⚡ Our Verdict
The Square Golf Omni is the best launch monitor under $300 — and it isn't close. Eight data metrics, zero subscription fees, a clean app, and accuracy that genuinely rivals units at twice the price on ball speed and carry distance. Its limits are real: no spin rate, outdoor only, no simulator support. But for the golfer who wants range data without complexity or recurring costs, this is the right buy.

FAQ
For ball speed and carry distance tracking, yes — it tests within 2.3% of TrackMan. For spin rate: it doesn't measure spin at all. If your practice involves working on spin loft, trajectory tuning, or equipment fitting, the Omni isn't the right tool. For distance verification and shot shape tracking, it's accurate enough for any level of golfer.
No. The Square Golf Omni requires visible ball flight for its camera system and does not function reliably indoors against a net. For indoor use, look at the Garmin R10 ($599) or Rapsodo MLM2Pro ($699) instead.
