Square Golf HE vs OMNI: Specs, Price and Which One Fits Your Simulator
Both Square Golf launch monitors are out, both sit beside the ball, and neither one charges a subscription. The $699 Home Edition is an indoor camera unit. The $1,599 OMNI adds four cameras, outdoor use, unmarked balls, club speed, impact location and a screen on the unit. Here is what each one does, side by side.
Two Good Units for Two Different Golfers
The Square Golf HE is built for an indoor bay. It is the lowest-priced camera launch monitor GSV has tested, it reads ball and club data from the side of the ball, and it runs up to 8 hours on a charge. It needs a room with little to no sunlight, and it uses patterned balls and a club marker for its full data.
The Square Golf OMNI is built for the golfer who wants one unit for the simulator and the range. Four cameras read any ball with no markings, it works outdoors on real grass, it adds club speed and impact location, and a screen on the unit shows each shot without a phone. It costs $900 more.
Neither one is better for everyone. The right pick comes down to where you hit balls and which numbers you want to see.

Five Differences That Matter
- Outdoors. The OMNI works on natural turf at the range. The HE manual asks for a room with little to no sunlight.
- Any ball. The OMNI reads unmarked balls. The HE uses its patterned balls for the full spin and club data.
- More club data. Club speed and impact location on the face, which the HE does not measure.
- A screen on the unit. Ball data and carry show on the OMNI after each shot, with no phone or PC.
- A bigger hitting zone. About 10 x 10 in on the OMNI against about 6 x 6 in on the HE, so the ball does not have to sit in such an exact spot.
Square Golf OMNI vs Sun and Turf: The Field Test
Outdoor use is the OMNI's biggest difference from the HE, so GSV took it outside onto turf and into direct sunlight. Square Golf's manual still says to keep direct sunlight from shining into the cameras, so set the unit up with the sun behind it or to the side.
GSV Take: For a golfer who sims all winter and practices at the range all summer, the OMNI is one unit for both. For a golfer who only ever hits into a screen, the HE covers it for $900 less.
Where the Home Edition Holds Its Own
- Price. $699 is the lowest list price of any camera launch monitor GSV has tested.
- Battery. Up to 8 hours on a charge, against 5 to 7 hours on the OMNI.
- Swing stick. The HE comes with a swing stick for swing practice with no ball. The OMNI does not.
- Same GSPro connection. Both are on GSPro's list of supported launch monitors, and Square Golf's free SQG GSPro Connect works with both.
- Small rooms. Both sit beside the ball, so neither needs the space behind the golfer that a radar unit does.
Jay's tip from testing the HE: use the patterned balls and the club marker for the full data, and Titleist TP5x balls gave the most consistent readings in GSV's indoor testing.

Fitting Either Unit in Your Room
Both units stand on the floor beside the ball, facing the golfer, so the room needs space to the side of the hitting mat, not behind it. The HE's hitting zone is centered about 16 1/2 in in front of the unit. The OMNI's starts 14 in in front of it and runs about 10 in deep, and Square Golf's manual says to play the ball toward the front of that zone so the cameras catch the club.
A left-handed golfer stands on the other side of the ball, so in a room shared by right- and left-handed golfers the unit moves to the other side of the mat. The OMNI has a left-handed setting, in the app or on the unit, that moves its hitting zone to the unit's left.
Plan the room first. The GSV Sim Builder places the Square Golf HE and the OMNI in a 3D model of your room, with the screen size, projector and hitting mat, from the room size you enter.
Who Each One Fits
The HE fits a golfer who
- hits balls only in an indoor bay, garage or basement
- wants a camera unit at the lowest price
- is happy to use the patterned balls and the club marker
- wants the longest battery life of the two
- plays GSPro or the Square Golf app on a big screen, so a display on the unit adds little
The OMNI fits a golfer who
- wants to take the unit to the range or onto real grass
- wants to hit any ball in the bag, with no markings
- wants club speed and impact location
- wants to see each shot on the unit without a phone
- wants a bigger hitting zone for teeing up

Square Golf HE vs OMNI FAQ
What is the difference between the Square Golf HE and the OMNI?
The Square Golf HE ($699 MSRP) is an indoor camera launch monitor that uses patterned balls and a club marker for its full data. The OMNI ($1,599 MSRP) has four cameras, works indoors and outdoors, reads any ball with no markings, adds club speed and impact location, and has a screen on the unit. Both sit beside the ball and neither has a subscription.
Can the Square Golf HE be used outdoors?
No. Square Golf's manual says to set the HE up in a room with little to no sunlight. The OMNI is the Square Golf unit made for outdoor use, including natural turf.
Does the Square Golf OMNI need marked golf balls?
No. The OMNI reads any golf ball with no markings. For club data it uses two stickers: one on the shaft for club path and attack angle, and one on the face for impact location and club speed.
Do the Square Golf HE and OMNI work with GSPro?
Yes. GSPro lists both units as supported, and in GSV's November 2025 round GSPro found the HE and connected on its own. Square Golf also offers its free SQG GSPro Connect and charges nothing for either way in. GSPro itself is $250 a year from GSPro.
Do the Square Golf HE or OMNI need a subscription?
No. Neither unit has a subscription for its data or for the connection to third-party software.
Is there a Square Golf discount code for the HE and OMNI?
Yes. Code GSVSQUARE takes 5% off both at Square Golf USA: the HE's $699 becomes $664.05 and the OMNI's $1,599 becomes $1,519.05.
Do the Square Golf HE and OMNI work for left-handed golfers?
Both units sit beside the ball facing the golfer, so for a left-handed golfer the unit goes on the other side of the ball. The OMNI's manual covers this with a left-handed setting, in the app or on the unit, that moves its hitting zone to the unit's left. The HE's manual does not cover left-handed setup, so a left-handed golfer looking at the HE can ask Square Golf before buying.
How long do the Square Golf HE and OMNI batteries last?
Square Golf rates the HE at up to 8 hours on a charge and the OMNI at 5 to 7 hours. Both batteries are replaceable and take about 6 hours to charge from empty.
