The VTrack Launch Monitor seemingly came out of nowhere. But it’s actually been one of the top sellers in Asia for decades. We just recently started offering it here at Indoor Golf Outlet, and we were fortunate enough to get our hands on this golf launch monitor so we could give our complete VTrack launch monitor review.

Long story short, we’re blown away by what this $5,000 device is capable of doing. It punches way above its weight class, undercutting every other overhead launch monitor we carry without compromising on capabilities.

Who Makes the VTrack Launch Monitor?

The folks at Laon Swingcraft have truly outdone themselves with this work of art, and we honestly can’t believe we’re just now realizing how incredible it is. The Western World is pretty late to the game. Better late than never, they say!

Laon Swingcraft is a subdivision of a bigger company out of South Korea - Laon People Co., Ltd. The business has been around since 2010, and was actually created with the mission of integrating machine vision and AI across multiple industries. Laon Swingcraft, as you are starting to gather, is the golf technology arm of the parent company.

Fast forward to today, and more than 20,000 VTrack units have been shipped. This launch monitor has started to earn a reputation as the standard for overhead technology in South Korea - and we’re seeing the sentiment shift over here in North America, too.

The VTrack is still pretty new to not just our team here at Indoor Golf Outlet, but the US and Canada as a whole. It just made its way to North America late last year (2025) on the heels of Laon Swingcraft’s powerful exhibition at the PGA Show in Orlando.

We wanted to start our VTrack launch monitor review with all this background because it tells you a lot. We’ve seen misconceptions that the VTrack is priced at $5,000 because it’s cheap Asian junk. Not true whatsoever.

It’s not a company that popped up overnight hoping to capitalize on the golf boom in America, either. Laon Swingcraft has been around for over a decade now. And to date, there’s a less-than-1% defect rate across every unit that has been installed. That’s incredibly impressive. 

What the VTrack Launch Monitor Measures (Ball and Club Data) 

One of the first things that surprised us in getting started with our VTrack golf launch monitor review is just how capable the device is for its price. It tracks more than pretty much any other device in its price class. 23 total data points across three categories: 

• Ball data captured at impact
• Club data gathered from your swing
• Flight metrics calculated from the raw measurements

Everything you need to perfect your swing or help your students dial in theirs. 

Ball Data

The VTrack measures ball speed, launch angle, launch direction, backspin, sidespin, total spin, spin axis, and rifle rotation. That's the full spin profile plus the initial launch conditions that determine where the ball goes. That’s how the VTrack is able to calculate flight metrics.

For example, spin axis tells you whether the ball is slicing right or hooking left (for right-handed players). It tells you if you hit a shot thin or popped one up. You also get insights into how the ball would land on a real golf course through Rifle Rotation - which assesses the ball’s forward tumble. Most competitors don’t offer anything like that in their data sets.

You know what really blew us away in our VTrack launch monitor review, though? The unit captures all this without specialized balls. You can simulate play with the actual balls you use out on the golf course, whether they’re ProV1s or Kirklands (we don’t judge!).

Club Data

You gain insight into club speed, club path, face angle, face-to-path, attack angle, dynamic loft, smash factor, and impact point (both horizontal and vertical). A couple of these in particular we want to expand on, because they’re really important. 

Face-to-path directly influences shot curvature. It tells you the angle of your clubface relative to the direction the club face is traveling. An out-to-in path with an open club face is a slice every time.

Dynamic loft is the actual loft at impact - not the number stamped on the club. In other words, where are you actually contacting the ball? This is paired with attack angle to clue you into what’s making your launch conditions the way they are. 

The best part is how the VTrack’s dual stereo cameras optically track the club head, eliminating the need for those frustrating clubhead stickers so many competitors force you into. 

Assessing the Unit’s Build Quality 

We see most VTrack review coverage gloss over build quality. We think it’s an important part of any VTrack launch monitor review given the stigma surrounding Asian goods here in the US market. This thing is a tank. It’s built to stand the test of time.

