Trackman iO: Room Requirements & Exact Placement

Trackman · Radar + vision · typical price $19,999 · Updated June 2026

The Trackman iO mounts to the ceiling 9–11 ft above the floor, positioned directly above the tee. Overhead units cost more but solve the two classic floor-unit problems: nothing in the swing path, and both right- and left-handed golfers play without moving anything. Bolt the bracket into a joist (never drywall alone), and coordinate its position with your projector mount — both live on the ceiling centerline. If your ceiling is taller than 11 ft, use a drop pole to bring the unit into its rated window.

Frequently asked questions

How high should the Trackman iO be mounted?

9 to 11 feet above the floor, directly above the tee. Taller ceilings need a drop pole to bring it into range.

What ceiling height do I need for the Trackman iO?

At least 9 ft. Remember your swing needs roughly 9 ft or more of clearance anyway, so most rooms that fit a full swing also fit this unit.

Does the Trackman iO work for left-handed golfers?

Yes — overhead mounting covers both handedness without repositioning, which is a key advantage over floor units in shared sims.
