Overhead Launch Monitor Hitting Area Comparison: What You Need to Know

Overhead Launch Monitor Hitting Area Chart

When designing your home golf simulator, one of the most important factors to consider is the launch monitor hitting area. Choosing the right golf launch monitor hitting area size can make a huge difference in how flexible, realistic, and durable your setup feels — especially if you have a smaller or confined space.

Why Launch Monitor Hitting Area Dimensions Matter

The launch monitor hitting area dimensions — both width and length — directly impact how easy it is to hit shots from the center of the room and accommodate both right-handed and left-handed golfers.

If your golf simulator space is tight, selecting a launch monitor with a wider hitting area gives you the flexibility to center your hitting position without needing to offset toward your dominant hand. This is especially important if you plan to have both righties and lefties use the simulator, or simply want the most natural and clean look for your setup.

In addition, the length of the hitting area is critical. A small hitting area forces you to hit from the same spot every time, wearing out your hitting mat faster. A hitting area with more length allows you to move the ball around on the hitting mat, helping to preserve the turf and extend the lifespan of your hitting surface.

Launch Monitor Hitting Area Comparison

Here's a launch monitor hitting area comparison to help you see the differences between popular models, based on their width and length:

Launch Monitor	Width	Length
UNEEKOR EYE XO	12"	16"
UNEEKOR EYE XO2	28"	21"
PROTEE VX	21"	25"
TRACKMAN iO	24"	16"
FORESIGHT FALCON	59"	28"

(To help you visualize: a standard USGA golf ball is depicted, which is 1.68 inches in diameter.)

As you can see, the FORESIGHT FALCON offers the largest hitting area, making it an ideal choice for users who want maximum flexibility. Meanwhile, the UNEEKOR EYE XO2 and PROTEE VX also offer generously sized hitting areas that work well for more confined spaces.

Final Thoughts

Carefully considering your launch monitor hitting area size ensures that you can get the most out of your golf simulator setup.

A wider and longer hitting area means:

• Easier accommodation for right-handed and left-handed golfers

• Centered setup without offsets

• Hitting mat longevity, due to ball position variety
