What Data Does Uneekor QED Measure? – 17 QED Data Points Explained

The Uneekor QED reports 17 numbers: twelve ball metrics, five read directly by its two cameras, and five club metrics read from a clubface sticker. It never measured attack angle, dynamic loft, lie angle or impact point; those belong to the EYE XO. What changed around the data matters more in 2026: support ends on December 31, 2026, and most buyers now meet the unit used.

In a Nutshell

The Uneekor QED reports 17 numbers: twelve ball metrics and five club metrics read from a clubface sticker. It never measured attack angle, dynamic loft, lie angle or impact point, and its support ends on December 31, 2026.

👉 If you own one, the data is only as good as its marked balls, stickers and a mount exactly 3.5 ft behind the tee at 9–10 ft. If you are buying used: support ends on December 31, 2026, the flat $2,000 trade-in covers QEDs bought through Uneekor or an authorized reseller, in the US and Canada (ask Uneekor whether a second owner qualifies), and two commenters this summer warned a used-QED buyer off toward newer units.

In this guide: what changed · the 17 numbers · never measured · balls and stickers · mount and projector · software · accuracy · end-of-life · glossary · FAQ.

• The count: the old web page said 20, the manual’s glossary 21, the QED’s screen 17.
• Software today: View, Refine and GameDay; GSPro (the community’s default simulator software) needs the $199-a-year connector plus GSPro’s own $250.
• The projector wants the same patch of ceiling — plan both mounts together.
• Warranty: two years from delivery on units bought from January 2025.

Jargon, once: read vs modeled = read by the cameras versus worked out from what they read. Marked ball = a ball with printed dots the QED needs to track spin. Club sticker = the reflective sticker that lets it read the clubface. Third-party connector = Uneekor’s paid link to GSPro and other software. End-of-life = the date repairs, parts and updates stop.

How this has changed since 2020

• Summer 2026: “Uneekor already deprecated the QED with no advanced notice, although they give give the last purchasers a trade in option.” — one owner.
• Summer 2026, the used market: two commenters steered a used-QED buyer to newer units; one used QED was offered at $1,900 vs. a $2,500 refurbished Eye Mini.
• Summer 2026, the price row: Uneekor’s GameDay charge on top of the connector (five authors).
• April 14, 2026: Uneekor rebuilds the trade-in as a flat $2,000 credit for every QED, whatever its age or condition, toward an EYE XR, XO or XO2 AI Studio bundle.
• September 15, 2025: the trade-in program opens, with the credit tied to purchase date, and end-of-life is set for December 31, 2026.
• 2025: a two-year warranty for units bought from January 1; the EYE XR arrives as the sticker-free successor.
• Software renamed: Ignite became View, Refine and GameDay; the connector now sits in the $199 Pro tier and up.
• Unchanged: the 17 numbers, marked balls, 3.5 ft behind the tee at 9–10 ft.

The 17 numbers: read or modeled

Read means the cameras track it; modeled means the software works it out from the launch they tracked. The count wrinkle: Uneekor’s QED web spec said “Data Points: 20” (that page now redirects to the launch-monitor collection). The manual’s glossary defines 12 ball terms and 9 club terms — 21 in total — but that glossary is shared across Uneekor’s manuals; the QED’s own screen shows five club numbers, which is what the site’s QED guides print. The ranges: ball speed to 100 m/s (30 m/s for putts), total spin to ±12,000 rpm, launch from −5° to 50° with a driver and up to 80° with an iron.

What the QED never measured

Uneekor advertises 24 data points for the XO, on its product page and its manual’s cover; the manual’s itemised list runs 23: 14 ball metrics and 9 club metrics, via its bar-and-dot stickers. The side-by-side is in Uneekor QED vs EYE XO – Pros and Cons.

Marked balls and club stickers

The dots are the QED’s most-named drawback. One owner on the Vice Tour QED balls: “They are great in that they don’t have misreads hardly ever, but they don’t spin well on approach shots or pitch shots.” The same owner on the dots against premium balls: “Both tend to play 15-20 yards short on drives and are a bit of a rock vs good balls with the dots.”

The EYE XR that replaced the QED reads the ball’s dimples directly and tracks club data by AI with no stickers at all — and its manual says its face angle is calculated as an estimate. The sticker era is not over on Uneekor’s smaller units either: the Eye Mini Lite still wants stickers for club data, and one owner found them durable — “I have played through two seasons with my clubs and have not had to replace a sticker at all.”

