GolfJoy Spica 3 Launch Monitor
$3,199.00
Most golfers who want to practice at home don’t have a dedicated room — and they shouldn’t have to. The Spica 3 sits on the floor behind the ball, no ceiling mount or permanent setup needed. Hit a shot and your data shows up in under a third of a second on the device’s own touchscreen. Pack it up and take it to the range. Same device, same accuracy, anywhere you play.
Fits rooms starting at 10 ft wide by 12 ft deep. Use any golf ball you already own — no stickers or special equipment required for ball data.
What You're Getting
GolfJoy Spica 3 is a portable launch monitor built for golfers who want real shot data without committing to a permanent simulator setup. It uses three high-speed cameras to capture ball and club data and works just as well for practice at home as it does at the driving range.
There’s no ceiling mount and no complicated installation. Set the Spica 3 beside the hitting area, line it up, and start hitting. Shot feedback comes back in under 0.3 seconds, and the built-in touchscreen gives you 11 essential data points right on the unit — 7 ball metrics and 4 club metrics. Clubhead stickers are required to capture the four club measurements.
If you want to go deeper, connect to the free GOLFJOY PRO or Space app to access the full 27-metric data set, including 16 additional trajectory metrics. The full data set is also available through compatible GOLFJOY PC software.
The Spica 3 is a good fit for golfers who want one launch monitor they can use indoors, outdoors, and as part of a full simulator setup. Its built-in 9-axis gyroscope helps keep the unit properly oriented on different surfaces, making it easy to move from your simulator room to the range without starting over with a permanent installation.
