How deep, step by step
How much room depth does KIT need?
Measure the full room depth, including the space behind the screen and behind the monitor.
Full Swing asks for 8–10 ft of ball flight and 8–10 ft behind the ball. The calculator adds a 1 ft screen gap, following Foresight’s guidance, plus 1 ft of rear clearance.
That makes 18 ft minimum and 22 ft comfortable by this site’s estimate. These are calculated room depths, not total-room dimensions published by Full Swing.

In the maker’s words
What does Full Swing actually specify?
Full Swing’s KIT guidance gives the same 8–10 ft range on each side of the ball. The calculator uses the lower ends for minimum depth and the upper ends for comfortable depth.
Full Swing does not publish a KIT-specific minimum ceiling height on the pages checked. Its separate simulator guidance recommends 10 ft; that is not a published KIT minimum.
The maker specifies radar space; ceiling clearance still depends on the golfer and club.

Will it fit
Will KIT fit these sample rooms?
Check with slow swings first; ceiling protection and ball rebound remain the owner’s responsibility.
For a 5′9″ golfer using a driver, this site’s model marks the garage tight at its 9 ft ceiling. The basement and spare bedroom fail both ceiling and depth checks. The dedicated room has ceiling clearance, but its 20 ft depth remains tight.
These are estimates, not measurements, calibrated against SkyTrak, Trackman and Foresight statements. Adjust the room calculator for your golfer and club.

Where it costs what
Where is KIT listed for sale?
Full Swing listed KIT at $4,999 on October 17, 2026. The Indoor Golf Shop, PlayBetter, Rain or Shine Golf and GolfBays each listed the same price on October 19, 2026.
For a British purchase, GolfBays UK listed KIT at £5,999 on October 19, 2026. These are launch-monitor listings, not a complete installed simulator budget.
The checked US listings show no price difference; compare what each purchase includes.
Against the alternatives
Which alternatives need less depth?
KIT’s rear placement makes room depth a deciding factor among these alternatives.
Garmin listed the Approach R50 at $4,999.99 on October 17, 2026. Foresight Sports listed the GC3 at $3,999 on October 19, 2026. Both need about 14 ft of depth by this site’s estimate.
The ceiling-mounted ProTee VX also has an estimated 14 ft depth; The Indoor Golf Shop listed it at $6,500 on October 19, 2026. Placement, rather than price alone, changes which launch monitors suit a shorter room.

Three years of ownership
What does three-year ownership cost?
The hardware-only starting point is $4,999, listed by Full Swing on October 17, 2026. Full Swing includes free app access for tracking data and video.
Full Swing Golf for KIT, available with KIT Studio PC packages, requires a subscription. Full Swing publishes no price on the pages checked, so a complete three-year software total cannot be calculated.
Treat the hardware figure as a starting cost, not a complete three-year simulator total.

Where it goes
Where does KIT sit for left-handers?
Full Swing places KIT behind the ball, rather than beside the golfer. For a shared right- and left-handed room, swing width still needs its own check.
For a 6′2″ golfer and both handednesses, this site’s model estimates 13 ft 4 in of width. Rear placement does not remove the need for club clearance on both sides.
Plan the hitting position around both swings, not just the monitor’s footprint.
