Chaps, being a Skytrak user for some time now, could you possibly do this test again but ensure the unit is at the exact level the ball is being hit from. I see you have the case and screws in but the unit should be 100% level with the hitting surface as this causes inconsistent reads with spin. Ideally take it out the case as this is where you get the best numbers and ensure the ball logo faces the unit too as this is how it measures spin better. Also with driver, leave the skytrak flat on the floor and just tee the ball about 1.5 inches behind the red dot. This is from a lot of research from users to get their comparison numbers much better. Love the video though and for a $2k unit, its a lot of fun!

This. If the ST is not flush with the hitting surface, the ball starts moving outside of the camera window. So the speed and spin numbers are less accurate, especially at faster speeds.

If you have the GC Quad setup for Matt there's a setup that works to track the same ball with both units. Put the skytrak in Right hand mode and exactly opposite (across from) the GC Quad. (the unit will sit between Matt's feet when hitting which may seem unusual at first but will allow a one to one comparison).

I had the exact same issues when I first got my skytrak back in april. I got on the forums and was told to ditch the protective case as it is difficult to get the unit level with the hitting surface. Other things that helped for faster ball speeds is to play the ball an inch behind the red dot with the driver, and fairway woods. It's still not perfect, but much better.

Unfortuntely the Mevo+ runs into the same issue with trackman indoors. You need 12-15 feet minimum of ball flight to get accurate data, you also need to use the metallic stickers on the ball, you also need 7-10 feet behind the ball for the unit. Most people don't have a space with 25 feet, where a camera based system like skytrack only needs room for you to swing.

I wouldn’t wait too long. Most units under $10K use either radar(Mevo+) or high speed camera(SkyTrak) to track golf shots. The mega expensive units like GC Quad and Trackman, use both. Niether radar alone or high speed camera systems are perfect. But they are affordable and reasonably accurate. Accurate enough to give you a good idea of what your ball is doing. I was going to buy the Mevo+ but realized I didn’t have the necessary distance from unit, to the ball, to the net (about 15-16’). I got the SkyTrak and am very happy. Again it’s not perfect. It misses shots every once in a while, but it gives me a fairly accurate assessment of my shots. For me, that’s good enough and I still have money in the bank.

Skytrak owner here, couple tips I have figured out to increase the accuracy of the readings: My hitting mat is elevated so I found that adjusting the height of the bottom of the actual unit to match the level of where the ball sits gets a more accurate reading. I have taken to marking a line around the entire ball with a sharpie and ball marker guide so the camera on the skytrak can see it, and it seems to pick up the spin rate more accurately and adjust carry distance accordingly. I carry 7 iron about 155-160 and driver about 260-70 (need to work on my efficiency!) so my speed isn't enough to cause serious issues either, I think.

ST comes with great features (paid) to practice like wedge matrix and random distance practice, bag mapping which helped dial in distances etc. Also planning to buy E6 or TGC for playing sim rounds this winter. The key with skytrak is how you align the unit with respect to the ball/ mat and target etc. there's a facebook page for Skytrak users which is super helpful too. I am lower to medium speed player works perfectly for me.

Driver on TrackMan is about 168-171 and 2100rpm vs 161-164 and 2500 with SkyTrak. About the same sort of outcomes with mid and long irons. (I haven't used the TrackMan much for wedges, so I dunno about those numbers). Thanks Gents, love your stuff!

