SkyTrak + is a new option in the world of personal launch monitors
SkyTrak
Everyone wants a lot for a little, and in the world of launch monitors, the market has everything from full R&D-worthy units that cost as much as a nice used car, all the way to small units that simply offer club and ball speed, and make distance estimations for a couple hundred dollars.
For golfers looking to find the sweet spot for price and technology, that’s where the SkyTrak+ fits in. At only $2,995, the SkyTrak+ Launch Monitor combines doppler radar technology with a camera system to offer a full array of data, including clubhead speed, smash factor, club path and face angle, along with the ability to play a huge catalog of world famous golf courses.
The next part of the SkyTrak+’s upgraded package is its proprietary machine-learning algorithms that deliver precision feedback at a level usually reserved for only the highest-end launch monitors. The improved camera system gives highly accurate ball tracking data at impact that can help a golfer’s practice, and as a bonus it improves performance when used outside in natural lighting.
Like any piece of upgraded technology, SkyTrak+ features a new processor for faster visualizations, improved Wi-Fi capabilities for faster and more stable connectivity and USB Type C charging options for rapid charging. And just like other doppler-based launch monitors, there is no need for special golf balls or stickers to get reliable data.
So whether you’re looking for a way to build yourself a home hitting bay, or you want a launch monitor to help you work on your game inside or out, the new SkyTrak+ could be your ticket to more fun and lower scores.
