Many golfers want to be able to quickly and seamlessly change from left to right-handed play on their golf simulator.
While some golfers may want to practice both styles of play, the most common reason for it is that the simulator is used by multiple people that are both left and right-handed.
Fortunately, as golf simulator technology has advanced, more affordable solutions have appeared in the market, so there are options that can accommodate a range of budgets.
In the case of a golf simulator for seamless left and right-handed use, there are a few things you’ll need to give yourself a great experience: a launch monitor that records your shot data, a hitting net or screen, and optionally, a projector that displays your shot on a life-size screen.
More than anything though, you’ll want a tracking system that doesn’t require different setups and device positioning based on whether you’re left or right-handed.
In this article, we’ll review and compare our picks for the best golf simulators for dual left and right-handed use over a range of different budgets.
We have tested all of these golf simulator setups. Some offer less features than others, but they all give an excellent experience for the cost.

1. Uneekor EYE XO SIG10 Golf Simulator Package
The Uneekor EYE XO is a relatively new simulator technology to hit the market, and it has been received extremely well by golfers.
Unlike the popular SkyTrak which needs to be repositioned and recalibrated when switching from right to left-handed play, the EYE XO uses a ceiling-mounted camera and sensor system that allows seamless hand switching without any adjustments needed.
The EYE XO uses unmarked ball technology so you can use any ball you want. This is a major improvement over Uneekor’s QED system, in addition to offering more powerful features and additional data parameters.
The accuracy, number of data points, and flexibility of the software make this our #1 golf simulator of choice, as long as the budget can accommodate it.
Featuring The Indoor Golf Shop’s popular SIG10 screen & enclosure, this Uneekor EYE XO simulator package gives you everything you needed for both right and left-handed players to enjoy the ultimate golf simulator studio.
What Is Included
The Uneekor EYE XO SIG10 Simulator package was put together by The Indoor Golf Shop and includes:
- the EYE XO bar tracking system with high-speed cameras
- a SIG10 simulator screen & enclosure
- side barrier netting
- a Panasonic PT-VZ580U WUXGA projector
- a ceiling projector mount
- your choice of hitting mat (5’x5′, 4’x7′ or 4’x10′) or full flooring
The high-speed cameras can track club path, spin, and ball impact at over 3000 fps.
The choices for hitting mat are the Fairway Series 5’x5′ (provides realistic feel), SIGPRO 4’x7′ (easy on the joints, allows level unit placement), and SIGPRO 4’x10′. We definitely recommend the SIGPRO 4’x10′ because it has a center hitting strip that is designed for left/right hand switching.
The included View software has its own cool features such as a swing motion analysis tool and videos of your club impact and ball spin.
Upgrades to the Refine and Refine+ software tiers are available to access additional features. The EYE XO is also compatible with The Golf Club, E6 CONNECT, and GSPro.
Room dimensions of at least 9 ft high x 12 ft wide x 18 ft deep are recommended. For more details about what comes with the package, optional add-ons, pricing, and setup instructions, visit this page.
2. Uneekor QED SwingBay Simulator Package
Many golfers opt for the Uneekor QED simulator system instead of the EYE XO because even though it requires marked balls and is less powerful, it’s several thousand dollars cheaper.
Also a ceiling-mounted system that enables seamless hand switching, the QED delivers high precision on shots from 10 cm to 435 yards. The included software allows you to play various game modes, practice modes, and skills challenges.
This particular package was put together by Rain Or Shine Golf and uses their unique SwingBay screen & enclosure, which enjoys great ratings.
What Is Included
The Uneekor QED SwingBay Simulator includes the QED system along with:
- a SwingBay simulator screen & enclosure
- an Optoma 1080p Short Throw Projector
- a projector ceiling mount or floor mount enclosure (your choice)
- landing pad turf (optional)
- side barrier netting
- a SwingTurf hitting mat (4’x9′ or 5’x5′)
- a gaming laptop optimized for golf simulation (optional)
- The Golf Club 2019 software (access to over 150,000 courses)
- BirTees and other accessories
The simulator technology itself is contained in the QED bar, which is mounted overhead. It houses two high-speed cameras that can record at over 3000 fps, providing real-time club and ball data.
