Why This Monitor
What sets the Spica 3 apart
See the Spica 3 in Action
Watch triple ultra high-speed cameras capture every detail of ball flight and club delivery. The Spica 3 provides instant feedback in under 0.3 seconds — see your data before you've finished your follow-through.
With 27 data points tracking ball speed, spin, launch angle, club path, and full trajectory, you get the complete cause-and-effect picture of every swing.
Triple-Camera Precision, AI-Powered
Three high-speed infrared cameras work in unison with synchronized LED lighting to capture every detail of impact in milliseconds. The Spica 3 uses photometric technology — not radar — for consistent, repeatable readings.
Powered by an advanced processing engine and proprietary AI algorithms, the system delivers accurate data for any golf ball, including unmarked white balls. No special equipment, no compromise on precision.
Built-In Touchscreen & Smart Connectivity
A built-in touchscreen display lets you control metrics, adjust settings, and view shot data without reaching for your phone or PC. It keeps your focus where it belongs — on your swing.
Connect via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or Bluetooth depending on your setup. Tap your phone to the built-in NFC chip to instantly access the GOLFJOY Space app. The Spica 3 also features GPS and smart altitude and temperature sensors for automatic environmental adjustments.
Real-Time Swing Analysis
The Spica 3's three high-speed cameras capture HD images in milliseconds, delivering real-time feedback on your swing and impact. See exactly what happened at contact — club face angle, path, and ball compression — with instant visual playback.
Whether you're dialing in your driver or fine-tuning wedge distances, the system tracks every nuance including high-lofted shots, chip-and-runs, and putts.
Portable Power, Indoors and Out
A 12,800 mAh integrated battery delivers 6.5–7.5 hours of continuous use — enough for a full day of practice on a single charge. Take it from the garage to the backyard to the range without ever plugging in.
At just 6.61 lbs, the Spica 3 is built for mobility. Place it flat or unfold the kickstand, hold the power button for one second, and you're hitting in minutes. A 9-axis gyroscope ensures stable readings even on uneven surfaces.
27 Data Points — The Complete Picture
The Spica 3 captures 27 data parameters across ball flight, club delivery, and full trajectory — giving you the complete cause-and-effect picture of every swing.
7 ball metrics, 4 club metrics (with included stickers), and 16 trajectory data points including apex, landing angle, hang time, curve, carry, and total distance. Feedback arrives in under 0.3 seconds.
One Purchase, Full Software Access
The Spica 3 is the complete package — no annual fees required to use it. Ships with a 3-month GOLFJOY PC software trial and lifetime free access to the GOLFJOY App.
Natively compatible with GSPro, E6 Connect, and Creative Golf with no extra connector licenses needed. Access the GOLFJOY 4K software with 200+ virtual courses, 12+ training modes, and full 16-parameter ball-flight analysis through the GOLFJOY PRO app.

Spica 3 Features & Technology
Triple High-Speed Camera System
Three high-speed infrared cameras capture ball and club data at impact with synchronized dual LED lighting. The photometric system delivers sub-0.3-second feedback, letting you see results before you've even finished your follow-through.
The AI-powered processing engine analyzes high-definition images in milliseconds, working with any standard golf ball — including unmarked white balls. No proprietary equipment required.
Ball Data — 7 Metrics Per Shot
Every swing captures 7 critical ball metrics:
- Ball Speed
- Launch Angle
- Back Spin
- Side Spin
- Spin Rate
- Spin Axis
- Launch Direction
Works with any standard golf ball — the same ball you trust on the course delivers the same data in your simulator.
Club Data — Club Sticker Tracking
With the included reflective clubhead stickers, the Spica 3 captures 4 club delivery metrics:
- Club Head Speed
- Attack Angle
- Club Path
- Smash Factor
Combined with ball data, you get the full cause-and-effect picture — what the club does, what the ball does, and how they connect.
Trajectory Data — 16 Flight Metrics
Beyond ball and club data, the Spica 3 calculates 16 trajectory parameters for complete ball-flight analysis:
- Apex (max height)
- Landing Angle
- Hang Time
- Carry Distance & Carry %
- Total Distance & Roll Distance
- Side Carry & Side Distance
- Curve & Curve Carry
- Deviation & Deviation Angle
- Center Line & Gap
- Launch Direction
- Roll %
Access all 27 combined data points through the GOLFJOY PRO app and PC software.
Touchscreen Display & Smart Sensors
The built-in touchscreen display puts metrics and settings at your fingertips — no phone or PC required to check shot data between swings.
Smart environmental sensors maintain accuracy in any condition:
- 9-Axis Gyroscope — stable readings on uneven surfaces
- GPS — location-aware calibration
- Barometer & Temperature Sensors — automatic adjustments for altitude and weather
Built-in NFC lets you tap your phone to instantly access the GOLFJOY Space app.
