PuttBay

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

SetupCamera putting in roundsPractice greenStatus
GSPro with an Open API (Open Connect) licenseYes: full shots from your launch monitor, putts from the camera, same roundYesProven

No GSProNot applicableYes: a home putting trainerProven

PuttBay needs your own GSPro license. It doesn't include GSPro.

Launch monitors

Cameras

CameraStatus
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 secondBeing tested. PuttBay measures yours during setup and tells you plainly if it falls short.
30 fps webcams, including most laptop camerasNot 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.
