Why the ProTee VX overhead launch monitor is proving so popular with Kiwi golfers

ProTee VX Overhead golf launch Monitor-header

The ProTee VX delivers the same ball flight data that touring professionals rely on to dial in their distances. You’re getting 90% of the features found in systems costing twice as much, which makes it exceptional value in today’s market.

The magic happens through artificial intelligence that recognises your clubs automatically. No sticking markers on your driver or fussing with special golf balls. The system tracks 17 different data points including ball speed, launch angle, spin rate, and club path with accuracy that matches systems costing NZ$25,000 or more.

Golf simulation specialist Mike G from Carl’s Place puts it perfectly: “After just a few swings on the ProTee VX, I had to go back and check the price. You get all THAT for that?! The club-at-impact replay is higher quality than any other I’ve seen.”

Expert reviewer Friendly Golfer, who has extensive experience with multiple launch monitors, confirms the exceptional value with “no additional subscriptions or fees even for using third-party software” which makes it stand out from systems requiring ongoing payments. You can watch his complete ProTee VX review on YouTube to see all these features demonstrated in detail.

Golf simulator expert Mitch from Handicap Golf has been helping golfers create their dream indoor simulators since 2020. He highlights five key reasons the ProTee VX stands out. In his YouTube review, which has helped guide thousands of golfers, he particularly praises “the response time of the ProTee VX – as soon as I hit this ball you can see the shot tracer on screen, you get the ball data on screen as well, you don’t even have to wait for the shot tracer to finish.” Watch this 5 Reasons to Buy the ProTee VX video to see the instant feedback in action.

Whether you’re chasing that elusive handicap drop or simply want to better understand your game, this feedback transforms practice from guesswork into genuine improvement.

Installation that works for real Kiwi homes

Here’s where the ProTee VX really shines for New Zealand golfers. Instead of gobbling up floor space in your garage or spare room, it mounts to the ceiling and automatically works for both righties and lefties.

As Mitch emphasises: “It’s a ceiling mounted launch monitor so it doesn’t get in the way, there’s nothing on the floor, nothing for the kids to trip over and break, nothing for you to spill anything onto – it’s literally load up the software and play.”

Expert reviewers consistently praise the setup simplicity. As the Friendly Golfer notes: “It’s overhead so I don’t have to calibrate, I don’t have to lay an alignment stick down… I’m ready to hit shots in a few seconds” which is exactly what busy Kiwi golfers need.

Whether you’re setting up in the garage, converting that spare bedroom, or building a proper golf cave, installation takes minutes rather than hours. We handle the professional installation, ensuring everything’s perfectly calibrated for your space. You just need a 9-10 foot ceiling and you’re sorted.

The system requires no structural modifications beyond standard ceiling anchors, making it perfect for rental properties or spaces where you can’t make permanent changes.

Software that keeps delivering more value

The included ProTee Labs software comes with a lifetime licence, so you avoid those subscription headaches that plague other systems. Better yet, it integrates seamlessly with TGC 2019, giving you access to over 150,000 courses, including Augusta National and Pebble Beach.

Mitch highlights the flexibility: “It doesn’t only connect to The Golf Club 2019, which is made by ProTee, you can connect it to GSPro, E6 Connect, Awesome Golf – it’s such a flexible launch monitor when it comes to integrating with third-party golf simulator software.”

Imagine playing St. Andrews from your own home while Wellington’s getting hammered by southerly winds. The software’s artificial intelligence continuously learns and improves, making your system more accurate over time.

The impact replay videos are genuinely impressive. Expert reviewers highlight how “it’s a slow motion video of impact, the golf club hitting the golf ball and by default you hit a shot, you look over at the screen and it’s already replaying… this is the first time I’ve used an overhead launch monitor that has that replay and it is incredibly useful from that angle.”

Mitch also praises “this amazing club face angle that you get – it’s basically swing capture, shows you in unbelievable quality your club face at impact of every single shot… it’s showing me where I hit the ball on the club face, how my club face reacted.”

Independent reviewer at Golfstead confirms the ProTee VX “provides a very extensive data set” with “artificial intelligence technology that detects the club being used as well as the clubface, which, in effect, puts ‘virtual stickers’ on the face” without any physical markings needed.

Built for serious golfers and commercial facilities

Whether you’re building a personal practice space or running a commercial facility, the ProTee VX handles everything you can throw at it. The all-metal construction stands up to high-traffic use whilst maintaining measurement accuracy that satisfies serious golfers.

Commercial operators particularly appreciate avoiding ongoing subscription fees. Golf instructors love the instant feedback and customisable data displays that help students understand exactly why their ball flight isn’t matching their expectations.
