters 10 on the playb better.com website, but it has no subscription fees. So, we’re essentially talking somewhere between $5 to $10 to $15,000 less on the base price, and you don’t have to pay $1,000 a year. So, for me, like I said, I think the savings in price and the reliability of the club information data and the ball data puts it at number two. Now, I want to clarify when I say it doesn’t have great features. It still has every club fitting feature you could ever want. So, it does have a lot of features, but the cool features that like groups of people love to have when you’re playing, it’s lacking on that a little bit. All right, coming in at number one, our number one ranked golf simulator going into the 2026 golf simulator season is the Unicor IO2. Now, a big reason this is number one is because of everything it offers comparative to the price. This thing goes for around $10,000 and can even go as long as $8,000 during holiday seasons at times. And in terms of ball data accuracy, I would put the Unicor Exo2 right up there with the Trackman IO and Foresight Falcon. So all the readings for your golf ball, I’m going to rank them exactly the same. The features of the Unicor Exo2, I would say that’s tied for the best of the best. What we love about the Unicor Exo2, it comes with a slow motion video replay of your club and a picture that shows the impact location of where basically your golf ball hit on your club face. Now, like I said, the Foresight Falcon does show you this data in terms of a data metric. So, it will show you, hey, this is what your club path was in degrees. Here’s a graphic showing where the ball hit on your club face, but I’m telling you, it’s just not as good as when you actually see the video and photo in real life. There’s something about seeing it on a video that helps you just process it in your brain and make that correction much quicker. I don’t know quite how to describe it because I’ve had golfers that can see on the graphic from the Foresight Falcon. They can see their club path and they understand that they’re doing something wrong like huzzling the golf ball. But golfers who actually see it live on a video, it just processes in your brain differently and helps you make that correction much quicker. So, if we’re keeping track, I have ball data accuracy a tie between all of the top three devices. For features, Trackman, Unicor, Tide, Foresight Falcon is a little behind them in terms of features. club information data. So all the data about what your golf club is doing. I would have Trackman IO tied at one with Foresight Falcon and then the Unicor Exo2 falling a little bit behind. But for me doing this ranking for people who are 5 to 15 handicaps who want to have a lot of people over. I just think when you combine the price point, the ball data accuracy, and the awesome features, I think the Unicor Exo2 is best for that situation. And if you wanted to look at some cheaper options, even more so than the Unicor Exo2, you could look at the old Unicor Exo or their new Unicor XR. So that’s it for today’s video.
