GOLFBUDDY Shot Mate Launch Monitor
Make practice sessions more focused with the GOLFBUDDY Shot Mate radar launch monitor. The compact device provides real-time feedback on club speed, ball speed, smash factor and estimated carry or total distance, helping you understand how changes in strike or swing affect your shots. A separate Practice Swing Mode measures club speed without hitting a ball, making it useful for warm-ups and speed-training drills.
Shot Mate is designed for straightforward setup: place it approximately 1.0 to 1.5 metres behind the ball, point the radar toward the ball and swing. Select the club number to support distance estimates, then switch between carry and total distance on the display. The device stores up to 250 previous measurements, so you can review a session and monitor progress over time.
The backlit LCD display, built-in kickstand and rechargeable lithium battery make the unit portable for practice at the range or in a suitable indoor setup. It charges by USB-C and delivers around 2.5 to 3 hours of continuous use. No app or subscription is required. The sensor’s stated speed range is 20 to 200 mph, and readings can be shown in mph/yards or km/h/metres.
Shot Mate is a training aid for observing practice data; distance is estimated and should be treated as a guide rather than a replacement for a calibrated club fitting. The device is not waterproof, so keep it dry and avoid use in rain, humid or dusty conditions. The box includes the monitor, USB-C cable, user guide and warranty card. Its compact size makes it easy to store between sessions.

The Bold Golfer FAQs
Got questions? We’ve got answers! If you do not find your answer here, please use the contact page to let us know.
What makes The Bold Golfer different from a traditional online pro shop?
Unlike standard retail outlets, we do not stock physical inventory, manage transactions, or ship orders. We operate as an independent golf publication and globally aggregated product catalog, sourcing real-time deals from trusted manufacturers and merchants worldwide to simplify your golfing gear research.
How do your country-specific live pricing buttons work?
We partner with premium golf merchants across different continents. When browsing a product, simply click the button matching your region (e.g., USA, UK, AUS, or EU) to be directed instantly to an authorised local retailer with current stock and localised pricing.
Do I pay any extra fees or hidden premiums by using your outbound links?
No. Every outbound link on our site redirects you directly to the official merchant's checkout at zero extra cost to you. Our platform is fully supported through tracking commissions paid to us by our retail partners when you complete a qualifying purchase.
Who should I contact if I have an issue with an order or a delivery delay?
Because all sales are finalised directly on our partner merchants' secure websites, any questions regarding order processing, shipping, tracking numbers, or returns should be handled directly with the specific retailer you purchased from.
Are the products featured on your site brand new or pre-owned?
Our automated product feeds primarily highlight brand-new, current-generation golf equipment from major manufacturers. However, when we link to specialised premium clearance warehouses, any pre-owned or refurbished status will be clearly indicated on the partner site.
How do you choose which golf brands and products to feature on your website?
We select brands based entirely on manufacturing compliance, tournament-tested reputation, and user feedback. From industry titans like TaylorMade and Callaway to elite direct-to-consumer simulator labels, we aim to cover the full spectrum of high-performance gear.
How often is the product data and retail stock updated?
We utilise dynamic product data feeds that sync regularly with our global affiliate networks to ensure that our configurations, manufacturer names, and global retail channels remain accurate for our community of golfers.
