The Return of a Launch Monitor Favorite
If you’ve followed indoor golf for a while, you know the Bushnell Launch Pro changed the game when it first dropped. Finally, golfers could get Foresight-powered accuracy without spending fifteen grand on a launch monitor. It gave everyday players access to the same kind of data the pros use — and that combo of quality and value caught on fast.
Now it’s back with a fresh spin. The Launch Pro Circle B Edition takes everything people loved about the original and wraps it in a bold orange-and-black look with a simpler, more affordable setup. Bushnell didn’t rebuild it from scratch — they listened to golfers, trimmed the fat, and made the lineup easier to understand and easier to own.
What’s New with the Circle B Edition
The first thing you’ll notice is the look. The Circle B’s orange-and-black finish stands out immediately — sharp, modern, and right at home in a sim room or fitting bay.
The bigger change, though, is simplicity and value:
- Two clear models: the full-featured Launch Pro and the indoor-focused LPi.
- Lower prices: $2,499 for Launch Pro and $1,499 for LPi — same Foresight camera pedigree.
- Simplified software: choose FSX Play Silver or Gold and go. No weird add-ons.
Bottom line: same accuracy, new look, lower price, and less confusion.
Launch Pro vs LPi — Breaking Down the Two Models
Launch Pro (Circle B Edition) — $2,499
This is the do-it-all version. Practice anywhere — range, garage, or simulator — and get the numbers that matter: carry distance, ball speed, launch angle, total spin, side spin, spin tilt axis, and (with the software add-on) club data like path, attack angle, and smash factor.
You get a built-in display for instant feedback and an internal battery for portable sessions. If you want one monitor that works indoors and outdoors, this is it.
LPi (Circle B Edition) — $1,499
The LPi is built for indoor sim golfers. It uses the same high-speed camera system and delivers the same accuracy, but drops portability features to save you a thousand bucks.
- Plug-in only: no internal battery.
- No built-in display: view data on your connected PC.
- Optimized for permanent or semi-permanent sim setups.
Accuracy is identical to Launch Pro. You’re just skipping portability and paying less for it. You also get a 14-day FSX Play Gold trial to test full simulation right away.

How It Differs from the Original Launch Pro
Performance-wise, nothing changed — and that’s exactly what people wanted. You’re still getting the same Foresight Sports camera system, the same reliability, and the same precision that made the first Launch Pro a favorite among players, fitters, and coaches.
The Circle B edition is about clarity and value: a cleaner look, a simpler lineup, and lower subscription pricing that makes long-term ownership easier. Think of it like a model-year refresh — same engine, new styling, better deal.
Which One Should You Get?
Quick way to decide:
Choose the LPi if…
- Your setup is 100% indoors — garage, basement, spare room.
- You want pro-level accuracy at the lowest price.
- You’re fine running everything through a computer.
- You plan to build a permanent or semi-permanent sim bay.
Choose the Launch Pro if…
- You want to use it inside and outside.
- You like seeing numbers instantly on the device screen.
- You want true portability with an internal battery.
- You prefer the “full” version with every capability built in.
Software & Subscriptions (FSX Play)
Both devices run on FSX Play, the same Foresight Sports platform used across commercial simulators. Choose the tier that fits how you’ll use it:
- FSX Play Silver: range sessions, practice tools, essential performance tracking.
- FSX Play Gold: full simulation, multiple courses, and third-party integrations like GSPro (sold separately).
Every Circle B unit includes a 14-day Gold trial so you can test all features and then decide what fits best. Subscriptions are annual, and you can cancel anytime.
Why the Circle B Edition Hits at the Right Time
Indoor golf is booming. Between rising course fees and busy schedules, more golfers are realizing they can get better — and have more fun — at home. Bushnell leaned into that trend. By bringing the same Foresight technology down to the $1,499–$2,499 range, they made high-end accuracy something more golfers can justify.
The Circle B Edition isn’t about bells and whistles; it’s about access. It gives golfers of every skill level the tools to train with confidence, dial in numbers, and enjoy premium simulation without overspending.
Final Thoughts
The Bushnell Launch Pro Circle B Edition takes an already-great product and makes it easier to say yes to. You get the same trusted Foresight engine, a modern design, simpler pricing and subscriptions, and two clear options built around how you actually play.
If you’ve been waiting for the right time to build your sim setup, this is it. The Circle B lineup gives you more ways to practice, compete, and improve — rain or shine.
