SKYTRAK Launch Monitor & Simulator Software

SkyTrak is placed adjacent to your ball and measures the first few inches of ball flight. Because of this, there isn't a minimum distance the ball has to travel, you just need a space large enough to swing your clubs and enough space for your golf mat and net/screen you are hitting into. If you are using outdoors you will want to be in a covered area as direct sunlight can affect the results of your SkyTrak launch monitor.

We highly recommend using real golf balls with SkyTrak, as this launch monitor is focusing on the first few inches of ball flight when measuring your shots. Foam balls react different off of the club face compared to a real golf ball so your results will not be as accurate, however the launch monitor would still pick up your shot.

SkyTrak features a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that is built to last for a long time.

Golf Simulation

System requirements vary for SkyTrak's 3rd party golf simulation integrations. Here is a quick summary:

Please visit our SkyTrak Golf Simulator Software Guide for an in-depth guide.

SkyTrak has been robot tested at Golf Laboratories, #1 independent testing facility in the golf industry. Using a variety of shot types, ball speeds, and golf clubs, the results were virtually indistinguishable from the leading commercial launch monitors in the industry across the 5 most important parameters ball speed, launch angle, back spin, side spin/spin axis, and side angle.

With over 10+ years of usage, the SkyTrak ball flight model has been tested thoroughly with robot and human hit testing for measured carry/total and offline distances. Unlike some professional-grade launch monitors, SkyTraks ball flight simulations are not affected by atmospheric conditions like wind, humidity, etc. (unless you turn these on in the session settings).

While the SkyTrak performs best indoors, it is still completely portable and can be used outdoors as well. The system has an internal battery that lasts over 4 hours of use making it ideal even for the longest of driving range sessions. Some notes on using the SkyTrak outdoors:

• Be sure to avoid the sun shining or reflecting directly into the lens
• Hitting off of real grass could lead to misreads due to divots and flying grass throwing off the launch monitor readings - we recommend hitting off of an artificial turf or range mat surface if used outside

The system has an internal battery providing over 4 hours of use when fully charged and wirelessly connects to your iPad. Outdoor performance may vary in certain lighting conditions. Avoid the sun shining or reflecting directly into the lens of the SkyTrak device. We suggested using it only under cover if hitting on an outdoor driving range.

You should choose the Basic Driving Range Plan if you are just looking to hit balls on SkyTraks virtual driving range. If you want to use one of SkyTraks 3rd party golf simulation integrations then you will need the Game Improvement Plan and pair it with TGC 2019 or E6 Connect (TGC 2019 & E6 Connect must be purchased seperately). The Game Improvement Plan also gives you access to SkyTraks game improvement features such as bag mapping, skills challenges, and target challenges. Lastly, if you have an iPad and looking for the most budget friendly golf simulation software option, go with the Tee Off Package which includes your first year subscription to the WGT software.

To use SkyTrak as a golf simulator you will need to pair SkyTrak with a golf simulation software. The top software options for SkyTrak are TGC 2019 (PC), E6 Connect (PC or iOS), and WGT (iOS). To use TGC 2019 or E6 connect you will want to select the Game Improvement Package (which supports these integrations) when you add SkyTrak to cart. Then you will need to purchase TGC 2019 or E6 Connect seperately.

To use WGT you will simply want to select the Tee Off package when adding SkyTrak to cart. The Tee Off Package includes a 1 year subscription to the WGT software.

For an in-depth guide on all Golf Simulator Software options with SkyTrak,see our SkyTrak Golf Simulator Software guide.

SkyTrak supports multi-player in it's Closest to Pin, Long Drive, and Target Challenges. In order to play courses with multiple players, you will need:

1) Game Improvement Software Package

2) PC Computer

3) Subscription to either The Golf Club (TGC) or e6 by TruGolf Software - these software options are available for purchase on their respective websites.

WGT does not support multi-player gameplay and is compatible with Apple Products only.

You may experience a slight few second delay between when you hit your shot until SkyTrak is able to display the simulation - the good thing is, it is avoidable. The delay is due to either slow internet connection or a slow processor in your device rather than an issue with the SkyTrak itself.

For the best possible experience with the SkyTrak, we recommend using a device with a fast processor and ensure that your internet connection is strong. Most of the time, this will reduce the lag to a few milliseconds.

To further improve internet speeds, some customers have used wifi extenders. Some homes have dead spots and metals that interfere with the wifi connection. The extender should help resolve this potential issue.

SkyTrak is a wireless, lightweight device so it is really as simple as picking up the launch monitor and placing it on the other side of the golf mat when swapping between left and right handed golfers.

You are able to view your results on a big screen TV, you will simply have to run an HDMI cord from your iPad/Laptop that is running the SkyTrak software to your big screen TV!

No. In addition to it's in-depth ball data, SkyTrak measures Club Head Speed and Smash Factor. If you are interested in more advanced club head metrics such as club path and face angle then we recommend checking out The Uneekor QED or Foresight Sports GCQuad launch monitor.