The QED Ignite software features a photographic video playback technology called QED OPTIX, a 3D driving range, fitting data, and a swing motion analysis tool. Upgrades are available that allow to you access additional features within the Ignite software.
Minimum room dimensions of 8 ft high x 11 ft wide x 16 ft deep are required.
Practically everyone who gets the Uneekor QED system ends up very happy with it. Even if you don’t want to pay extra for separate software, the default Ignite software is rock solid and will allow you to get the quality practice you expect out of a premium simulator package.
3. FlightScope Mevo Plus SwingBay Golf Simulator
This simulator pairs FlightScope’s successful Mevo+ launch monitor with Rain or Shine Golf’s SwingBay enclosure. The package has turned out to be very popular and has a perfect 5/5 average rating among golfers.
The Mevo+ is comparable to the SkyTrak, but it uses Doppler radar tracking technology. More importantly, it allows for seamless left and right-handed play because the unit is positioned behind the golfer on the target line.
What Is Included
The Mevo+ SwingBay package consists of the Mevo+ launch monitor and a fully loaded SwingBay enclosure. Also included are:
- an Optoma 1080p Short Throw Projector
- a projector ceiling mount or floor enclosure (your choice)
- landing pad turf (optional)
- side barrier netting
- a SwingTurf hitting mat (4’x9′ or 5’x5′)
- an iPad Pro or gaming laptop optimized for golf simulation (optional)
- E6 CONNECT or The Golf Club software (your choice)
- BirTees and other accessories
A nice perk of the Mevo+ is its integration with E6 CONNECT software, in addition to a free FlightScope app. The simulator comes with a trimmed version of E6 that includes five courses and seventeen practice ranges.
The included SwingTurf hitting mat (5’x4′) was designed by Rain or Shine Golf to provide an optimal balance between realistic fairway feel and forgiveness. An upgrade to a larger 9’x4′ SwingTurf mat is available.
Room dimensions of 9 ft high x 12 ft wide x 20 ft deep are recommended.
We love this simulator package because the Mevo+ is robust and affordable and Rain or Shine Golf is extremely helpful throughout the setup process.
4. TruGolf Vista 10 Golf Simulator
The Vista 10 is the middle entry in TruGolf’s affordable Vista Series. It’s defined by high-definition image quality, a cutting-edge tension system, enhanced swing analysis capabilities, and portability with easy installation.
The simulator is based on patented technology and uses a group of sensors underneath the hitting mat to measure club and ball data. Since nothing needs to be moved around once set up, the Vista 10 is great for uninterrupted left and right-handed play.
TruGolf is a reputable maker of simulators, and their team of developers and golf pros are highly respected. Their simulators are used for both home and commercial applications.
What Is Included
The Vista 10 simulator comes with:
- an HD 720p Vista projector and screen
- a 21″ Touch Screen Monitor & TruGolf Level 1 Computer
- a 1-year subscription to E6 CONNECT, which is a simulation software that allows you to practice, play with friends, and compete with golfers around the world
- premium fairway turf
- a 1-year limited warranty
The Vista 10 uses the TruTrack2 system, which captures important shot data using three rows of optical sensors. Most of the hardware for this tracking system is located underneath the hitting mat.
The Vista 10 is offered in Base and Pro versions. The Base version includes the above items, while the Pro version includes a Level 2 Computer, portable speaker, component rack, protective side nets, and a frame storage duffel bag.
The minimum space requirements are 10 ft high x 15 ft wide x 20 ft deep.

5. Full Swing KIT SIG10 Golf Simulator Package
This simulator is special because it features the Full Swing KIT launch monitor which is endorsed and used personally by Tiger Woods.
