TOKYO, Japan — March 2026 — GOLFJOY made a strong return to Japan Golf Fair 2026, one of Asia’s largest golf industry exhibitions, with its booth attracting a steady stream of visitors on the opening day. Following its debut appearance in 2025 as a Chinese golf simulator technology company at the event, GOLFJOY once again showcased its latest innovations in golf simulation and launch monitor technology to the Japanese market.
Throughout the first day of the exhibition, many golf enthusiasts, coaches, and industry professionals gathered at the GOLFJOY booth to experience the company’s latest golf technology products firsthand.
At Japan Golf Fair 2026, GOLFJOY officially introduced the new Rigel 3 Pro launch monitor, a ceiling-mounted launch monitor designed for permanent indoor golf simulator. Built for high-performance simulation environments, Rigel 3 Pro delivers precise ball and club data tracking while maintaining a seamless and immersive indoor golf experience.
Alongside the Rigel 3 Pro, GOLFJOY also showcased the latest version of its Spica 3 portable launch monitor.The newly upgraded version presented at the exhibition features further refinements designed to enhance accuracy, usability, and training flexibility for golfers practicing both indoors and outdoors.
Both systems attracted significant attention from visitors, many of whom had the opportunity to test the technology directly at the booth, generating strong interest among golfers and golf professionals.
At Japan Golf Fair 2026, GOLFJOY also introduced its GDA driving range integrated system to the Japanese market for the first time.
Developed specifically for golf practice facilities, the GDA system integrates data tracking, performance feedback, and training analysis into a unified platform designed to enhance both player development and range management.
Unlike traditional driving range setups that require separate launch monitor hardware and software systems, the GDA unit integrates both sensing technology and the GOLFJOY software platform into a single machine. This allows players to receive instant ball and club data at the moment of impact, while coaches and facility operators can conveniently access and manage training features directly through the on-screen GOLFJOY interface.
One memorable moment from the first day of Japan Golf Fair 2026 came when Japanese junior golfer Shido Arasuna (荒砂士道) visited the GOLFJOY booth together with his coach to experience our launch monitor technology.
Arasuna had been following GOLFJOY’s technology prior to the event, and after learning that we would be exhibiting at Japan Golf Fair 2026, he made a special trip to the venue specifically to test our Spica 3 launch monitor in person.
After experiencing the Spica 3 at our booth, Arasuna decided to purchase the Spica 3 on site to support his daily training and performance development. Despite his young age, Arasuna has already built an impressive record in international junior golf competitions, including:
His visit to the GOLFJOY booth reflects how data-driven training technology is becoming increasingly important for the next generation of competitive golfers, as more young players integrate launch monitor data into their daily practice routines.
Japan remains an important market in GOLFJOY’s global expansion strategy. By continuing to participate in Japan Golf Fair and engaging with local golfers, coaches, and golf facilities, the company aims to further introduce its golf simulator and launch monitor technologies to the Japanese golf community.
With strong interest already generated on the first day, GOLFJOY expects continued engagement from visitors and industry professionals throughout the remainder of Japan Golf Fair 2026.
