Before you decide
The Questions Buyers Actually Ask.
Straight answers about the Spica 3, and where the honest answer is "it depends," we say so.
Does it work indoors and outdoors?
Yes, both. A built-in gyroscope, barometer and temperature sensor keep readings stable as conditions change. Indoors, give it about 2 yards from ball to screen or net, and a 9-foot ceiling clears a driver swing for most players.
Do I need a subscription to use it?
Spica 3 includes 3 months of the GOLFJOY Pro mobile app's full features on iOS and Android. GOLFJOY PC software is not included. Course play on a Windows PC needs a current GOLFJOY annual plan, Professional at $249 per year or Diamond at $799 per year, purchased separately. The app's continued terms after the included period are shown in the app. Spica 3 also connects to GSPro, E6 and Creative Golf 3D, and those programs are licensed separately by their publishers.
How do I get club data?
Stick the included reflective stickers on your clubface and the cameras read club speed, club path, smash factor and attack angle directly. 100 stickers come in the box. Each takes a few seconds to apply and lasts many sessions.
Can it run my home simulator?
That's its main job. It connects to GOLFJOY PC software on a compatible Windows 10 or 11 computer, which needs a current annual plan purchased separately, and to separately licensed GSPro, E6 or Creative Golf 3D. The built-in battery runs about 7.5 hours, so there is no power cable across your hitting area unless you want one.
How does it compare with other premium portable camera monitors?
Spica 3 uses three high-speed cameras, a built-in touchscreen and indoor or outdoor modes. It includes 3 months of the GOLFJOY Pro mobile app, and PC course play uses a separately purchased annual plan. When comparing portable monitors, ask each seller for the capture method, exactly which software is included, the plan price afterward and the third-party software cost in writing.
Not Sure the Spica 3 Fits Your Space?
Send your room dimensions and budget. A GOLFJOY specialist in Irvine, CA will tell you honestly what fits, including when the answer is a different unit.
