What works with PuttBay.
Straight answers. Proven means we've played real rounds with it. Beta means it's built and being tested. Coming means it's on the way and not ready yet.
GSPro
| Setup | Camera putting in rounds | Practice green | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| GSPro with an Open API (Open Connect) license | Yes: full shots from your launch monitor, putts from the camera, same round | Yes | Proven |
| GSPro with a launch-monitor maker's own license (for example the official Rapsodo or FlightScope routes) | No: GSPro handles the device and putting itself | Yes | Supported for the practice green |
| No GSPro | Not applicable | Yes: a home putting trainer | Proven |
PuttBay needs your own GSPro license. It doesn't include GSPro.
Launch monitors
| Launch monitor | How it connects | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Rapsodo MLM2PRO | Through springbok, a free community connector you install. PuttBay supervises it: starts, minimizes and reconnects it in one press. Rapsodo membership and app approval still apply. | Proven |
| Garmin R10 | In a small hand-picked beta. Tell us you have one on the beta form. | Beta |
| FlightScope Mevo+ / Mevo Gen2 | Open API route: full shots through flighthook, a free community connector PuttBay supervises, and putts from your camera. (On GSPro's FlightScope license, GSPro drives the Mevo and putts itself; the practice green still works.) | Beta |
| No launch monitor | Camera putting and the practice green only | Proven |
| Others | Not yet | Tell us what you use on the beta form |
Cameras
| Camera | Status |
|---|---|
| Arducam B0332 (1MP OV9281 global shutter, 70° low-distortion lens) | Proven: the camera we play with every day |
| Other webcams that really deliver 60 frames a second | Being tested. PuttBay measures yours during setup and tells you plainly if it falls short. |
| 30 fps webcams, including most laptop cameras | Not supported. They can't read a lag putt, so PuttBay says so instead of guessing. |
PC
- Windows 10 or 11.
- A PC that runs GSPro comfortably with some room to spare. The camera needs its share, and PuttBay tells you plainly if the PC is too busy to read a putt.
- A free USB port for the camera, plugged straight into the PC rather than a hub where possible.
Controllers
- Gamepads and keypads: aim, change clubs and move GSPro's camera from the mat.
- Friends mode follows whoever is up in a group.
Units
- Feet and mph, or meters and km/h.