Mount, room and the projector clash

The manual ties accuracy to the mount in one sentence: “The mounting position of the QED sensor must be perfectly aligned 3 feet 6 inches behind the center of your tee position and between 9-10 feet for the ceiling height. Failure to meet these requirements will result in accuracy issues.” Owners confirm the screen distance is flexible: “9′ is plenty. I’d say the closest you can get, and still comfortably accomodate most golfers, is ~7 feet”. The projector wants the same stretch of ceiling; the common fix is an ultra-short-throw unit mounted ahead of the sensor — one owner’s: “I have a projector that’s mounted about 2 feet in front of my QED.” The EYE XO mounts the other way, 3.5 ft in front of the tee, measured from the device; its manual’s marketing text says front-mounted and its spec table says rear, and the install diagram and the site’s guides say in front.

Software in 2026

The summer’s row was about that stack. Uneekor ran its biggest tournament of the year on GSPro rather than its own GameDay, and owners did the arithmetic: “Game Day is $199 ON TOP of the $199 package – so $398 in total.” One who had already left for a ProTee VX: “When I was on Uneekor I truly felt like I was getting nickel and dimed, even after purchasing their flagship product.”

The correction that matters for a QED owner who only practices: “The $199/yr only comes in if you want third party software like GSPro or their Refine course tiers.” The QED’s Launcher pre-loads View, the third-party connector and a 30-day Refine+ trial.

Accuracy, as owners report it

Side-by-side comparisons put the QED’s ball flight and carry close to a SkyTrak or Mevo+, with differences reviewers call too small to notice in play (five reports, five reviewers). Club data with instant replay is the feature long-term owners praise most, some five years in, and several still recommend the unit. The reviewer line that it lands “within 1%” of a Trackman comes with no sample size or method and is not printed as fact here.

The failure mode is the ball: worn dots, then misreads and short carries. The manual’s mount sentence above is the rule; the site’s QED accuracy record is in Uneekor QED Accuracy – Data, Error Margins, Setup & More.

End-of-life: owners and used buyers

Owner anxiety about the date is real — one owner’s:

• “I bought the QED in May and I just got word that they will be discontinuing support for it in about a year.”

Replacement units through the exchange are reportedly region-locked, and one distributor charges half as much again.

One reply to a used-QED shopper this summer was blunt: “Do NOT go for the QED. It requires marked balls and is not as accurate as other more recent options.” The counterweight is the owners who have run one for five years and would buy again. A used QED is a price-only buy — no support after 2026, and a trade-in only if Uneekor confirms a second owner qualifies — and the $1,900-versus-$2,500 Eye Mini comparison is worked through in Uneekor QED Space Requirements.

Each number in a sentence

• Ball speed: the ball’s speed leaving the face, in mph.
• Club speed: the clubhead’s speed just before impact.
• Smash factor: ball speed divided by club speed (What is Smash Factor? – Launch Monitor Data 101).
• Flight time: how long the ball is in the air.
• Distance to apex: how far it flies before its peak.
• Carry, run and total: flight, roll after landing, and the two together.
• Side total: how far offline it finishes.
• Back spin: the backward rotation that lifts the ball.
• Side spin: the sideways rotation that curves it.
• Side angle: the start line relative to the target.
• Launch angle: the initial angle of ascent.
• Angle of descent: how steeply it lands.
• Club path: the club’s direction through impact.
• Face angle: where the face points at impact.
• Face-to-path: the face relative to the path; open fades, closed draws.

Uneekor QED data FAQ

How many data points does the QED measure?

Seventeen on screen: twelve ball and five club metrics. The web page’s 20 and the glossary’s 21 count overlapping definitions, not distinct data points.

Does it measure attack angle or impact point?

No. Attack angle, dynamic loft, lie angle and impact point are EYE XO metrics.

Does it need marked balls and stickers?

Yes to both: marked balls for every shot, stickers for club data.

Is the QED discontinued?

Yes: support ends December 31, 2026; QED owners in the US and Canada get a flat $2,000 toward an EYE XR, XO or XO2.

Does it work with GSPro?

Yes, via the $199-a-year connector plus GSPro’s own subscription.

Does the trade-in work for a used or second-hand QED?

Uneekor’s current terms don’t say. Since April 2026 the flat $2,000 goes to “every QED owner” whose unit was bought through Uneekor or an authorized reseller; the older terms that limited it to verified original owners are no longer online. Get Uneekor’s answer in writing before paying for a used QED on the strength of it.

Is a used QED worth buying at $1,900?

Only as a price-only buy: no support after 2026, marked balls forever, and no trade-in unless Uneekor confirms a second owner qualifies.
