Owning it: warranty, returns and rules
| Manufacturer warranty | Bushnell Golf Europe gives a one-year limited warranty on the Launch Pro. Warranty terms ↗ |
|---|---|
| Left- and right-handed golfers | It sits beside the ball, so it has to be moved to the other side when a left-hander takes over. Rooms shared by both need extra width. |
| Before you order | Check exactly which parts the package price includes (screen, enclosure, mat, projector, PC and software) and who installs it. See our installation guide. |
