Device Requirements
Based on the technical specifications provided, your system should meet or exceed these standards for optimal performance:
Minimum Requirements
- CPU: Intel i5 Processor, 10th Gen
- RAM: 16GB
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit +
Recommended Requirements
- CPU: Intel i5 or higher (10th Gen+)
- RAM: 16GB or more
- GPU: RTX 3070 series or later
- VRAM: 8GB or more
- Storage: 150GB+ available space
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit +
Space & Installation Requirements
To ensure the GR 3 functions correctly and provides a safe environment for your swing, please adhere to these space guidelines:
- Ceiling Height: * Minimum: 9 feet Recommended: 10 feet or higher (essential for full driver swings)
- Mounting Position: The device should be mounted on the ceiling approximately 2 to 3.5 feet in front of the tee (between the tee and the screen).
- Distance from Tee to Screen: * Minimum: 10 feet Recommended: 12 feet (improves tracking accuracy and reduces ball bounce-back)
- Enclosure Width: * Minimum: 10 feetRecommended: 12 to 14 feet (allows for centered hitting and accommodates both left and right-handed players)
- Total Room Depth: A minimum of 15 to 18 feet of total depth is ideal to allow for a full backswing and sufficient flight distance.
Key Features & Calibration
- Lightning-Fast Data: Supports speeds of 4Gb/s with a calculation time and detection latency of ≤0.3 seconds.
- Universal Compatibility: Supports all golf balls, clubs, and shot types - from high-lofted shots to putts.
- Easy 4-Step Calibration:
- Step 1: Auto-Network Configuration.
- Step 2: Position the Board (place calibration board within the green frame).
- Step 3: Define Play Area (map your hitting zone).
- Step 4: Swing to Verify.
Ambidextrous Space & Software Requirements
- Recommended Room Width: * Minimum: 15 feetIdeal: 16 feet or wider. This allows both lefties and righties to swing comfortably from the same center point without hitting side walls or the enclosure.
- Hitting Position: * The tee must be centered relative to the width of the room.The Rigel 3 should be mounted dead-center on the ceiling, aligned with the tee.
- Device Height: * Required: 9 to 10 feet.Note: Keeping the height at 10 feet is highly recommended for dual-handed play to ensure the overhead unit is well out of the way of diverse swing arcs.
- Tee-to-Screen Distance: * Minimum: 10 feet.Recommended: 12 feet. This provides enough ball flight for the triple-camera system to capture high-accuracy data for both sides.
- Mounting Distance (Horizontal): * The Rigel 3 should be mounted 2 to 3.5 feet in front of the tee (toward the screen).
- Sensing Area: * The Rigel 3 features a wide sensing area (19.7" x 27.6")
which is designed to pick up the ball from either side without needing to move the launch monitor.
Why a Centered Setup Matters
Because the GR3 is an overhead unit with a triple-camera system and a large sensing zone, it is one of the best options for a multi-user environment. By centering the unit and the hitting mat, you eliminate the need to move the hardware or re-calibrate when switching between a left-handed and right-handed player.
Do I need a paid subscription just to use my launch monitor?
Not at all. You have full access to your hardware right out of the box. The GOLFJOY Space App is available for your tablet or mobile device at no cost. This allows you to view all your ball and club data and use the practice driving range whenever you like, with no ongoing fees required to access your swing metrics.
