Golfzon Wave: Room Requirements & Exact Placement

Golfzon · Doppler radar · typical price $749 · Updated June 2026

The Golfzon Wave is a Doppler-radar unit that sits on the floor 6.5–8 ft behind the ball, looking down the line of flight. Add the recommended 8–10 ft of ball-to-screen distance and you arrive at the manufacturer's 16–18 ft room-depth recommendation (19 ft is a realistic working minimum with a buffer behind the unit). Keep metal pipes, frames, and rotating fans out of the radar's view — they add noise to spin readings.

Frequently asked questions

How far behind the ball does the Golfzon Wave sit?

6.5 to 8 feet behind the ball, aligned with the target line, with the ball 8–10 feet from the impact screen.

What room size do I need for the Golfzon Wave?

Plan on 16–18 feet of room depth: ball-to-screen plus the radar's space behind the ball. Ceiling and width depend on your height and swing — check the free room calculator.

Does the Golfzon Wave work indoors?

Yes — it's designed for sim use at these distances, though indoor spin on short flights is calculated rather than fully measured on some shots.