The KIT was built at Woods’ request and according to his standards. Because it’s radar-based and is positioned behind the golfer, it allows for seamless right and left-handed play.
This package by The Indoor Golf Shop combines the KIT with a their popular SIG10 enclosure which can fit into most spaces. The accuracy of the KIT is comparable to top-end launch monitors but is thousands of dollars cheaper, so you’re getting fantastic value here.
What Is Included
This package consists of the Full Swing KIT launch monitor with charger and protective travel case. Also included are:
- a SIG10 screen & enclosure system
- a Panasonic PT-VZ580U WUXGA projector
- landing pad turf
- 5’x5′, 4’x7′, 4’x10′, or full flooring hitting mat (your choice)
- a ceiling projector mount
- side barrier netting
The portable KIT uses Doppler radar and dedicated processors to measure 16 ball and club parameters, no stickers or leveling required. It has direct-to-screen output and is the only launch monitor with a customizable OLED full-colour screen.
The KIT is currently compatible with the iOS version of E6 CONNECT, offered in three packages. It also pairs with a companion app (iOS) that allows you to view your historical shot data, store video, track trends, and manage your clubs and bag.
Space dimensions of 9 ft high x 12 ft wide x 18 ft deep are recommended.
The Woods-endorsed KIT has an extensive parameter set, and the app is very useful and intuitive for practice sessions. The main drawback is limited software and the fact that an iOS device is required for golf simulation; Android and PC users are out of luck for now.
6. FlightScope X3 Flex Space Golf Simulator Package
The FlightScope X3 is similar to the Mevo+ in that the unit is positioned behind the golfer on the target line, making it ideal for seamless left and right-handed play.
However, the X3 is a more accurate and much more powerful launch monitor than the Mevo+. In fact, it’s probably the best radar-based launch monitor on the market along with TrackMan.
The X3 Flex Space Package, built by The Indoor Golf Shop, pairs the X3 launch monitor with a state-of-the-art HomeCourse retractable screen enclosure. This enclosure can be retracted with the press of a button to quickly return a room such as a garage or basement back to its original form.
What Is Included
The FlightScope X3 Flex Space Package features the FlightScope X3 launch monitor. This device uses patented Fusion tracking technology, combining 3D radar and image processing to measure over 50 swing, ball, chipping and putting data parameters with extreme accuracy.
Also included are:
- a HomeCourse ProScreen 180 with ceiling mount kit
- a 1080p short throw projector
- a SIGPRO Turf Mat (6 ft x 10 ft)
- a projector floor mount enclosure
- a charging cable, backpack, and other accessories
The new and improved HomeCourse ProScreen 180 features side walls made of ballistic material. The Pro Arms can be optionally extended to create an ultra-wide 16:9 projectable area.
The retractable screen is wireless. The motor runs on a chargeable lithium-ion battery that lasts for months at a time, and the motor can be controlled with an included wireless remote.
The screen can be mounted to the ceiling or wall (wall mount kit sold separately). If your ceiling is higher than nine feet, we recommend wall mounting.
Room dimensions of 8.5 ft high x 12 ft wide x 12 ft deep are recommended.
The X3 works great with the HomeCourse retractable screen, but it’s also available as part of other packages which you can browse here.
7. GSA F-Series F2 Golf Simulator

GSA Golf was founded by Martin Paul Gardiner, a software and electronics engineer with over 20 years of experience in golf simulator development.
While their website is an incomprehensible disaster, they sure do make awesome golf simulators at very reasonable prices. One of their best ones is the F-Series F2.
The F2 is on the mid to high end of the spectrum relative to their other offerings. Compatible with E6, TGC, and other software, it uses a two-camera system that is completely ceiling-mounted, making it fully functional for left-handed and right-handed players.
What Is Included
The GSA F2 simulator uses the VisTrak SCXi IR club and ball tracking panel. This consists of two high-speed stereo cameras operating at 1500 fps (3000 fps total) and built-in infrared LED lighting.