Hey Guys, as normal this is another fantastic review video! I unfortunately have to point out a few important fyi’s! - Undoubtedly the quad is the standard in this space & for indoor use, radar or machines that sit behind struggle but the SkyTrak is definitely no slouch. - Disclaimer - I have an indoor golf business & we do private & commercial installations in west Scotland (19thT). We have experience with all launch monitors & the SkyTrak has had a few issues but have been fixed & with the correct setup works great, well above its price point. - A couple of observations are the SkyTrak is sitting very high to the top of your turf which can affect the outcome. - I would test it out of the protective case so it sits level - On high speed shots particularly if they have lower launch, position the ball just behind the red dot, this allows the monitor more time to read the ball - I can't tell in the video but the logo of the ball needs to be facing the monitor - You mentioned the SkyTrak only calculates measurements from ball data, but they do have an add on - SkyPro which does give extra club data, all but impact for an additional £100-£200. So for still sub 2.5k your getting a reasonable amount of data which would be a better comparison. - The main benefit of SkyTrak is that it is also open to all simulator software which allows you to play on the likes of Augusta & the simulator experience is significantly better than Foresight's. These extra setup tips are a little frustrating but considering the price difference it's acceptable. What would be the best setup is TXG next door to us all!!👍 ... & Matt's swing

Love it. Couple hints for those looking at Skytrak: 1. You absolutely can use this outside at night. USE A LAMP. This thing is camera based (photometric) if it can’t see the ball, the reads are going to be garbage. 2. Use as flat a plane as possible. 3. I’ve heard that extremely fast swing speeds get a little crazy (Matty should show us that) 4. Use a USB cable and PC. Almost no delay on the native app. The Golf Club 2019(super fun course simulation game) has a bit of a delay. 5. If you are setting up a temp area, mark the area if you can. It’ll speed up deployment. I’ve been totally happy with it. If you are looking for a less expensive solution, it’s not a bad way to scratch the itch.

I got myself an Optishot 2 which is VERY budget friendly at about £350. Its pretty good at tracking club path and face angle, at least gives a good idea of it. Every so often it messes up the club speed. My wedge is regularly around 110yrd but sometimes it would only show an 80yrd carry and weirdly last time i used it, my 8i was going further than my 7i! Doesnt do any ball tracking but calculates the ball path based on the club data. It does help if you know all of your club specs as you need to setup the whole set with lofts, lengths etc. Its a good little unit and at least gets you swinging when you can't get to the range/course. Definitely more of a recreational unit but its helping me become more consistent, just through the extra practice.

To their credit they did ensure my setup for the ST was correct but could not explain the discrepancy in the numbers and they do have an excellent return policy.

I notice that the more shaped shots on Skytrak read longer than on GC Quad - it almost seems like GC quad measures how far the ball landed in a straight line to the landing point - while SkyTrak is measuring total distance traveled along the curved line. Think of a very long acute right triangle - the hypotenuse is a bit longer than the longer of the 2 other sides - or think of drawing a curved line between yourself and the landing point versus a straight line to the landing point - i wonder if distance traveled versus distance from strike point in a straight line comes into this at all? Could be just my tinfoil hat thinking here. It's more likely that SkyTrak just has a harder time as swing speeds go up due to not having as much data at its disposal so its algorithm is guessing more than GC Quad's has to. Either way - the camera tech and image analysis in GCQuad is just so much more advanced and it just gathers so much more data - and more data = better projections. Super interesting video guys!

Good comparison though. Another area that was not 100% able to be seen, its advised that you point the logo of the ball towards the unit for best possible accuracy for spin rates... This is likely why for wedges, you didnt have an issue, but the ST struggled at higher ball speeds. Happy to advise further. Love the content!

I've had a Sky Trak for 5 years. The trick with the driver is to tee it up two inches behind the dot. So it has an extra two inches to read everything. I've had over 160 mph ball speed reads, without any trouble.

Well, you guys verified the same issues I've had with my SkyTrak. I have a higher SS and have had some wonky distance and spin readings with mid irons.

I bought my Skytrak last year just before the shutdown and loved it. I use it primarily for irons as I have a smaller space. Have a slower swing speed and have found it to be pretty accurate. One important piece is to get a good mat. Think that can affect your results depending on swing type. Also, if you put the ball on a tee, you have to play around with placement. Great for the price!!

