Great video boys! I just found your channel but I’ll be back. The deal-maker for the ST+ is that it measures club path and face angle. The BLP/GC3 don’t give those numbers and cost thousands of dollars more than the ST+. For more data (and similar accuracy), I’ll live with the shot delay and smaller hitting area.

Great video!

Thanks for reminding me 😂 done!

Interesting that the lip is supposed to be used for an alignment stick as that suggests that the skytrak device should sit perfectly perpendicular to the target line. When I use the alignment light feature on my skytrak, it shows me that it should sit slightly open.

@hcpgolf

I’ve always found the alignment on SkyTrak to be a bit awkward - and when I was learning how to align my SkyTrak original, it seemed like many people had different stories/versions of how it aligned! Maybe it’s the same with this new model. Something they really need to nail down I think

Thanks for the review. Did you test putting with it?

Great video Mitch! Also that guy is way too tall to be standing next to you, but to his credit he's getting better and better on camera! ;) That shot lag is just a deal breaker. I'm sure I could get used to it, but any time you have friends over (whom you want to impress with your baller setup) they're going to be like "what the hell?!?" So for me, the clear leader in the clubhouse right now is the Eye Mini. Would love your thoughts on that kit. Cheers from Denver mate!

Thank you mate! Yes I must admit I was disappointed with the lag/shot delay still being there with this new unit. I know exactly what you mean - I’d love to be able to have a go with the Uneekor Mini but they don’t seem to be readily available here in the UK (not that I am aware of anyway)

Buy the Bushnell launch pro then. It’s a beast

Out of control prices on all launch monitors, apart from the R10. Camera based models are a plastic box that contains cameras you'll find in a mid range android phone. Radar systems are all pretty much the same. It's like "Oh golfers, let's rip them off".

Definitely not cheap. Personally I don’t know enough about the camera systems inside them to understand how technical they are compared to phones ⛳️

From the VP of Skytrak on a golfwrx thread “Club head speed is now measured. The machine learning algorithms define face and path”. Definitely need a disclaimer on this vid. Don’t want to be rude to the guy from golfswingsystems but if you’re selling a 3k unit like this that’s something you should know or at the very least just admit you don’t know rather than state something incorrect that’s very significant

Sorry I saw a comment about testing with foam balls, but wasn’t sure if they were asking if you’ve done tests with foam balls, or will skytrack work with foam balls? I’m curious if it works with foam balls. Thanks. Great video.

@hcpgolf

8 ай бұрын

I haven’t done a video using foam balls but I did do one with 30% golf balls. SkyTrak will pick up the direction of the shot with these balls but the spin isn’t realistic so ultimately the final outcome of the shot won’t be true to real life

Okaaaaay... but are you going to upgrade? LOL I had one of the first units shipped and it had some squirrelly issues. I got an email this week that the lasted software update had fixed the corkscrew like ball flight I was seeing all to often on chip shots. Unfortunately, I had sent it back already and could not test the update. Instead of getting a replacement I decided to sit on the sidelines for a bit and see what happens with the software and firmware updates. GSPro was mentioned in the video as a possibility but from what I understand, so far at least, there is no connector available for it. There seems to be some chatter about waiting to see what happens with the E6 Connector and then trying to connect the plus up to GSPro. I haven't kept up on all that since I no longer have one. I really wanted this to work out for me as I think it could be the best under $4k unit to get for practice and maybe even sim because the subscriptions are reasonable, unlike BLP or EyeMini which cost more.

@hcpgolf

11 ай бұрын

Right now, no I won’t be upgrading. I think if I do upgrade one day it will likely be to the GC3 but that all depends on whether I can afford it at the time! I saw a video yesterday detailing how you can connect the ST+ to GSPro and it works, however putting is not quite sorted yet so it is recommended to use autoputt. Im sure there will be a connector that works well at some point. I really liked the ST+ when I tested it out and it worked really well for pretty much every shot that I hit. If money wasn’t an object I’d have no issues upgrading my setup to this unit. But like I said I think I will save and wait for a GC3!

Have a question for you on the ST +. I can't get through a round of golf on E6 or even the practice range without the unit losing connection. I have an excellent wi-fi set-up in my house so it is not a wi-fi problem. Is this normal ?

@hcpgolf

I’ve not had a huge amount of experience with ST+ and playing simulator rounds with E6, but I do have similar problems with my original SkyTrak and I’ve found that USB mode is a lot more reliable rather than network mode.

Hey Mitch, what size room do you think is suitable for using the skytrak as I’m looking at getting an extension done and changing from my Mevo plus to sky track as this would reduce costs of building a larger size room? Any help would be appreciated mate

Can you use e6 on this if you don’t have the better plan and do you get any courses for free like on the mevo? Also how much was the better plan? Don’t think you said how much for that one.

You will get used to the delay. Hitting in a simulator…by the time you hit and then you are watching for your ball coming back to you, the shot goes. The first thing I always do Is hit, then watch the ball to stop it back on my mat. I don’t care about a tiny delay. Dont even notice it