The SCXi system measures ball spin, ball path, ball speed, clubhead speed, club path, club face angle, and launch angle. Ball markings and additional lighting are needed in order to measure spin; otherwise, spin is calculated.
Video playback is also possible which shows the club impacting the ball in slow motion.
Aside from that, the F2 uses GSA’s drape enclosure, which is custom-made to fit your exact size requirements. Some of its features are:
- a premium 3-layer impact screen (16:9 widescreen)
- light and sound-absorbing drapes on the ceiling and sides
- padded grass turf carpeting
- sand, rough and fairway hitting panels
Various extras are available including a wood platform, stance mats, and a monitor stand.
The F2 simulator can be used with E6 CONNECT (additional features and courses available at extra cost), The Golf Club 2019 (150,000+ courses), GSPro, ProX (GSA’s in-house software), and Creative Golf 3D.
Setting up this simulator can be a challenge, and you may run into issues if it’s not done properly. Be sure to get in touch with support if you’re interested in a GSA simulator.
8. Foresight Sports GCHawk SIG10 Golf Simulator
If budget isn’t a concern and you want the absolute best ceiling-mounted system that allows for seamless left and right-handed use, look no further than the GCHawk, often referred to as the “world’s most advanced launch monitor”.
The GCHawk edges out the Uneekor EYE XO in terms of performance, but the unit itself plus the required FSX software license are very expensive.
If that doesn’t deter you, then one of the best things you can do is get the GCHawk as part of The Indoor Golf Shop’s SIG10 package which fits spaces with a ceiling height of around 9 feet.
What Is Included
The GCHawk SIG10 simulator package features the overhead-mounted GCHawk Launch Monitor. The GCHawk provides the same Tour-level accuracy for ball and club data that is offered by the GCQuad, but a unique added benefit is multisport functionality — particularly soccer simulation.
Also included are:
- a SIG10 simulator screen & enclosure
- side barrier netting & landing pad turf
- a Panasonic PT-VZ580U WUXGA projector
- two different ceiling mounts
- your choice of hitting mat (5’x5′, 4’x7′ or 4’x10′) or full flooring
- access to FSX 2020 and FSX Play software
- various accessories such as a remote control and alignment wand
The Panasonic PT-VZ580U is a premium standard throw projector (1:09-1.77:1) that puts out 5000 lumens and can project at 1920×1200 resolution. The image is designed to fill 100% of the SIG10’s tight-knit polyester impact screen.
Two add-ons are available with the GCHawk: Skill Drill (for soccer simulation) and club data. The included FSX software suite offers practice ranges, full course play, skills challenges, competitions, and more, while E6 CONNECT, Creative Golf 3D and FSX Play can be accessed with separate purchases.
Room dimensions of at least 9 ft high x 12 ft wide x 18 ft deep are required. This is a truly premium setup: the “Rolls-Royce” of golf simulators, if you will.
Buying Guide
Investing in a quality golf simulator that allows for seamless left and right-handed use is a big step.
Because of this, it’s important to consider all the factors that will affect the experience and match it with what your goals and requirements are.
Do you have a family member wanting to use the simulator who is left-handed? Are you having buddies over? Whatever the reason for needing to switch hands, here are the most important factors you need to consider when figuring out what golf simulator will be best for you:
1. Tracking System

When considering a golf simulator that can smoothly accommodate left and right-handed play, probably the most important influencing factor is how the tracking system is positioned.
Do you need to keep a device on or next to your hitting mat (e.g. SkyTrak)? Do you have cameras or sensors off to the side? Is the system mounted on the ceiling?
One of the most popular golf simulators, the SkyTrak, requires changing the position of the device and recalibrating it every time you want to change hands. This can be done, but many find it to be too much of a hassle. A launch monitor like the GC3 will also require repositioning.
