Upgrades and Alternates
Looking to tweak your budget build or planning to scale up over time? Here are some solid alternates and upgrades for each core component to help you customize your setup based on your space, goals, or future upgrades.
Launch Monitor
Upgrade: FlightScope Mevo Gen2 [$1,299]— Radar-based, accurate, and works indoors or outdoors. A great fit if you have the room depth for it.

Golf Mat
Budget Option: GoSports Pro Mat [$99]— solid option on a budget. A much more realistic hitting experience than that old door mat you have laying around.
