GR2 vs GR3: Which GOLFJOY Overhead Is Right for You?
Both the GOLFJOY Rigel 2 (GR2) and Rigel 3 (GR3) are ceiling-mounted overhead launch monitors built with aerospace-grade aluminum, designed to deliver up to 32 key golf metrics, smart putting features, and wide sensing coverage for consistent shot tracking. The key differences come down to camera system, speed, and level of visual feedback.
Rigel 2 (GR2)
A dual-camera overhead launch monitor built for reliable performance in home and indoor simulator setups, offering full ball and club data with strong value for game improvement.
- Dual-camera overhead design with front-facing installation
- Up to 32 key golf metrics covering ball and club data
- Captures 7 ball metrics and 9 club data points per shot
- Smart putting system for indoor short-game training
- Wide sensing area reduces the need for ball repositioning
- High-performance processing: ≤ 0.4 s calculation time, ≤ 0.3 s detection latency
Best for: Players who want a dependable overhead system with full data tracking and smart putting at a more value-focused level for home or indoor practice.
Rigel 3 (GR3)
A premium triple-camera overhead system designed for faster processing, enhanced responsiveness, and richer visual feedback for more advanced indoor setups.
- Triple-camera overhead design with front-facing installation
- Up to 32 key golf metrics with enhanced clubhead playback
- Captures 7 ball metrics and 9 club data points per shot
- Advanced smart putting system with 200+ scenarios, 3 cup groups, and 11 power settings
- Wide sensing area minimizes ball repositioning
- Faster performance: ≤ 0.3 s calculation time, ≤ 0.2 s detection latency
Best for: Players who want the fastest response time, deeper visual analysis, and a more premium simulator experience for serious home or commercial-style setups.
Both the GR2 and GR3 are fully compatible with GOLFJOY software as well as leading third-party simulator platforms such as E6 and GSPro (software licenses sold separately). Both models also share similar installation and space requirements, supporting left- and right-handed golfers with an overhead sensing area of approximately 250 mm × 250 mm.