However, simulators that have sensors underneath the hitting mat (OptiShot, TruGolf), use ceiling-mounted systems (Uneekor), or use launch monitors positioned behind the golfer (X3, KIT, Mevo+) will generally not require any additional adjustments when switching hands.
In these cases, you should make sure that the hitting zone is centered relative to the net or screen. Whether you’re left-handed or right-handed, your setup should give you ample space to stand and swing.
2. Size

Size is obviously a critically important factor in golf simulators. You need to have a clear understanding of the space available to contain the simulator, and what its dimensions are.
Measure the width, length and height of your space and compare it to the minimum space requirements of every golf simulator you look at.
In general, full golf simulator setups tend to need about 9 feet of height, 12 feet of width and 15 feet of depth, but there are more compact options. Common sense says that you should also have a buffer of a couple extra feet, but this may be difficult to achieve when it comes to ceiling height and that’s okay.
3. Net Vs. No Net

As you probably know, there are generally two options when it comes to golf simulators:
- You can project your shots onto a life-size screen.
- You can hit into a net, but still be able to view your shot data and see the ball flight on your connected computer or tablet.
All of the simulators reviewed on this page use a screen and projector. However, if you want to save money, you may be able to opt for just a net.
Not only are net setups considerably cheaper, but nets are also very portable and can easily be moved out of the way to repurpose a room if needed.
If the full golf simulator experience is important to you and you want to feel like you’re playing a real-life simulation, then you’ll probably want to invest in a screen and projector setup.
On the other hand, if you’re satisfied with seeing your shot data and ball flight on a PC or mobile device, then you should go with a net.
4. Simulator Software

You should also consider what kinds of things you want to do, games you want to play, and activities you want to take part in on your golf simulator. There are many software options available.
Here are examples of most of the software options covered on this page:
- E6 CONNECT: offers various course simulations, training aids, minigames, tournaments, and more.
- The Golf Club 2019: offers a typical practice range, numerous multiplayer modes, online tournaments and events, and the ability to design your own course
- QED Ignite: offers a practice range, photographic video playback technology, fitting data, and a swing motion analysis tool.
- EYE XO VIEW: offers a practice range, swing motion analysis tool, videos of club impact and ball spin, and more.
- ProX: offers a driving range, course play, and custom-designed golf course integration.
- GSPro: offers course design, local games, practice, tournaments, and online games.
Other software possibilities, depending on the simulator, include FSX, ProTee, TruGolf, Creative Golf 3D, and Perfect Parallel.
What software features do you see yourself using most often? Do you just want to practice on the range, play world-class courses, or both? Consider what software options are available when looking at simulators, and make your decisions accordingly.
5. Budget

Of course, your budget is very important when shopping for a golf simulator. Not everyone can afford simulator packages that cost $20,000+; fortunately, there are options that cost well below this amount.
With that said, simulators with ceiling-mounted systems or sensors underneath the hitting mat tend to be higher-end and more expensive than launch monitor simulators like the SkyTrak or Mevo+. It’s just the way it is.
In this guide, we’ve tried to include quality golf simulators over a range of budgets that are ideal for seamless switching from left to right-handed play. But the great thing is that you don’t have to drop the full cost of a simulator at once.
Our recommended golf simulator source here provides easy financing options that allow you to pay for your golf simulator over the course of a year or longer. Don’t forget about this option.
Conclusion
Golf simulators have become a lot more accessible and affordable over the past decade, and this means more golfers than ever before have been able to enjoy their own personal setup.
A quality, reliable golf simulator can be a huge boon to your golf toolkit. Finding a simulator package that is suitable for dual right and left-handed use is certainly possible with some research.
Each of the simulator options reviewed above offer excellent value for the cost. We’ve given you the information you need to make a decision; now it’s up to you to go the rest of the way.
While it’s likely that no golf simulator setup will tick every one of your boxes, some will come pretty close to doing so.
We highly recommend reading consumer and professional reviews of golf simulators to acquire useful insights as to how they actually perform. This will help you a lot in the decision-making process.
