Free Golf Simulator Tools: Planner, Calculators and Swing Analyzer

Planning a golf simulator? These free GSV tools answer the questions that come up before anyone buys anything: what fits the room, which launch monitor suits, which projector fills the screen, what the whole build costs and what the swing needs. The room size checker, the launch monitor finder and the projector calculator use the same room rules as the 3D GSV Sim Builder, so their answers agree with it and with each other. Jay Lasco, host of Golf Simulator Videos, built them from years of testing simulators on camera, and the calculators end with GSV's links, codes and a free consultation with GSV's partner builders.

The free tools

• Upload a swing videoFree golf swing analyzerUpload a swing video and AI body tracking measures tempo, head movement, hip rotation and more in the browser. The report can be emailed, with an optional GSV Weekly sign-up.
• Room sizeGolf simulator room size checkerEnter the width, length and ceiling to see which launch monitors fit the room, and what would need a change.
• Launch monitorsLaunch monitor finderBudget, room, outdoors, GSPro and club data: answer a few questions and see the launch monitors that suit.
• ProjectorsGolf simulator projector calculatorWhich projectors fill the screen from where they can mount in the room, how big the picture is and how far over the golfer it sits.
• BudgetGolf simulator cost calculatorPick the launch monitor, screen, projector, mat and PC to see an estimated range for the whole build.
• ComputersGolf simulator PC benchmarksFrame rates for GSPro, E6 Apex, FSX Play, GameDay and Trackman on four graphics cards, at 1080p and 4K, as charts.

GSV Tested: hands-on results and data

The reviews on GSV are made with the gear in front of the camera. These pages carry the measured results and the data behind them.

• Golf simulator PC benchmarks: SurfThing's frame rate tests of four RTX 50 series PCs in five simulator programs, checked against SurfThing's own data sheet and drawn as charts.
• SurfThing RTX 5080 review: GSV's own GSPro and Trackman readings in 4K on the RTX 5080 build.
• Infinite Tees 4K update: the new physics, dual screen mode and flyovers, tested with early access before the release.
• Uneekor AI Report review: what Uneekor's AI swing analysis said after 10 shots, and how long it took.
• PuttView cost and the P7 Plus: Jay's own PuttView P7 Plus, at home since 2020, through its software updates and three PGA Shows, and connected to his Foresight simulator in 2026.

How the tools work

The room size checker, the launch monitor finder and the projector calculator run the GSV Sim Builder's own room rules in the browser: each launch monitor at its maker's published distances, each projector at its maker's throw ratio, and a golfer and a driver at real sizes. The room typed into one tool carries over to the next and to the 3D builder for the rest of the visit, so there is no typing it again. Nothing typed into these tools is sent anywhere unless a free consultation is asked for.

Prices in the finder are the makers' own list price bands. Prices in the cost calculator are GSV's estimate ranges from real builds. Shops run sales, and GSV's discount codes can take more off.

Golf simulator tools questions

Are the GSV golf simulator tools free?

Yes. Every tool on this page is free, with no sign-up. An email address is needed only for an emailed copy of a swing report, which is optional, as is the GSV Weekly sign-up beside it.

Do the tools agree with the 3D Sim Builder?

Yes. The room size checker, the launch monitor finder and the projector calculator run the Sim Builder's own room rules, and every result opens in the 3D builder with the same room.

Which tool comes first?

The room size checker, because the room decides which launch monitors and enclosures can work. Then the launch monitor finder, the projector calculator and the cost calculator, and the 3D Sim Builder to see it all together.

Where do the prices in the tools come from?

The launch monitor finder uses each maker's own list price, in price bands. The cost calculator uses GSV's estimate ranges from real builds. Shops run sales, and GSV's codes can take more off.

What is GSV Tested?

The pages with measured results and test data behind GSV's reviews, such as frame rates, readings and reports, rather than specs alone.

Can GSV's partner builders help with the whole build?

Yes. The free consultation puts you in touch with master builders Jay hand-picked, who offer package deals on the whole build, DIY packages and full installation.
