Foresight Sports GC3
Space requirements
Camera-based, so no minimum ball flight is needed; MyGolfSimulator/retailer guidance: minimum room 10 ft W x 12 ft L x 9 ft H, comfortable 16 ft W x 18 ft L x 10 ft H. Unit sits roughly 14-18 in to the side of the ball, level with it.
- Width: 10 ft workable offset, 14 ft for a centered both-handed bay (industry guidance — see model).
What it measures
Ball data (10): ball speed, vertical launch angle, horizontal launch angle (side angle), total spin, side spin / spin axis, carry distance, apex, descent angle, offline from target, total distance
Club data (4): club head speed, smash factor, club path, angle of attack
Measured vs. calculated: Triscopic high-speed cameras directly measure ball speed, launch/side angles and spin/spin axis from images of the ball; carry, total, apex and offline are modeled in FSX from measured launch conditions. Club data is measured optically and requires a single fiducial club marker sticker (1-dot mode) per Foresight support documentation.
Accuracy: Foresight markets tour-proven photometric accuracy (same camera platform used on professional tours); PlayBetter's 2026 GC3 review and MyGolfSpy's GC3 review report performance on par with premium launch monitors.

Notes
Pricing: June 2026 Father's Day sale $5,999 (reg. $6,999) direct from Foresight; current bundle includes Bushnell Pro X3 LINK rangefinder, Wingman HD speaker, Vessel sling bag and 3-yr warranty
Left-handed players: Side-placed unit faces the ball from beside the target line; switching between right- and left-handed golfers requires moving the unit to the opposite side of the ball (seconds to do, but a fixed sim bay needs width for both).
Fully unlocked for life - 'no subscription needed' per Foresight; same hardware platform as the Bushnell Launch Pro, which uses a subscription model instead. Lithium-ion battery for outdoor use. MyBag feature profiles up to 13 clubs.
Release year: 2021 · Connectivity: WiFi, USB, Ethernet · Indoor: yes · Outdoor: yes
