Square Omni Edition Space Requirements – How Much Space Do You Need for a Square Omni Golf Simulator Studio?
How much space do you need for a Square Omni in your home golf simulator? Our golf experts have spent time with this launch monitor indoors and share everything you need to know!
Square changed the game once already as the first to market with a sub-$1,000 camera-based launch monitor. And now they’re on the verge of doing it again with an improved version that, for only $1,600, works outdoors and has all the ball and club data you could want, including D-plane metrics and impact location tracking.
The first Square is indoors-only. The new Omni can work indoors or outdoors.
The first Square is missing some key cornerstone data metrics like smash factor and clubhead speed. The new Omni includes them and goes much further.
The first Square is a bit flimsily built and doesn’t include any kind of onboard display. The Omni is far more robust and shows you five of your data metrics right on the device itself.
In other words, for $1,600 with no subscriptions, the Square Omni might be the absolute perfect launch monitor for your simulator setup dreams.
But do you have enough room? How much space is required to operate a Square Omni? Let’s take a look.
How Much Indoor Space Do You Need for a Square Omni Golf Simulator?
The Omni uses an improved version (now four cameras) of the same photometric system as the original Square, capturing data from the side of the ball at the moment of impact. That’s fundamentally different from radar launch monitors like the FlightScope Mevo Gen2 or Rapsodo MLM2PRO, which position several feet behind you and need to track the ball’s entire flight.
Because the Omni doesn’t need to follow the ball down range, you can use it in a dramatically smaller space.
While requirements vary based on your height and swing length, here are our general room-size recommendations for comfortably using a Square Omni indoors:
- 10 feet wide
- 10 feet deep
- 9 feet tall
These are simply guidelines. You may very well be able to safely get away with less space, and you will undoubtedly be that much more comfortable if you have more space.
The key considerations are having enough room around you to complete your swing without hitting a wall or ceiling, and enough space in front so the ball won’t rebound back into you.
The Tradeoff: Righties vs Lefties
Like other side-mounted camera-based launch monitors (Launch Pro Circle B, GC3, SkyTrak+, R50, Uneekor Eye Mini, etc.), the Square Omni does have one limitation: If you plan to host both right- and left-handed golfers in the same sim session, you’ll need to move the unit from one side of the ball to the other.
It’s not a dealbreaker, but it’s worth knowing. With radar units that sit behind the ball (Mevo Gen2, MLM2PRO, R10, SC4 Pro, etc.), the launch monitor can stay put no matter who’s swinging. With the Square Omni, switching sides means pausing to reposition.
The Massive Data Advantage of the Square Omni at This Price Point
Here’s where the Square Omni really separates itself from the competition and becomes one of the most compelling launch monitor values on the market.
At $1,600, you’re getting complete ball and full club data, including metrics that were missing from the original Square. You really get the complete picture, including ball speed, direction, launch angle, spin and spin axis, club path, face angle, attack angle, dynamic loft, clubhead speed, and smash factor.
And the real kicker is that on top of all of that, you get impact location tracking. That’s a huge feature, and the Square Omni now becomes the least expensive launch monitor to include it.
Impact location data tells you exactly where on the clubface you’re making contact, which is critical information for understanding your strike quality and making meaningful improvements to your ball-striking.
The Omni is now the best value for the amount of data you’re getting in the entire camera-based launch monitor market.
Is the Square Omni a Good Indoor Golf Simulator Option?
So long as you’re not going to hit a snag with the righty-lefty switching issue, the Square Omni should make for an outstanding indoor simulator choice.
The space-saving benefits are significant. Needing only 10 feet of depth versus potentially more than 18 feet for radar units means you can build a simulator in spaces that would be impossible with competing devices.
Beyond space efficiency, the Omni is addressing every major complaint people had about the original Square. It works outdoors now, so you can take it to the range or use it in your backyard. The build quality is significantly improved with a more robust construction and four high-speed cameras for better accuracy. And all of the missing data metrics are now included.
Plus, Square is rolling out completely revamped simulator software to go along with the Omni launch. Upgraded graphics, cleaner interface, expanded practice options including a stunning night driving range, and a growing course library. This is more than just a hardware upgrade. It’s a full Square system improvement.
And you’re getting all of this with no annual subscription fees, which everybody loves.
If you’ve got the space and you want camera-based accuracy that works both indoors and outdoors, the Square Omni could be your best launch monitor option in 2026.