The launch monitor weighs in at 24.6 lbs and measures 43” L x 11” W x 11” H. It’s a big unit. But that’s because of all the tech living inside of it - a dual stereo camera system running at 1,800 frames per second with processing hardware that delivers shot feedback as fast as 200ms. 

That matters because higher FPS = better accuracy. It gives the launch monitor more data points to calculate spin, speed, and angle from. Slower cameras rely on…not “guesswork,” but interpolation. They are more prone to estimation error.

That 200ms processing speed also means you get data before you’ve even loaded up the next ball. Before the ball even hits the impact screen, for that matter! It’s lightning fast. We loved how we were able to keep up a fast pace with the VTrack while reviewing it. For comparison, the ProTee VX is $1,500 more and has the same processing speed. 

The overhead mounting means the unit stays totally out of the way while you practice or play. The downside, of course, is that mounting a nearly 25-pound unit can be tough on your own. You might need to get some help for the installation. Adjustments can be tricky, too. 

But the unit ships with the necessary mounting hardware so you don’t have to stress about finding strong enough brackets and bolts. On that note, it also comes with a power adapter, an Ethernet cable, and a calibration board.

Installation Requirements, Hitting Zone, and Other Practical Insights 

Every VTrack review we read prior to creating our own sped through the actual installation process. You have to figure out if this unit actually works in your space before buying it - these are the installation requirements:

• Minimum ceiling height: 8’10” (up to 10’2”)
• Distance from unit to impact screen: 9.8’
• Room width: 17.75’ (narrower rooms can work depending on configuration)

All that being said, the VTrack is actually quite a bit more forgiving than other overhead units we carry here at Indoor Golf Outlet. It’s quickly become the unit we recommend when others don’t fit a room. 

One thing that really impressed us during our initial VTrack launch monitor review was how generous the hitting zone was. 31” W x 24” D. That’s massive! One of the largest detection areas in the overhead launch monitor category, to be exact. 

Why does this matter, you ask? Simple. Wider hitting zones = less precision required in ball placement. This also makes the VTrack more accommodating of different stances if you have multiple people playing in the same session (including left-handed and right-handed players). You don’t have to adjust or recalibrate the unit between swings. That saves a ton of hassle.

The wide hitting area is a distinct selling point to three very specific types of users:

• Commercial facilities with new golfers swinging every 30 minutes
• Family golf simulator rooms with different age groups/handedness
• Any time you switch between clubs with different ball positions relative to your feet

Getting up and running with the VTrack is pretty straightforward on the computer side too. You just need a dual-core 3.0 GHz processor, 16 GB RAM, 100 GB of free disk space, and Windows 10. We do recommend an Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen for maximum performance, though.

Again, the PC specs are just more forgiving than the rest of the market for the most part. Certain overhead units we carry here at Indoor Golf Outlet want you to go out and buy an i7 and a dedicated GPU as a minimum requirement. This keeps things more affordable.

Assessing the VTrack Range Software (and Other Connections)

No VTrack launch monitor review would be complete without talking about the software it’s powered by out of the box - VTrack Range. 

First, know that the unit can connect to a GSPro, E6 Connect, and E6 Apex license for full simulator play. These are the most popular software platforms in the simulator space and will unlock thousands of courses. They cost anywhere from $150-$600 a year.

But let’s talk about what you actually get with the VTrack Range software. It’s your digital driving range where you’ll gain access to a full practice environment. You can customize the dashboards based on the data you care about most, be it spin, launch conditions, etc. It’s plenty capable, and you don’t have to renew it annually. It’s unlocked permanently with your purchase. 

That 200-250ms response time we spoke about earlier is great here. The data is up on the screen while you’re still holding your follow-through. It’s super accurate, too, as we reviewed the VTrack Range after using other industry-leading launch monitors and didn’t notice much of a difference in the numbers we were being shown. 

Another really cool capability - video replay of each shot you hit. Right at impact. You can pause, fast-forward, and rewind to get a better sense of what your strike actually looks like. This puts visualization behind the numbers that pop up on the screen. The video will loop until you load up a ball for your next shot. 

