The TruGolf Apogee is a ceiling-mounted photometric launch monitor released in 2023, listed at $9,000 and $7,995 on official sale as of September 2026. Two overhead cameras measure ball and club data - club speed, path and face angle - from unmarked clubs and balls, over a laser-marked 8 x 10 inch hitting zone, with seamless right/left-handed play under ceilings from 9 feet. It runs exclusively on TruGolf's E6 software: a year's E6 subscription is included, renewal pricing after that is not published, and no third-party simulator titles are supported. It sells through TruGolf and specialty sim dealers.
