How We Source and Check These Reviews
- Verified purchase
- The reviewer was matched to a GOLFJOY order before publication.
- Owner quote supplied to GOLFJOY
- An owner gave us these words directly, by email, in person or through the form on this page. We checked the person and the product, and there is no public post to link to.
- Creator or media review
- Published by an independent creator or outlet. The card links to the original so you can watch or read it in full.
- Forum post
- Written by someone in a public golf community. The card links to the original thread. We did not commission it and the author is not connected to GOLFJOY.
Every review passes a human check before it appears. We publish the reviewer's own rating and words as written, with only our house style applied: long dashes and semicolons become commas, GOLFJOY is written in capitals and sizes are written with an x. A paid or incentivized review carries that label on the card.

Before you decide
The Questions Buyers Actually Ask.
Straight answers about the GDS Pro, and where the honest answer is "it depends," we say so.
Can I still buy a new GDS Pro?
No. GDS Pro is retired from the current US sales lineup. This page remains available for existing owners. New buyers should review Spica 3, and existing owners can use the legacy manual or contact support with their serial number and software version.
How does camera capture work indoors?
Two high-speed cameras image the ball and club at the hitting area. Setup and calibration are guided through the GOLFJOY Lite app, and the system is designed for rooms with short ball-flight space.
Do I need a subscription to use it?
Legacy GDS Pro purchases included 3 months of GOLFJOY software access. Existing owners should confirm the compatible renewal path with support. GSPro, E6 and Creative Golf 3D use licenses sold separately by their publishers.
What space do I need?
About 2 yards from ball to screen or net, and a ceiling around 9 feet so a driver swing clears comfortably. Setup is app-guided through GOLFJOY Lite. The app walks you through calibration the first time.
Can I start with just the monitor and build the sim later?
If you already own a GDS Pro, you can use it with a net and later add an enclosure, screen, projector and mat. New buyers should review the current Spica 3 instead.
Need Help with a GDS Pro You Already Own?
