We've already written about it, the revolutionary Square Golf launch monitor. Now there's big news again! From now on it's possible to link this launch monitor to the GSPro software.
Although the GSPro software is designed for the serious golfer, we at Golf Backyard believe that every golfer will enjoy this software. The graphics combined with the ball flight physics and the game options make GSPro one of the best software solutions for indoor golf simulation.
GSPro is officially supported by, among others, the Full Swing and Flightscope launch monitors. We can now add Square Golf to that list. For other launch monitors such as the SkyTrak+ and the Rapsodo MLM2PRo, there are also possibilities through the API/interface that can be used by anyone to create software to integrate GSPro. If you have one of these launch monitors, read this blog!
Imagine standing on the first tee of a world-famous golf course, the sun shining on your face and a light breeze caressing your skin. But instead of being outside, you are comfortably inside your own golf simulator. That is the magic of GSPro and a launch monitor.
In this blog we will tell you all about the golf simulation setup of GSPro in combination with Square Golf. How does this combination work, what are the advantages for both beginners and advanced players, and we will show you how GSPro can take your golf game to the next level.
The technology behind GSPro and Square Golf: Precision and realism in one package
GSPro uses advanced technology to create the most realistic golf experience possible. At the heart of every golf simulator is a high-quality launch monitor, in this case of course the Square Golf that accurately analyses every swing. Using advanced sensors, important data such as clubhead speed, ball speed, launch angle and spin are recorded. By combining this data with advanced physics algorithms, GSPro's software can simulate the exact trajectory and behaviour of the ball.
But GSPro goes beyond just measuring your swing. The software uses photorealistic 3D graphics to create a visually stunning golf environment. From the texture of the grass to the movement of the trees in the wind, every detail has been carefully recreated to make you feel like you’re actually on the golf course.
Some notable features of the GSPro technology are:
- Real-time ball flight visualization
- Accurate simulation of different surfaces (fairway, rough, bunkers)
- Dynamic weather conditions that affect your game
- Opportunity to play on digital versions of the world's most famous golf courses
This combination of precision and realism makes GSPro an experience so close to real golf that many professionals use the system for their training and preparation for major tournaments.
GSPro for Beginner Golfers: Learn Golf in a Relaxed Environment
Are you new to golf and do you practice indoors? Then GSPro is the perfect way to get acquainted with this fascinating sport. Unlike a real golf course, an indoor golf simulator offers a safe and comfortable environment to practice your first swings. Here are some reasons why GSPro is ideal for beginners:
- No intimidation: On a busy course, beginners can feel intimidated. With GSPro, you can practice in peace, without the pressure of other players waiting for you.
- Instant feedback: The simulator gives you immediate feedback on your swing, helping you learn and improve faster.
- Consistent conditions: Weather and track conditions won't affect your practice session, allowing you to fully concentrate on your technique.
- Learn through play: GSPro offers various game modes and exercises specifically designed to help beginners master the basics of golf.
One of the great advantages of GSPro for beginners is the ability to learn at your own pace. You can review as many times as you like, experiment with different clubs and techniques, and gradually build up your skills. In addition, you can choose from different difficulty levels, so you can continually challenge yourself as you improve.
GSPro for advanced players and professionals: Refine your technique and challenge yourself
For experienced golfers, GSPro offers a wealth of options to take your game to the next level. The simulator’s advanced analysis capabilities give you insight into every aspect of your swing, allowing you to focus on improving your technique. Here are some ways advanced players can benefit from GSPro:
- Detailed Swing Analysis: View your swing from different angles and analyze key parameters such as club path angle, face-to-path, and impact location.
- Course Management: Practice specific holes or situations that you find difficult on the real course.
- Club Fitting: Experiment with different clubs to create your perfect set.
- Tournament Preparation: Play Virtual Rounds on the Course
GSPro also allows you to improve your mental game. By practicing regularly in different simulated conditions, you can improve your concentration and focus. This helps you to better cope with the pressure of real match situations.
Many professional golfers use simulators like GSPro to perfect their game. The accuracy and consistency of the data provided by the simulator allows them to work on specific aspects of their game in a highly targeted manner. This level of analysis and practice was previously only available to top players, but thanks to software like GSPro and affordable launch monitors like Square Golf, amateur golfers can now benefit from these advanced training methods too.
GSPro: More than just a simulation software
GSPro is not only a technical feat, it is also a social platform that brings indoor golf enthusiasts together. The software offers various multiplayer options, allowing you to play online against friends or other GSPro users from all over the world. This social aspect adds an extra dimension to the indoor golf experience and makes it possible to play competitively all year round, even when the weather outside is not cooperating.
In addition, GSPro offers regular updates and new content. From new courses to challenging game modes, there is always something new to discover. This ensures that your interest in the game continues to grow and that you always have new challenges to look forward to.
Some interesting features of GSPro are:
- Virtual Golf Tournaments
- Leaderboards and statistics

This combination of realistic gameplay, social interaction and constant innovation makes GSPro much more than just a training tool.
