Frequently asked questions
Do you really need no PC?
None at all: Home Tee Hero runs on the built-in screen, with 43,000 courses. It connects directly to a projector or TV. A PC only becomes useful if you want GSPro or E6.
How much space does it need?
About 3 m of depth: it sits beside the ball with no clearance needed behind you. One of the few premium units that fit typical Belgian rooms.
How reliable is the club data?
Very — it's the R50's strong suit: 15+ metrics (face, path, attack angle…) measured by cameras, with no stickers on your clubs. Even some far pricier units don't offer that.