We don’t see many VTrack reviews out there talking about the seven-color ready indicator on the device itself, but it’s pretty cool when you’ve got multiple players using the launch monitor at once. Everyone gets assigned a color. The indicator lights up according to whose turn it is. That keeps the pace up in commercial settings with group events or even at home when you’ve got three of your buddies rotating in. See your color, step up and swing. 

Pros and Cons of the VTrack Launch Monitor 

After digging through every single spec and feature in our VTrack launch monitor review, we could only make one conclusion: the pros dramatically outweigh the cons. This thing is criminally underpriced at just $5,000. But we have to admit there are a few things we’d change.

Why We Love It

• Unparalleled value: We keep talking about the price tag for a reason. It’s almost too good to be true - but after reviewing the VTrack firsthand, we can confirm this is the real deal. By far the best value in the overhead launch monitor space right now.
• Generous hitting zone: Again, one of the best in this category through 2026 so far. Super forgiving for varying stance widths and off-center ball placement. No recalibration for lefties vs righties. 
• No stickers or marked balls: These are mandated for most launch monitors that give you detailed club and ball data. But as long as your ball has some type of marking on it (ideally a logo), the VTrack will pick it up without issue.
• Low PC requirements: You don’t need a $2,000 gaming PC to go with your launch monitor. You can get by with any dual-core 3.0 GHz processor that has 16 GB RAM. Use the rest of the money you save for other components in your simulator space.
• Perpetual software: $5,000 is the total cost of ownership - no annual software renewals unless you decide to upgrade to one of the major simulator software for course play (and you should!).

Things to Consider

• Big and bulky: All the technology that makes this launch monitor so powerful takes up a lot of space. Nearly 25 lbs - that’s heavier than a lot of the competition, but you do get everything you need to confidently mount it out of the box.
• Ethernet connections only: You can’t run the unit on WiFi. But honestly, we tell most of our customers to connect to Ethernet anyway for a more reliable connection.
• Newer to the US market: You just won’t see as much information, troubleshooting tips, or VTrack reviews on the market since the company just started selling here in North America.

How Does the VTrack Stack Up to the Rest of the Field? 

Just as reliable VTrack golf launch monitor reviews are few and far between, we noticed there weren’t a ton of direct comparisons with more established launch monitors. We just put together a VTrack vs ProTee VX launch monitor comparison if you want the full scoop - this is the showdown most people are interested in, as the two overhead units have a lot in common.

The key takeaway? The VTrack does ALMOST everything ProTee does at $1,500 less. It’s hard to justify spending that extra cash for a few more data points or just because the ProTee is more well-known here in the US and Canada. That’s enough money to buy a better impact screen and enclosure, or pay for most of your projector!

We’re working on getting an in-depth EYE XR vs VTrack comparison together next, because this overhead model from Uneekor costs around $1,000 more than the VTrack. It’s closer in price, way lighter, and far more established in North America. But it has a much smaller hitting zone and tracks fewer data points.

We’re not saying the VTrack is the best overhead launch monitor across the board for everybody. There are some far more sophisticated devices in our catalog if you’re willing to spend five figures for maximum performance. 

But it’s hard to find any flaws with the VTrack that would really be considered “dealbreakers.” You could make the case that it’s the best Trackman alternative for $5,000 or less!

Hopefully, this VTrack launch monitor review has answered all the questions you had about the latest addition to the overhead launch monitor market. You can see why we’re so excited about this thing. It’s unlike any other unit in its class.

The biggest question we’ve been asked about so far, to sum it all up - does the $5,000 price tag reflect a compromise of any sort? We know it sounds too good to be true. You’ve always been told cheaper = worse. Not the case here. This thing outperforms a lot of the more expensive models we stock here at Indoor Golf Outlet.

So, if you’re building a simulator on a budget, we highly recommend the VTrack launch monitor. If you still have questions after reading our VTrack review, don’t hesitate to connect with us for one-on-one support. We’ll help you find out for sure if this is the right choice for you or not.
