3 Top Golf Brands Added to PlayBetter in 2026: TruGolf, Mileseey, and Par Breaker

Coming off January’s PGA Show, PlayBetter’s got some very exciting additions for its carefully curated selection of golf technology. Three new brands in particular are cause for considerable excitement for reasons of either value or innovation.

If you’re a simulator person, TruGolf is solving one of the most annoying problems in sim golf. If you’re into rangefinders and/or golf speakers, Mileseey is doing things that nobody else is doing. And if you like the idea of a connected golf tech ecosystem but don’t want to spend a fortune, you need to pay attention to Par Breaker.

Let me be upfront about something. I haven’t yet had the chance to test all of these products hands-on. But I will. In the meantime, these are the brands and products I’m most excited to try and I’ll explain why as we go.

TruGolf Eliminates Golf Simulator Shot Delay

If you’ve played any simulator golf, you very likely are familiar with the frustration of hitting a shot and then waiting for what feels like a minute to see the ball flight. Even a second of delay compromises the overall realism.

TruGolf’s solved this as consistently as any brand I’ve seen yet. You hit and the shot shows up. I tested it at the PGA Show, and I’ll be doing a complete rundown soon enough, but I was very impressed with the so-called shot-to-show in both the LaunchBox and Apogee monitors. The ball is flying on screen as soon as it leaves your clubface. Just like the real thing.

The LaunchBox is the portable option, priced at $2,999. It’s a camera-based launch monitor with a built-in display that uses a combination of camera and infrared technology to capture ball and club data.

Another big plus is that you don’t need specially marked golf balls or clubs, which is not the case with most competitors.

Every LaunchBox comes with 27 owned E6 Connect courses right out of the box, with no subscription required. You can start to play immediately.

Battery life is rated at 4.5 hours. It connects to projectors via HDMI. And it pairs with iOS devices over WiFi.

Here’s the catch if there is one: You’re locked into TruGolf’s E6 ecosystem with this unit. You can’t run GSPro or other third-party software. For some golfers, that’s going to be a dealbreaker.

But for others, especially those who want a simple, plug-and-play experience without the hassle of compatibility issues and software headaches, that’s the exact selling point.

The Apogee is the premium option at $9,000. It’s a ceiling-mounted launch monitor that uses two cameras to capture ball and club data photometrically. The Apogee has been around for a couple of years, but it’s new to PlayBetter’s lineup.

Like the LaunchBox, you don’t need special golf balls or club stickers with the Apogee. The only exception is if you want dynamic loft and lie data, which does require stickers. But for everything else, you’re good to go.

The Apogee delivers that same instant shot-to-show feedback with zero delay. It also includes voice-controlled commands, so you can say things like, “Hey Apogee, mulligan” without needing to walk over and tap a screen.

Of course, the ceiling-mounted design makes it seamless to switch between right-handed and left-handed golfers, which is convenient if you’ve got players of both orientations using the same space.

It comes with a first-year E6 Apex subscription, and you can add an optional E6 Connect Home license that gives you 27 owned courses with no annual fees.

Mileseey Pushes Boundaries with Built-In Rangefinder and Speaker GPS

Mileseey is bringing features to the market that you literally cannot find anywhere else. The biggest one to me is standalone GPS built directly into their flagship rangefinder and golf speaker. That means there is no app pairing required. Total convenience breakthrough.

Then they’ve got a rangefinder mode that lets you measure in feet so that you can actually use your rangefinder on the green to read putts.

Plus there’s triangulation technology that calculates the distance from your ball to the pin even when you’re nowhere near your ball.

On top of all that innovation, these lasers are fast. We’re talking instantaneous measurement speeds that are as quick as anything I’ve tested.

The GenePro G1 is a $500 hybrid rangefinder that combines traditional laser functionality with GPS and a built-in AMOLED touchscreen. Like I said, you can use it to get GPS distances without having to connect to an app. Plus, of course, the precise distance to your target via the laser.

The screen on this thing is incredible. It’s seriously like iPhone-level responsive with no lag. But to get these hole maps without needing to connect to anything is really cool.

Mileseey’s got a whole line of rangefinders, all of them interesting for their own reasons. Like the GenePro S1 that’s designed specifically with reading putt distances in mind. Who would have ever thought?

Or the pocket-sized IONME2, which includes triangulation, an OLED display, and even a rain and fog mode.

Then there’s the GeneSonic Pro speaker that also includes the built-in GPS maps. Plus, you can actually detach the center console of the speaker to turn it into a handheld GPS device. Another really cool innovation. These are both firsts for a golf speaker.

Par Breaker Brings Connected Ecosystem at Accessible Price

Par Breaker’s a new-to-golf brand with a background in laser rangefinders built for hunters. And right out of the gate, they are joining the industry-wide momentum of an integrated ecosystem. They’ve got multiple products and all of them play together to create as enhanced an experience as the user wants.

The centerpiece of the lineup is the Swing Pulse X10 launch monitor, which is priced at $799 and expected to ship later this year. It delivers 16 ball and club data metrics using Doppler radar that combines with a dual camera system that provides full swing and impact video replay.

It connects directly to your phone via WiFi, and it includes free practice modes and a 3D driving range in the native software. And you can also integrate it with third-party platforms like E6 Connect, GSPro, and Awesome Golf.

But what makes this Par Breaker brand interesting is that the Swing Pulse X10 syncs with Par Breaker’s Yard Sync rangefinders and Green Vector golf watches to deliver personalized club recommendations based on your actual swing data.

This is the kind of connected ecosystem feature you typically see in much more expensive products. But with Par Breaker, their Yard Sync rangefinders — L10, L20,  and L30 models — range in price from $169.99 to $269.99.

They’re compact lasers with crystal-clear optics and slope functionality across the line. What sets them apart is that Bluetooth connectivity that lets them sync with the Swing Pulse X10. You’ll be able to pull the right club based on your actual shot data from your sessions with the launch monitor.

The Green Vector I40 and I50 smartwatches round out the system. They use Golf Logic software to deliver front/center/back distances across 40,000-plus courses worldwide. The watches also track your on-course performance and your health metrics off the course.

And like everything else in the Par Breaker lineup, the Green Vector watches sync with the rest of the ecosystem to centralize all of your golf data in one app.

I haven’t yet tested these Par Breaker products, so I can’t yet speak to how well they perform. But I can say that the concept and price points are compelling.

A Big Year Ahead for PlayBetter’s Golf Tech

TruGolf, Mileseey, and Par Breaker all fit into the selective portfolio that’s become PlayBetter’s calling card.

Each of these brands delivers either value, innovation, or both in ways that are going to be interesting and potentially have widespread appeal. All of these products generated a lot of buzz at the PGA Show, and there are already a lot of favorable opinions surfacing around the internet.

We’ll know more as we get hands-on. But the early verdict, having seen all of this tech at the PGA Show, is that we’ve now got an even stronger PlayBetter product lineup. More choices is only really a good thing if it’s more quality choices, and that’s what I think we have in 2026. It’s going to be another very strong year for golf tech overall.
