Notes Added 2026-08-01. Found by diffing GSPro's own supported-device list (gsprogolf.com/product/gspro-software) against the catalog: GSPro lists 'Nova by OpenLaunch' as officially supported and we held no record for it. Price $1,500 and in-stock status read this run from the manufacturer's store (openlaunch.io/products/nova-golf-entertainment-system) and its product feed. Measured metrics per openlaunch.io: ball speed, vertical and horizontal launch angles, and spin (total, axis, backspin and sidespin). Sensing is cameras plus radar: Acconeer's customer story states Nova uses 'two Acconeer A121 radar modules, one for its user interface and one for swing measurements' (acconeer.com/customer_story/openlaunch). OpenLaunch states a putting setup needs roughly 2ft by 6ft and that a full simulator bay needs more. OpenGolfSim documents a built-in connector that discovers the Nova over the local network (help.opengolfsim.com/desktop/shot-data/launch-monitor/nova). No independent hands-on testing was found, so no accuracy, features, or ease score is assigned. Release date not stated by the manufacturer. A UK retailer lists an 'Optishot Nova' that may or may not be this unit; not used as a source.
