Attach the unit – With two people, lift and slide the ProTee VX into the bracket until the pin locks.
Run cables – Connect the Cat6 cable from the ProTee VX to your PC and plug in the power cable. Hide cables in ceiling panels or along walls for a clean look.

Performance and Club Data Analysis

Practice Mode

The Pro Tee Labs software is a highlight, with fully customizable screens, impact location visuals, top and side flight paths, and historical shot filtering by club. For example, you can filter just your 6-iron shots and see averages for carry, total, spin, and more.

The offset hitting zone is a major advantage for tighter bays — we comfortably swung a driver in a 13-foot-wide space by moving the ball toward one side of the detection area.

We tested with GS Pro, which integrated seamlessly after a quick support-assisted setup. The Auto-Connect feature recognized the ProTee VX instantly on subsequent sessions.

Gameplay observations:

Instant ball flight in GS Pro — no lag or sync issues.
Accurate putting detection with audio-ready indicators.
Smooth hole-to-hole transitions without needing to recalibrate.

The ProTee VX is also compatible with:

E6 Connect
Pro Tee Play
Creative Golf
Potential future: E6 Apex

We played a round at Abacoa Golf Club in GS Pro and saw consistent, realistic results from tee to green.