I own a skytrak and I can tell you that If the unit is too high in my setup (24,000 lumen of lighting overhead) it sometimes just doesn’t read at all. When it does read, the numbers are way off with driver. I’ll see as low as 150 and sometimes 200mph when the unit isn’t level with the ball. I’m currently a low 180 ball speed player off driver. The skytrak is very accurate and when you consider the cost it really helps to justify the unit if you’re ok with just ball data. I mentioned lighting above as I feel the better the lighting in the area the better the accuracy is when you start getting into higher speeds; just my own observation.

Really good timing indeed, as my quad is in a UPS box on the way from San Diego!! I originally had planned to save the money and go with a SkyTrak, but saw enough similar results as yours in other comparisons to convince me to just go all-in. Looks like I might not have been terribly disappointed with a SkyTrak with low 90s iron SS, but I think it would bug me enough to give buyer's remorse over the years

Hey Team A few comments in there aiut machine setup. I have a Skytrak also. The bottom of the unit needs to be flush with the hitting surface. It needs to come out of the protective case or place another mat on your studio floor and place the Skytrak alongside. I'm keen to see those results. Keep it up.

Keep in mind there is no spin decay on the skytrak range software. There are also some tricks to getting better readings with higher ball speeds on skytrak by moving the ball back behind the laser indicator.

i researched these launch monitors based on the price point and decided that the Mevo + was the best choice and i have been super impressed. You get more info from the Mevo + and it seems to miss less shots. info mevo + gives you = shot shape, lateral distance from center, spin axis, launch horizontal in degrees, spin, angle of attack, club head speed, Carry, roll, total distance, spin loft, launch vertical, height, smash factor, ball speed and flight time. ... and when used on the e6 software you get the driving range with target greens (small and large), driving range that you can practice shot shaping for long clubs, 5 course, there are multiple skilled areas for chipping and putting, short irons, long irons and woods.

hey guys, love your channel! i’ve had a skytrak for 2 years and i find it absolutely accurate at my 80mph iron swing speed... IF i face the ball logo at the device. it’s definitely less accurate if it’s just photographing white ball surface. my brother has an x golf shop and the skytrak numbers totally stack up against those on that much more expensive sim. i hope this helps!

I have been using my SkyTrak a lot more now, for long drive. Seems to be working great for higher ball speeds. I do put logo towards unit and tee up 1" behind laser dot. I am now rolling to the back of the range at 350 yards, carrying 320+. My best BS is 184mph and CS 126mph. Still working to get faster. I'm 57 and should not be hitting this far! Maybe looking for Senior long drive tournaments. Metal protector cage was not working for me, too many mis-reads. Works fine without it, although. Will try to post some videos soon.

Maybe I missed it, but skytrak over does side spin as well... note Matty’s offline distances. I’ve found SkyTrak has a huge draw bias. I chose to buy the mevo plus. This will be my first winter using it.

Nice job overall. A few points to consider.... Make sure you have the latest release which was supposed to address higher ball speeds Point the ball logo towards the unit for greatest accuracy Unit has to sitting flat level with the hitting surface. Driver ball position an inch or so behind the dot is recommended. Club head speed is not measured only calculated form ball speed. Overall it’s a really good unit and lots of fun to use, it’s really helped me drop 5 strokes in the past 18 months.

I've had a Skytrak since September and I've been happy with it. I don't have elite speed like Matt so I don't get the mis-hits that often. I do have to say that levelling the Skytrak is super important and the other comments regarding the height above the ball are valid. I also noticed that their ball flight algorithm doesn't account for spin decay so sometimes you might over draw/fade your ball on the Skytrak. Overall, with my game (driver ball speeds

I had a Skytrak for 4 years and found the exact same results to be true... my driver club head speed is about 110 and my numbers we all over the place. My cousins driver speed is about 95 and his numbers we very consistent. I upgraded my simulator to a Uneekor QED about 6 months ago and love it. Very consistent numbers regardless of speed. Yes, it’s 3 times the cost of the Skytrak, but less than half the cost of a Quad
