At $1,599 with zero subscriptions, the Square Omni immediately becomes one of the more interesting launch monitors I’ve seen in a while.
And considering the massive fan base for the original Square, I have no doubt this is going to sell extremely well when it comes out in late April 2026.
Why is this so compelling? Well because in 2026, it’s not just about the upfront price. It’s about what you’re committing to long-term. A lot of $3,000–$4,000 units still require $200+ per year to unlock the full experience.
So “buy it once, and you’re done” is refreshing.
This is part of why I’m still such a massive fan of the Flightscope Mevo Gen 2
So to have this in an optical unit, with some very novel features, is super compelling.
Four Cameras… But Does That Actually Matter?
On paper, the Omni looks stacked. Four cameras.
That’s more than devices like the Bushnell Launch Pro, SkyTrak+, Uneekor Eye Mini, or the new Golfjoy Spica 3.
But here’s the thing: camera count doesn’t automatically equal better data.
We’ve seen fewer-camera systems outperform higher-camera ones. What matters is spin consistency, spin axis accuracy, and how stable the data is across different lighting conditions.
Specs are fun. Consistency wins.
So I’m curious — but not sold just because there are four lenses staring back at me.
Club Data + Impact Detection… With No Stickers
This might be the killer feature of this unit.
If Square truly delivers club data and impact detection without requiring stickers or marked balls, that’s a big deal.
Thinking about it, the Mevo Gen 2 is the only launch monitor in this price range that has impact detection. It works great, but you still need stickers. And a lot of space, since that’s a doppler unit.
Stickers work. Marked balls work. But they’re friction. And friction kills usage.
If I can just drop a ball, hit shots, and get reliable club and impact data without prep work? That’s legitimately compelling at this (or any) price point.
This is one of the features I’m most interested in testing more thoroughly.
Indoor AND Outdoor Is a Big Upgrade
The original Square had a pretty limited use case.
The Omni being usable indoors and outdoors is a major step forward. That’s basically table stakes now in this category, and I’m glad they addressed it.
Garage sim in the winter. Range sessions in the summer. That flexibility matters.
If it performs well in both environments, that’s a big win.
Is this going to be the device that changes the golf launch monitor world forever? It very well might.
Design & Build: Not Quite Premium
This is one area where I’m a little hesitant.
In person, the design feels… a little odd. Not bad. Just not as refined or robust as something like the Launch Pro or Eye Mini.
It doesn’t have that same professional build quality feel.
Similar to the original Square, it doesn’t feel as high end, or well built.
In a brief look at the 2026 PGA Show, I didn’t think the built-in screen was the most legible when I saw it. Totally usable. But it didn’t scream high-end.
At $1,600, that might be a fair tradeoff. But if you’re comparing to other high end models, you’ll notice this.
My Biggest Question: Software
This is the big one for me.
Hardware gets all the headlines. Software is what you actually live in.
The first-party Square software in the past has been… fine. Perfectly usable. But just fine.
And “fine” isn’t really good enough anymore.
The new app from Foresight Sports is excellent. Yes, the Silver subscription is around $200/year, but the user experience is polished and the data presentation is clean. I’ve honestly been loving using the Launch Pro lately because of it.
Uneekor has made huge strides as well — their ecosystem feels mature now.
That’s stiff competition.
So while no subscription is a huge selling point — and it absolutely is — you might be giving up some refinement on the software side.
Whether that matters depends on the golfer.
However, there’s one big software benefit to the Omini, and that is….
GSPro with No Subscription
If you’re a GSPro user, this might be where the Omni really shines.
No extra subscription required just to unlock third-party sim use? That’s big.
For as much as I love both the Uneekor and the Bushnell, you need big subscriptions to unlcok the ability to use 3rd party software. For the Launch Pro that’s the $500 Gold membership. And this is on top of $250 a year for GSPro.
So it’s $500 more a year to use GSPro on the Bushnell than the Omni. That alone is going to be the difference for a lot of people.
My Early Take
Here’s where I land right now.
I love the price.
I love the no-subscription model.
I love the idea of club data and impact detection without stickers.
I love that it works indoors and outdoors.
I have concerns about build quality and reliability. And my biggest concerns come down to software performance.
If Square nails the data accuracy while keeping everything unlocked at $1,600, they may have quietly built one of the most disruptive launch monitors of the year.
But if the actual user experience isn’t excellent, then there are a number of more established brands that I think will win out in the long run.
I’m genuinely excited to test it more thoroughly and see which way it goes.
Is this going to be the device that changes the golf launch monitor world forever? It very well might.
