Marcus Webb has followed the golf equipment and simulator industry for over two decades. His interest took root in 2005 when he researched golf course development economics at university — translating technical literature on course architecture and presenting a full feasibility study for a proposed golf facility. That process forced a ground-level understanding of turf science, capital infrastructure, and the economics of the golf market that few equipment writers can claim.Since then, Marcus has tracked the evolution of launch monitor technology from early Doppler radar units to today's dual-radar and photometric systems, and has spent several years evaluating home simulator builds across every price tier — from sub-$1,000 portable units to dedicated-room setups exceeding $20,000.At XS Golf Labs, he oversees all equipment reviews and simulator coverage, with a single editorial commitment: real cost breakdowns, independently tested performance data, and recommendations that do not soften around commercial relationships.
